Marissa Mayer launches photo-driven AI assistant Dazzle
What happened
On September 29, 2026, TechCrunch reported that former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer launched a personal AI assistant called Dazzle. Dazzle raised an $8 million seed round last December, and its only context source is the phone camera roll, not email or calendar. Users interact with Dazzle through an app or text messages; it scans recent photos to fill in a calendar, recommends trips and gifts from the photo library, and claims it discards personal information flagged as sensitive.
