USD $6 million raised by Adopt AI to launch agent-driven platform

Today

Adopt AI has secured USD $6 million in seed funding to support the launch of its platform designed to equip applications with intelligent agent capabilities and improve user interaction through conversational interfaces.

The funding round was led by Elevation Capital, with participation from Foster Ventures, Powerhouse Ventures, Darkmode Ventures, and a number of angel investors.

The investment reflects the appetite for technical solutions that automate workflows and enable complex actions through natural language commands, potentially altering how end users experience software.

Adopt AI was founded by Deepak Anchala, Rahul Bhattacharya, and Anirudh Badam. Anchala and Bhattacharya previously co-founded Slintel, a sales intelligence platform that raised USD $25 million, grew to more than 100 employees, and served over 300 customers before being acquired by 6sense in 2021.

The company brings together a team of AI engineers with experience from businesses including Microsoft and Google. Chief AI Officer Anirudh Badam brings over a decade of expertise from Microsoft in Seattle, while founding AI engineer Vijay Sagar previously worked on machine learning models at Google's Silicon Valley office for ten years.

Describing the company's vision, Deepak Anchala, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Adopt AI, stated: "We are at a pivotal moment in how software is built and experienced. For too long, users have had to adjust to the rigid workflows of applications."

"Adopt AI shifts this by enabling B2B and consumer applications with complex workflows to evolve into intelligent agents without the need to re-architect the stack. Our platform integrates with existing applications, transforms them into agent-driven experiences, and ensures users can take actions with natural language—boosting retention and driving engagement, while providing companies full control over the underlying AI technology."

Krishna Mehra, Partner at Elevation Capital, commented on the investment: "Adopt AI is at the forefront of a transformative shift in how applications engage with users. Their innovative approach to empowering applications with intelligent AI agents has the potential to redefine user experiences across industries. We are excited to support a team that is not only building the future of AI-powered interactions but also delivering tangible value to businesses today."

The Adopt AI platform features a no-code Agent Builder, enabling companies to build, launch, and monitor the agent experience for their applications immediately. The Agent Builder automatically analyses applications and generates a suite of actions. Users interact with the resulting AI Agent through a conversational interface capable of executing a range of actions using natural language, giving users a more intuitive and effective way to perform tasks.

The launch coincides with the introduction of Adopt AI's Early Access Program.

This programme gives businesses an opportunity to pilot the solution and work directly with the Adopt AI team as they explore agent-driven transformations within their operations.

Viral, Cofounder and Chief Technology Officer at 6sense, said: "We're entering a new era where software adapts to human language, not the other way around. Point-and-click interfaces will give way to natural conversations — through text or voice. Adopt provides the tools to accelerate that transformation."

Neel Mehta, Senior Product Manager at Zuora, added: "As the industry accelerates towards agentic AI, Adopt AI stands out as a highly promising platform."

"Adopt AI has the potential to be a game-changer in how organizations approach intelligent workflow automation and multi-step task orchestration. Its approach is forward-thinking and well-aligned with where the future of enterprise AI is headed."

Pushpak Teja, Senior Product Strategy Manager at Moengage, commented: "Adopt AI provides the tools and flexibility needed to build agentic solutions quickly and effectively, giving companies a significant advantage in streamlining their operations."

Ajay Vardhan, Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder of Spendflo, noted: "Adopt has fundamentally changed how we think about building our product. It gave us a faster go-to-market, complete control over AI behavior, and exponential coverage of actions across our product without needing to rebuild anything. It fits right into our existing infrastructure, brings discipline to how we design APIs, and lets us focus on core product development while Adopt handles the AI heavy lifting."

"This is how modern products should think about agentifying their platforms."

Adopt AI's platform is positioned to help applications deliver agentic experiences to end users by automatically connecting with APIs, content, and other resources, and creating a variety of natural language-driven actions. The platform allows development teams to test and refine workflows prior to deployment, with the intention of streamlining processes, reducing customer support costs, and enhancing feature rollout speed.
