Malaysian startup Respond.io raises $62.5M to expand AI agent-powered messaging, processing 2B messages/quarter.
Respond.io provides a customer conversation management software that integrates with messaging apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Messenger, Line, Telegram, WeChat, and voice calls. Its AI agents handle high volumes of customer inquiries without human intervention, enabling businesses to drive revenue from conversations. The company's pricing model is based on conversation volume, not agents, which aligns with AI adoption. With the new funding, Respond.io plans to hire, grow organically, and acquire companies in North America and Europe to expand its presence. Its data flywheel—more messages improve AI, attracting more customers—creates a competitive moat.
