Boby.ai, which develops artificial intelligence-supported mobile applications for end users, received a seed investment of $1.25 million in an investment round led by London Venture Partners, one of the world's most respected investment funds in the gaming sector and based in London. Diffusion Capital Partners and F4 Fund also participated in the round.
Founded by Gökçe Nur Oğuz (CEO), Onur Olgun (COO) and Berat Oğuz, Boby.ai develops user-friendly and creative artificial intelligence applications on mobile platforms and delivers them directly to the end user.
Gökçe Nur Oğuz, co-founder and CEO of Boby.ai, previously led two successful startups in the gaming industry, Playable Factory and Fabrika Games.

Boby.ai CEO Gökçe Nur Oğuz made the following statement regarding the investment:
“Everything we have learned over the years in the gaming industry—how to develop products quickly, how to scale, what works and what doesn’t—we are now bringing to AI-based mobile applications. Our goal is very clear: to develop applications that people actually use, benefit from, and enjoy. This investment is not just a financial boost for us, it is also a strong indication that we are on the right track.”
The startup’s flagship product, Mozart.ai, allows users to create personalized music with the help of artificial intelligence. The app has been downloaded more than 2.5 million times to date.

We believe Boby AI will lead the transformation in this space.”
“Mobile will be the main way to access AI”
