About MetaSota / 秘塔科技

Shanghai Mita Network Technology Co., Ltd., operating as metasota.ai, is an artificial intelligence firm that develops tools to enhance professional productivity. The company was established in April 2018 by Min Kerui, a serial entrepreneur. Kerui's background includes co-founding the natural language technology provider 'Boson Data' in 2012, which was later acquired by Ant Group in 2015. He also served as the chief scientist at Cheetah Mobile in 2017 before founding Meta Sota.

The company provides a suite of AI-powered services targeting academic researchers, legal professionals, and content creators. Its product lineup includes 'Meta Translation', a professional AI legal translation service, 'Meta Writing Cat', an AI-assisted writing and proofreading tool, and 'Quantum Sketch', an article generation product. More recently, in March, Meta Sota launched an AI-powered search tool that provides direct answers with source citations, and automatically generates outlines and mind maps. For the legal sector, its 'MetaLaw' tool performs case analysis, converting natural language queries into legal terminology to find relevant cases. The company differentiates itself by offering a suite of tools tailored for professional use, focusing on accuracy without advertisements.

Meta Sota has secured significant funding, recently completing a financing round of over 100 million yuan, led by Ant Group with participation from Lightspeed China Partners. This investment brought the company's valuation to $150 million. Previous investors include Future Capital, Cheetah Mobile, and Amino Capital. The company's strategic alignment is evident in Ant Group's interest in developing "professional intelligent agents" for specialized fields. While many companies in the space rely on third-party models, Meta Sota utilizes its own self-developed models for its applications.
