Dashverse<\/a>, a Bengaluru- and San Francisco-based company, is tapping into this trend with its artificial intelligence (AI) platform, Frameo AI<\/a>, which helps creators craft video-based stories<\/a> using its \u201cvibe creation\u201d tool, an approach similar to vibe coding. The company\u2019s mobile app, DashReels, serves as the showcase for this content.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, the company announced that it has secured $13 million in a funding round, marking the largest Series A raised in the mobile-first entertainment sector. The round was led by Peak XV Partners, with existing investors Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India) and Stellaris Venture Partners also participating.<\/p>\n Dashverse has positioned itself as a full-stack AI entertainment<\/a> company, focusing on platforms for mobile-first storytelling. The fresh capital will be used to enhance its core AI technologies as well as fueling product innovation. <\/p>\n The company’s mission is to propel the next wave of AI-generated narrative experiences, catering to the exploding appetite for bite-sized digital stories. The company’s mobile application for this serialised content, DashReels, has crossed five million users in a little under two months, cofounder and CEO Sanidhya Narain told ET. In six to eight months, it aims to cross the 100-million user milestone.<\/p>\n Frameo, a web application, can create a story from scratch as well, but Narain said the company wants to give a platform to stories of creators. “We still need human creativity in this process, so you need your own story. Our platform will help you convert it into a video, with AI-generated characters, in whichever setting you deem fit. This platform essentially helps creators become a one-person production studio,” he explained.<\/p>\n Currently only supporting the Hindi language, the app will launch support for Tamil and Telugu this month, and plans to add 10 languages in the coming months.<\/p>\n It runs on a subscription model and shares revenue with creators, similar to platforms such as YouTube, based on the number of views these videos get.<\/p>\n Dashverse\u2019s signature offering aims to empower creators to experiment with new forms of storytelling, blurring the lines between traditional content production and generative AI-driven visual narratives. This is to push influencers and digital storytellers to build audiences online, making episodic video content more personal, immersive, and scalable. The company is also targeting book authors, screenplay writers and storytellers whose writing never sees the light of day. <\/p>\n \u201cThe creator economy<\/a> is undergoing a seismic shift driven by generative AI<\/a>, and Dashverse is at the very heart of this transformation,\u201d said Peak XV’s Abhishek Mohan in a statement. \u201cTheir unique approach, combining proprietary AI with a deep understanding of storytelling and creator workflows, sets them apart.” <\/p>\n Dashverse has a team of 25 with the majority based in Bengaluru.<\/p>\n “We first aim to scale in India, but this has global applications. So, with this funding, we will build research and development and build out our AI stack. And then we have our eyes on expansion as well,” Narain added. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source m.economictimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The days of streaming only movies and television series are over.
