The funding was secured from lead investor Peak Capital in collaboration with AI-investor Curiosity.

Neople, an innovative startup utilizing generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to create digital co-workers, announced that it had raised €1.5 million in an investment round.

Neople will use this investment to expand its team and continue the development of its generative AI technology, enabling the creation of even more helpful and intelligent digital co-workers (the Neople) that seamlessly integrate with various platform systems.

This investment is a significant milestone for our company, and we are delighted to welcome Peak and Curiosity as our partners.

Given their expertise in the AI landscape and experience in scaling platforms like Neople, they were the ideal candidates for us. This investment will accelerate the realization of our vision and drive further growth for our company.

With Neople, we aim to make the latest AI technologies accessible to everyone in the workforce. Over the next few years, we will deploy an increasing number of digital co-workers who can assist with various tasks, from answering questions to sending emails.

You can hire a Neople from us just like hiring a regular employee. We will start by assisting customer support teams, thereby transforming the customer service industry.

said Hans de Penning, co-founder and CEO of Neople.

The Neoples are trained on product information, FAQs, and past conversations by harnessing cutting-edge AI technologies. Additionally, their tone of voice can be tailored to match the specific needs of individual companies.

A Neople learns and operates in the same work environment as the employee, on platforms like Slack, Microsoft Teams or within contact centres like Trengo and Zendesk. Neoples will collaborate with customer support teams to effectively and personably resolve customer inquiries, improving efficiency in the process.
