The Portuguese artificial intelligence platform known as Amália will receive an injection of 1.8 million euros from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR). This funding aims to expand the platform's capabilities and functionalities by the end of the year.

Amália is frequently compared to the American ChatGPT, positioning itself as the Portuguese artificial intelligence alternative. The new investment aims to reinforce its position in the national and European market.

With this funding, the platform should gain more voice and additional functionalities that will allow users a more complete experience. The goal is to modernize the tool to better meet user needs.

The PRR has been an important source of funding for technological projects in Portugal, and this investment in Amália is part of a broader strategy for the development of artificial intelligence in the country.

Why this matters

This funding represents a significant investment in the development of Portuguese language AI, allowing the "Amália" platform to offer more services and functionalities to users. This is a continuation of PRR support for digital transformation projects in Portugal.
