Textcortex receives 1.2 million US dollars in pre-seed funding

With the Textcortex tool, texts can be generated automatically with just a few commands. The start-up has won over renowned investors.

Textcortex received 1.2 million US dollars in a pre-seed financing round. Btov Partners led the round, while Speedinvest and Entrepreneur First also invested in the AI start-up. Wayve co-founders Amar Shah and Holger Hengstler also participated as business angels.

The start-up by Ceyhun Derinbogaz and Dominik Lambersy has been in existence since last year and has developed an artificial intelligence that can create authentic texts based on a few key points. The machine-generated text can be optimized in such a way that it creates a lot of reach: for example, the AI can use simple commands to insert keywords into blog articles so that they are easier to find via search engines. The tool is available free of charge in the Chrome Webstore. Users can use it as a browser extension in emails, documents and e-commerce.

"New machine learning models can achieve a level of creativity that approaches that of humans, so AI can accelerate the creative process," explains Textcortex co-founder Dominik Lambersy. The aim is to achieve productivity gains similar to those seen in industry. Textcortex intends to use the money from the financing round to expand its team and broaden its user base.
