Katara AI, an AI assistant platform for developers, has raised USD 2.2 million in seed funding co-led by Diagram Ventures and Sparkle Ventures, with participation from StreamingFast and angel investors. This brings Katara's total funding to USD 2.6 million.

The company plans to use the funding to expand beyond its Web3 customer base and target developers at legacy technology firms.

Katara AI offers a developer-focused workflow automation platform that can be used to streamline community and developer onboarding processes while providing actionable analytics. The solution provides an AI agent that leverages a combination of traditional machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and GenAI to answer technical queries about a project, categorize conversations, and suggest improvements. The agents can be deployed to platforms like Discord, Telegram, and Slack and deliver responses to private team channels for human-in-the-loop review and editing.
