Summary at a Glance

Speaking about Beem, Toby said: “It’s what we are calling an AI native computer — a computer than handles all the boring stuff, so finding files, going through your calendar or your emails, finding the right Airbnb if you’re taking a trip and it can also use the web.

Toby Brown, 16, is set to fly to San Francisco in the next few months to join an accelerator program designed to help young businesses grow quickly.

A teenage computer programmer who developed an AI startup in his London bedroom has secured $1 million investment from Silicon Valley.

The investment in Beem comes from South Park Commons, a venture capital fund based in San Francisco, and will be provided in two installments.

The concept for Beem was inspired by the rise of AI chatbot, Chat GPT, which can perform tasks such as answering questions, writing essays or helping with research.
