TextYess is a Milan-based startup that provides an AI-driven platform enabling e-commerce companies to sell products and engage customers directly through WhatsApp. Launched in January 2024 by former Blink growth manager Riccardo Russo and ex-GrowishPay engineer Edvaldo Gjonikaj, the solution integrates conversational AI agents that handle product discovery, purchasing, and support inside the messaging app. The technology is positioned to boost conversion rates by meeting shoppers in their preferred communication channel and automating routine interactions. Recent additions to the leadership team include Ilaria Carofiglio and Pietro di Chio, bringing experience from Charles, Talent Garden, and Scalapay. With fresh capital, TextYess plans to scale its AI agent suite, expand internationally, and build out its commercial organization. No revenue or user metrics have been publicly disclosed to date.
