Persona is a personal AI assistant that gets things done, not just answered, letting people text it in iMessage or wear it as the Persona Band.
Persona is betting that a privacy-oriented, non-ambient wearable can consolidate everyday tasks now spread across utility apps into one assistant, while protecting data through encryption, deletion controls and explicit approval for purchases. The bet has early traction—a few thousand beta users and five figures in preorder revenue—and the company raised $10 million to pay for AI computing, team expansion and manufacturing ahead of planned December deliveries.
