Connectly.ai builds an AI-powered conversational commerce platform that personalizes text messages and automates conversations across messaging channels including WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, and web chat. Its AI is fine-tuned on a retailer’s product catalog and plugged into the brand’s online store to send alerts about price changes, stock, offers, and to build audience segments. The platform automates follow-ups such as cart-abandonment messages with discount codes or lower-cost shipping offers. The company says its bots always identify themselves and that it is compliant with GDPR opt-out requirements. Connectly serves over 300 paying customers and reported $3.5 million in revenue last year, having grown revenue 5x the prior year; it expects revenue to grow 100% in 2024 to roughly $7 million by year-end. Founded in 2020 by Stefanos Loukakos and Yandong Liu, Connectly faces competition from Attentive, Twilio, Infobip, Bird, Take Blip, and Yalo. The company operates with a San Francisco-based workforce of 65 employees and plans to grow to nearly 80 by the end of the year.
