“We’re on a mission to help people get more done by building a mobile assistant in the calendar that delights users with A.I., picking up where Siri left off as the next evolution of assistants,” said Tempo AI chief exec Raj Singh in a statement. Singh is also one of the featured speakers at VentureBeat’s MobileBeat 2013 event on July 9-10. “We enhance massive amounts of data, and the calendar serves as the perfect framework because it has real context. It knows you, what you’re doing, and where you’re going. This is the future of ‘big data’ engineering — to push the A.I. down into the individual bits of your calendar.”
The round of funding was led by Relay Ventures and Sierra Ventures with participation from Mayfield Fund, Horizon Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, SingTel Innov8, Miramar Venture Partners, SRI International, Golden Venture Partners, Seavest Capital Partners, Eniac Ventures, and others.
Founded in 2011, the Menlo Park, Calif.-based startup has raised a total of $12.5 million in funding to date.
