AI Pays Your Bill: MachinePulse's Karpo Funds Outings Up To $300 If Your Plan Impresses It

• US startup MachinePulse launched an AI agent, Karpo, that offers to pay for your outing if it finds your plan interesting.
• Users text Karpo their plans before heading out; if approved, Karpo covers expenses up to USD300 (approx. Rs 27,000).
• The AI's decision is subjective, making it feel like a game where users try creative plans or personal stories to get noticed.
• This initiative is a marketing strategy for MachinePulse to gain attention and direct interaction with its AI product, rather than traditional advertising.
• Karpo demonstrates a new way AI is being used, making judgments and rewarding interesting ideas, moving beyond typical chatbot functions.
