Photon raises $4.5M to build the messaging distribution layer for assistants
The post argues personal assistants matter more once they reach users in existing channels like iMessage and WhatsApp, and that Photon is building that infrastructure for Muse, Instinct and others.
I think personal agents get a lot more interesting once they can actually reach you where you already spend time. Muse, Instinct, Wajo and others are already showing how viral this category can get. Photon is basically building the infrastructure behind that distribution layer, letting agents move into iMessage, WhatsApp and more instead of living inside another app. 50K+ developers and 450K monthly npm downloads since April is a pretty strong signal that builders want this too. Congrats to @PhotonHQ on the $4.5M seed.
