Agentic AI startup Adopt AI has secured USD 6 million in seed funding led by Elevation Capital, with participation from Foster Ventures, Powerhouse Ventures, Darkmode Ventures, and several angel investors.
The funding will help the company expand its platform that transforms existing applications into intelligent, AI-driven experiences.
Founded by Deepak Anchala, Rahul Bhattacharya, and Anirudh Badam, Adopt AI enables businesses to build and embed agent interfaces into their applications. The platform automates workflows and executes complex tasks through natural language commands, allowing users to interact with software more intuitively.
"We are at a pivotal moment in how software is built and experienced," said Deepak Anchala, Founder and CEO. "For too long, users have had to adjust to the rigid workflows of applications. Adopt AI shifts this by enabling B2B and consumer applications with complex workflows to evolve into intelligent agents without the need to re-architect the stack."
The company's no-code platform includes an agent builder that learns application workflows and generates actions automatically. It also offers a conversational AI interface that can be embedded within apps or externally, enabling users to complete tasks using natural language.
"Our platform integrates with existing applications, transforms them into agent-driven experiences, and ensures users can take actions with natural language—boosting retention and driving engagement, while providing companies full control over the underlying AI technology," Anchala added.
The founders previously built Slintel, a sales intelligence platform that raised USD 25 million and was acquired by 6sense in 2021.
Adopt AI's team includes former senior engineers from Microsoft and Google, with Chief AI Officer Anirudh Badam bringing over a decade of experience from Microsoft's Seattle HQ. Vijay Sagar, a founding AI engineer, spent 10 years at Google developing machine learning models.
"Adopt AI is at the forefront of a transformative shift in how applications engage with users," said Krishna Mehra, Partner at Elevation Capital. "Their innovative approach to empowering applications with intelligent AI agents has the potential to redefine user experiences across industries."

Satya Nadella: The hardest part of AI isn't the tech. It's getting people to change how they work.
For Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella, the biggest challenge with AI isn't building or deploying it — it's getting people to change the way they work. Work processes need to shift with tech advancements, Nadella said during a fireside chat hosted by Y Combinator. "When someone says, 'I'm going to now do my job, but with 99 agents that I am directing on my behalf,' the workflow is not going to be constant," he said. "Even the scope of your job is going to change." Change management is the main bottleneck, Nadella said in the conversation, which was published Thursday. He pointed to LinkedIn, which Microsoft owns, as an example of how AI is already reshaping roles. The company has started merging traditionally separate functions — like product design, front-end engineering, and product management — into a single role: the "full-stack builder." "That's a change in scope of even a job," he said. "How do you then rebuild the product team with new roles, new scopes?" Microsoft said in May that it plans to cut about 6,000 jobs, which is less than 3% of its global workforce. A spokesperson said that these cuts were not performance-driven. Business Insider reported in April that these cuts are intended to reduce the number of middle managers and increase the ratio of coders versus noncoders on projects. Microsoft organizations want to increase their " span of control," or the number of employees who report to each manager. Nadella did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Will AI lead to new jobs or job destruction? Tech leaders have been divided on whether AI will create new roles or cause mass job destruction. Jensen Huang, the CEO of chipmaker Nvidia, said AI will change everyone's jobs. "It's changed mine," he told reporters on the sidelines of Vivatech in Paris in June. He also said that some roles would disappear, but that AI could unlock creative opportunities. Dario Amodei, the CEO of AI startup Anthropic, warned that AI may eliminate 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming. I don't think this is on people's radar," Amodei told Axios in an interview published in May. To cope with the changes, executives say everyone — from the C-suite down — needs to use AI. Amazon's CEO told employees to get with the AI program in a public staff memo last week. "As we go through this transformation together, be curious about AI, educate yourself, attend workshops and take trainings, use and experiment with AI whenever you can," Andy Jassy wrote. He also said that AI is changing the company's workflow, and that it is going to "reduce" the company's workforce in the next few years. LinkedIn's cofounder, Reid Hoffman, said AI should be baked into every team's day-to-day work, whether at a five-person startup or a giant company.

Nvidia is again the world's most valuable company
Nvidia reclinched its title as the world's most valuable company for a second time this month. The AI chipmaker's shares rose more than 4% on Wednesday, closing at a record high for the first time since January, following CEO Jensen Huang's remarks at Nvidia's annual investor meeting. Nvidia's stock closed at $154.31 on Wednesday, exceeding its prior closing high of $149.43 on January 6. Nvidia is now worth $3.77 trillion, just ahead of Microsoft, which is worth $3.66 trillion, and Apple, at $3.01 trillion. Huang's comments on growth areas for the company boosted investor confidence. "We have many growth opportunities across our company, with AI and robotics the two largest, representing a multitrillion-dollar growth opportunity," Huang said. He added that autonomous vehicles, which will be the first commercial application of robotics, are a big focus for the company. "Nvidia Drive platform is powering the transition to software-defined vehicles and providing the immense computational horsepower required for self-driving capabilities," he said at the meeting. Huang's comments on AI growth quelled investor concerns about the company not being able to sell to China because of the US's export restrictions. Nvidia said last month that it expects to lose about $8 billion in second-quarter revenue due to the loss of sales of H20 chips. In April, President Donald Trump's administration issued new rules that stopped Nvidia from selling its H20 AI processor to China. On last month's earnings call, Huang doubled down on his previous comments that export restrictions to China have been a "failure." "The export control gave them the spirit, the energy, and the government support to accelerate their development. So I think, all in all, the export control is a failure," Huang said last month about Chinese tech companies. Nvidia reported $17.1 billion in revenue from China for its last fiscal year, or 13.1% of its total revenue. Revenue from China increased 66% from the year before. The chipmaker's stock is up almost 15% so far this year.
