Yobi is a rapidly growing Behavioral AI company on a mission to ethically democratize the benefits of data and AI.
Since 2019, we have built one of the largest consented behavioral datasets in the United States, extending far beyond the walled gardens of Big Tech. Unlike traditional LLM companies, Yobi builds foundation models of human behavior grounded in real-world actions such as purchases and store visits.
Our private-by-design modeling enables state-of-the-art personalization and decisioning for leading brands and agencies while protecting privacy, safety, and ethics.
Today, we are focused on bringing the performance of closed-web user acquisition to the open web and connected TV, giving brands walled-garden results without the walls.
At our core, Yobi is building the behavioral intelligence layer for any system that makes a personalization decision.

What We Do
Since Yobi’s founding in 2019, we’ve been focused on solving the single biggest challenge to democratized AI for organizations of all sizes: ACCESS TO DATA.
Today’s Large Language Model’s lack a defensible moat because they’re trained on public data, like Reddit, WordPress, and other public web sites. Unfortunately, unless you’re Google or Amazon, your 1P data estate doesn’t provide a holistic consumer view to deliver real impact.
Yobi partnered with Microsoft to assemble one of the largest consented behavioral datasets to underpin a private foundation model of behavioral intelligence without sacrificing consumer choice or privacy.
For data scientists, this foundation model can be fine-tuned and joined to customer 1P data to ignite model training and performance.
For marketers, this big-tech like behavioral model can be plugged into open web activation and personalization platforms to unlock new levels of audience targeting and consumer experiences beyond the walled gardens.
Together, through collaboration, WE CAN DEMOCRATIZE THE AI REVOLUTION.
