Marissa Mayer has unveiled Dazzle, a personal AI assistant that analyzes the user's camera roll to build context. The assistant is available through its own app or via text, according to TechCrunch.
Dazzle splits its functionality into two areas: immediate tasks and personalized idea generation. That structure is meant to let the assistant handle quick requests while also surfacing suggestions tailored to the user.
Mayer said Dazzle prioritizes privacy and discards personal information that the AI flags as sensitive. The company raised an $8 million seed round in December 2025.
Background
