ProRataAI secured a $40 million Series B financing round. Touring Capital led this investment. The funding accelerates the rollout of Gist Answers, a new AI-as-a-service solution.
Gist Answers enables publishers to embed custom AI search, summarization, and recommendation features directly into their websites. This platform aims to return control of the AI search experience to publishers. Furthermore, it drives longer sessions and stronger engagement.
ProRata has raised over $75 million since its founding last year.
Empowering Publishers with AI Search
Publishers can license their content to ProRata, informing Gist Answers on third-party destinations. Over 700 high-quality publications worldwide already participate in this ethical, licensed model. ProRata's AI solutions prioritize content creator respect.
Gist Answers works alongside Gist Ads, an innovative advertising platform. Gist Ads transforms AI answers into high-value ad inventory. It places native, conversational ads adjacent to AI responses, reshaping digital advertising.
The company founded its mission on recognizing journalists' and creators' work as a vital knowledge source. ProRata ensures transparent attribution and proportional compensation. This model contrasts with traditional search providers like Google Search and Microsoft Bing.
