Tab emerges from stealth at a $300 million valuation

Tab said it emerged from stealth at a $300 million valuation, without disclosing exact funding details. The company presents its personal AI assistant as a service that carries out tasks users send through iMessage or WhatsApp. Its launch puts questions about permissions, payment controls and data use alongside its stated capabilities.

In the source account, the company’s founders are Brennan Erbz, Stafford Schlitt and Ammar Amdani. Amdani described users sending requests by text, including ordering groceries or finding birthday presents. Tab then handles the requested task, rather than returning instructions for the user to follow. The account does not specify which services, regions or task types are currently supported.

Tab says user approval gates actions

Amdani said the assistant has its own phone number, computer and wallet. The source does not explain how those components are secured, or how a user grants access to them. It also does not identify an independent authority overseeing the product or assessing its controls. Those details matter for organisations deciding how an assistant may interact with communications, purchases or other services.

Tab said user data is never used to train AI. Amdani also said the user’s card is held in a vault that Tab itself cannot see, and that actions which cannot be undone require the user’s approval. The account gives no technical description of the vault, approval flow or treatment of information shared with external services. Tab’s statements therefore describe its approach, while the source provides no separate verification or regulator’s assessment.

Three investors named in the round

The investors named in the round are SV Angel, Valar Ventures and American Spirit. Tab did not disclose the exact funding details, and the source reports no amount raised or other financial terms. The announced $300 million figure is a valuation, not a disclosed funding total. The distinction is relevant to readers assessing the company’s financing and its plans.

Amdani said Tab is growing mostly through word of mouth and plans to launch a new product soon. The report does not name that product or provide a release date. It also does not state the company’s location, the launch’s geographic scope or whether the assistant is generally available. Those gaps limit what can be concluded about its reach and near-term commercial position.

Questions remain about access and oversight

The account does not identify a regulator, legal proceeding or formal regulatory stage connected with Tab. It also offers no company response to a regulatory inquiry; none is reported. The available statements address the company’s own data and approval policies, rather than establishing legal compliance. No independent review, enforcement decision or legal status is described in the source.

For policy watchers and counsel, the next useful information would be a fuller account of the assistant’s permissions, payment safeguards and handling of data outside Tab. The company’s planned product launch may provide further detail, but the source gives no timing. Until then, its claims about training, the card vault and approval remain attributed to Amdani. The reported valuation and named investors are the concrete financing details currently available.
