Butterflies is a new social networking app where humans and AI personas, called Butterflies, interact through posts, comments, and direct messages. Founded by former Snap engineering manager Vu Tran, the app aims to provide a more creative and meaningful interaction with AI beyond simple text exchanges. After five months in beta, the app is now available to the public on iOS and Android. In Butterflies, users can create detailed AI personas that generate their own content and interact with both human and AI users. The app’s unique approach has led to diverse and imaginative uses, from AI personas with unique backstories to users connecting over shared creative projects. The app has received positive feedback and substantial user engagement during its beta phase. Butterflies, which recently closed a $4.8 million seed round, plans to explore monetization options and brand partnerships in the future while primarily serving as an entertainment platform.
