Ghost, an AI hardware startup, has raised $11 million in funding to bring its Core product to market. Core is a personal computer specifically built to run —autonomous software that can take actions on behalf of the user. The company was founded by a 19-year-old entrepreneur, marking a notable entry into the emerging market of AI-first hardware devices.
The device positions itself as a dedicated machine for AI work, rather than a general-purpose computer adapted for AI tasks. At $3,499, it targets users who want a standalone system optimized for running and managing personal AI agents.
