Hivemind is described on its website as a social AI that has one-on-one conversations with many people at once to answer the question of what people really think about a given topic. It aggregates individual “fragments of the truth” (for example, opinions about a restaurant or dynamics in an AI lab) by talking to many people, and pieces these together into a higher‑resolution, collective understanding that no single person could have. The product has been running a beta program in which it has been used for use cases such as orchestrating first dates between strangers, locating hard-to-find products, and identifying emerging trends before they become headlines. The company is venture-backed, with investors including First Round Capital and angels such as Biz Stone (Twitter), Tobi Lütke (Shopify), Evan Sharp (Pinterest), Ari Weinstein (OpenAI), among others.
