Delphi
AI clones of creators and experts that chat with audiences in their voice, 24/7.
About
Delphi lets creators, coaches, consultants, and educators build AI clones of themselves trained on their own content: videos, podcasts, books, transcripts, and posts. Audiences can then text or talk with the clone and hear replies in the creator's voice, and Delphi handles the monetization so the expert can charge for access, collect emails, and embed the clone in a website, membership, or Slack. The pitch is presence without the person: a coach's knowledge answering questions around the clock.
The San Francisco company was founded in 2022 by Dara Ladjevardian and raised a Series A led by Sequoia Capital, with total funding reported around $18.7 million from investors including the Anthropic Anthology Fund, Founders Fund, Lux Capital, and Menlo Ventures. Delphi says its infrastructure indexes over 100 million vectors with sub-100ms retrieval, built on Pinecone after the team outgrew open-source vector databases. Pricing starts around $99 a month for a builder plan, with a revenue share on audience payments.
