总部位于伦敦的 Nous 已筹集 1700 万美元（约合 1.23 亿元人民币），用于将其家庭 AI 代理推向英国以外的市场并增加新功能。Heartcore Capital 和现有种子轮投资方 Mosaic Ventures 领投，Chalfen Ventures、Joyance Partners 和 Bain Future Back Ventures 跟投。

该代理帮助用户转换到更便宜的车险、能源、宽带和手机套餐，还能取消订阅、填写表格。
The agent moves people to cheaper car insurance, energy, broadband and mobile deals. It also cancels subscriptions and fills in forms.
此外，它会标记昂贵的合同条款和续约事项，管理家庭日历，寻找当地服务商并预约上门服务。
In addition, it flags expensive contract terms and renewals, keeps family calendars, finds local tradespeople and books appointments.
一旦家庭注册，Nous 就会代表其做出决策并执行行动，而不仅仅是发送建议。据公司称，目前已有近 25 万英国家庭使用该服务，每分钟就有一个新家庭加入。
Once a household signs up, Nous makes decisions and acts for it instead of simply sending suggestions. Almost 250,000 UK homes now use the service, and a new one joins every minute, according to the company.
Nous 表示，它管理着每个家庭每年约 2765 英镑（约合 3703 美元）的支出，总计超过 6.85 亿英镑（约合 9.17 亿美元）。公司补充说，典型家庭每年可在账单上节省 734 英镑（约合 983 美元）。
Nous said it looks after about £2,765 ($3,703) of each home’s yearly spending. That adds up to more than £685m ($917m). A typical household saves £734 ($983) on its bills, the company added.
创始人兼首席执行官 Greg Marsh 此前曾联合创办豪华房屋租赁市场 onefinestay，该公司于 2016 年被雅高收购。他于 2021 年创立 Nous，次年完成 900 万美元种子轮融资，据《TechCrunch》当时报道。
Founder and chief executive Greg Marsh previously co-founded onefinestay, the luxury home rental marketplace that Accor bought in 2016. He started Nous in 2021, and it raised a $9M seed round the following year, TechCrunch reported at the time.
该产品于 2025 年退出测试版。Nous 大多数任务使用大语言模型处理；对于资金决策等敏感操作，则切换到固定规则，公司称这能降低出错风险。由于已在金融行为监管局注册，Nous 表示也能处理保险等受监管产品。
The product left beta in 2025. Nous uses large language models for most tasks. For sensitive actions such as money decisions, it switches to fixed rules, which the company said cuts the risk of errors. Because it is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority, Nous said, it can also handle regulated products such as insurance.
“这不是给科技宅玩的玩具，”Marsh 说，“我们绝大多数用户是女性，通常是职场妈妈，她们承担了家庭大部分的心智负担。”公司补充称，不出售客户数据、不靠广告盈利，因此其代理仅为用户服务，而非为供应商服务。
“This isn’t a toy for tech bros,” Marsh said. “The vast majority of our users are women, typically working mums, who have to carry much of the mental load for their household.”The company added that it does not sell customer data or earn money from advertising, so its agent works only for users rather than for suppliers.
Nous 正将自己定位为专业代理，因为更广泛的个人代理已开始面向消费者。Meta 于 9 月推出了其 Muse 个人代理，几周后 Instinct 以 100 亿美元估值融资 10 亿美元。
Nous is positioning itself as a specialist as broader personal agents reach consumers. Meta launched its Muse personal agent in September, and weeks later Instinct raised $1bn at a $10bn valuation.
Marsh 指出，英国家庭的自动支付每年达 1.7 万亿英镑。他预测，代理将在十年内管理其中超过一半的金额。
Marsh put British homes’ automatic payments at £1.7tn a year. He predicted agents would manage more than half of that within ten years.
未来一年，Nous 计划利用这笔资金覆盖更多支出类别和更多受监管业务，包括更广泛的保险和其他金融服务。同时，它将增加日常琐事工具，并拓展至其他国家。
Over the next year, Nous plans to use the funding to cover more spending categories and more regulated work, including wider insurance and other financial services. Alongside that, it will add tools for everyday chores and expand into other countries.
