An AI-first intelligent automation start up has emerged from stealth mode and announced a seed funding round worth $10 million. Based in Tel Aviv, Israel and New York City, ai.work said it has launched “an operating system for AI Workers.”
The company claims the agentic AI and LLMs currently available are unable to navigate the internal workflows that dominate larger enterprises and are difficult to scale. The company says its mission is to transform the chaos behind internal service workflows into self‑driving operations.
“Despite significant investment in SaaS and automation, workflows across IT, HR, Finance, Procurement, Legal, and Ops remain slow, manual, and fragmented,” the company said in its launch announcement. “As organizations scale, maintaining operational efficiency becomes an increasingly complex challenge. Recent advances in agentic AI and large language models hint at a path forward. But in practice, their impact has been limited.”
ai.work was founded in 2024 by Maor Ezer and Nir Nahum after the entrepreneurs exited a previous startup called WalkMe following a successful IPO. The seed round was led by A* and lool ventures, with participation from First Minute Capital, FirsthandVC, Timeless Partners, SV Angel, Eckstein Capital, Liquid2, Crossover VC, and other investors.
