Darwin AI

18 Rua Jorge Street, Sao Paulo, Brazil

Overview

Darwin AI is a São Paulo, Brazil–based startup that provides intelligent agents (AI workers) to assist sales, customer support, post-sales and collections processes. Its agents integrate with WhatsApp, Instagram and phone calls and include products such as Alba (sales qualification), Sophia (post-sales follow-up), Lucas (collections) and Eva (support and CSAT). Founded in July 2023 by Lautaro Schiaffino and Ezequiel Sculli, the company targets mid-market companies across Latin America seeking to scale operations without scaling headcount. Darwin reports more than $2 million in annual bookings across 20 LATAM countries and expects to multiply revenue several times in 2025. The company plans to use the new funding to accelerate growth in LATAM and to advance product development of its AI workers. Its offering focuses on collaboration between AI agents and human workers to automate routine tasks while escalating qualified opportunities to human teams. Darwin AI is a Brazil-based startup developing a conversational AI assistant to help small businesses across Latin America engage customers, filter leads and escalate high-propensity leads to human salespeople. The system connects to companies' CRMs, integrates with Zapier and regional CRMs, and has processed thousands of conversations with customers in Mexico, Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia. Since launching in 2023 it is on track to reach over 1 million conversations this year and the company has generated revenue from the start, though the founders declined to disclose amounts. Pricing currently includes a setup fee, a monthly fixed plan and a per-conversation usage fee; additional plan tiers are planned. Darwin is close to deploying a self-learning AI function intended to get customers up and running in days without a dedicated IT team. The founders, Lautaro Schiaffino and Ezequiel Sculli, previously built Sirena.app, which reached $15M ARR and operated in 25 countries before selling to Zenvia in 2020.
