Bevel Raises $10M to Teach an AI How to Babysit Your Health Data

Well, buckle up, because apparently Bevel just convinced General Catalyst to throw a fat $10 million Series A at them so their shiny new AI health companion can nag you about how little sleep you’re getting and how you’re slowly dying from bad life choices. That’s right – another “revolutionary AI startup” has waddled into the room, screaming that it’s going to fix health care with machine learning, cloud nonsense, and copious amounts of buzzwords.

The company’s pitch? This thing will act like your friendly neighborhood health butler, making sense of your medical data and somehow personalizing everything to keep you healthier. Which probably means it’ll tell you to drink water, sleep more, and stop eating like a rabid raccoon – all data-driven, of course. Because nothing says “innovation” like reinventing the doctor’s office pamphlet with AI slapped on top.

General Catalyst, bless their venture-capital-fueled optimism, seems convinced this is the second coming of health tech. The dough is supposed to help Bevel expand, hire more code monkeys, and further develop their so-called “AI companion.” Translation: more people to make the bloody chatbot ask dumber questions about your exercise routine while your smartwatch judges you quietly in the corner.

So yeah, Bevel’s now rolling in millions to make sure your health data gets analyzed, visualized, and monetized under the warm glow of AI. Because who needs privacy when you’ve got a digital overlord asking if you’ve done your morning stretches?

Reminds me of the time someone tried to get me to monitor office caffeine levels with “AI-powered analytics.” I told them I’d analyze their caffeine intake by unplugging their espresso machine. Problem solved.
