The games led to the creation of GPU processors in the 90s, so it only suits artificial intelligence – technology that GPUs are used nowadays – almost every aspect of video games design. According to this trend, the startup called on Wednesday Set – which builds AI agents for the construction and start of mobile games – emerges with Stealth with financing $ 27 million.
Financing was collected in two tranches, the latest of which is a series of $ 15 million, run by Bessemer Venture Partners. Saga VC, VGames, F2 Venture Capital and Akin Babayigit-Social Sciencesman and former head of the British games of Unicorn Tripledot, which currently manages VC Arcadia Gaming Advisors-Alternating.
Earlier, the sett raised $ 12 million for seeds for seeds from F2, Bessemer and some leaders of the game industry as investors of angels.
(In the case of amazing time, the sources tell me that Approvin, the would-be Sett’s competitor, today declares the sale of his assets for Tripledot games. This offer for $ 800 million-not $ 900 million as an app. Earlier estimated – is to be publicly confirmed later around Applovin Q1 Earnings. More on this subject below.)
Until now, the sett from Tel Aviv has adopted the same approach to “hiding mode” as many other B2B startups. From the moment of establishing in 2022, it was under the radar, matching the product market and cultivating its early customer base. Today, this list of customers comprises Zynga, Scoply, Playtika, Superplay, Rovio, Plarium, Candivore and Unity.
Five months ago he announced a website, but now, when he is fully hiding, the sett does not put the pedal in a marketing metal. He says that he has over 100 games on the list of waiting on board, so it is planned to make use of recent funds to employ engineers and AI specialists.
As for the product, the emphasis is on what Amit Carmi CEO-who has co-founded the company from Cto Yoni Blumenfeld-utilies that it is one of the biggest pain points in the mobile games industry: noticing.

“Games are one of the most competitive industries in the world,” said TechCrunch in an interview. “There are many players, but in fact you have more games than people. It is easy to build games, but almost impossible, statistically, creating a game that has been successful.”
Companies spend a lot on the marketing of users’ purchase to enhance these probabilities of success, he continued, but normally building and placing this content is very expensive. On average, around $ 29 billion seems to realize revenues of around $ 100 billion, in accordance with research with Appsflyer.
The Sett solution is an AI agent in the marketing of game publisher. Extensive tracking at user level is a past on iOS, so it now focuses on what Carmi defines as “creative content”-in the game and marketing streams of interactive moments built on the aesthetics of the game, which are aimed at attracting users to try recent games or play more.
These “playable” promoting and marketing efforts are currently very catchy, but they could be very expensive and time -consuming to create, much like building recent versions of the game.
At this point, the sett sees the opportunity. What people needed to encode, place and measure from scratch before, can now be built with a sett, the startup claim, 15 times faster and 25 times cheaper.
Babayigit Arcadia, since his stay in Tripledot, knows first hand how necessary marketing is, helping games stand out and play. In an interview he described this concept as “without a brain”. “They are only a phenomenal team and an extremely talented group of people.”
The possibility of targeted Sett is also proven. The assets of the game studio, which the Sett Applovin competitor sells to Tripledot for $ 800 million, have been built in the first place, largely we understand to coach AI models, which AppPlovin now uses in a wide selection of promoting and marketing tools, including creating your individual games that could be played for clients by Sparklabs.
Now, when AI models and wide user networks are created – Approvin has a market capitalization of $ 103 billion, despite many short seller’s noise – game studios are now not basic for Applovin. Meanwhile, Appplovin has monuments for a much larger reward: this is one of the corporations he has publicly found This would require the purchase of a global Tiktok business.
How many artificial intelligence is too much?
There is a large query mark for all AI services that may take over the growing number of functions previously carried out by people. How much is too much? Is there even “too much”? Companies similar to Agave already put artificial intelligence into the creative process, and probably when the genie is not from the bottle, it will possibly be.
Carmi said that although he thinks that you’re going to ultimately give you the option to build AI agents for development and on the game market at the end, it might not be where he settles.
“We think that this is actually a greater opportunity than what we are doing now. This is the reason why we built our game engine and agency layer in the way it generates the code and allows us to introduce all what we basically do the game itself,” he said. “For now, the vision of Sett is to take both marketing content and content in the game.”
“I do not think that Genesis is to replace” all features “of the design and performance of the game,” said Babayigit.
“I don’t even know if it is possible now, because to compete in a very crowded area, the belt is very high, so you need to do a game in which the details are very important. But I know that this team works with real technology behind them, so if someone can do some parts of production and distribution, they are them.”
