The Danish startup deepdots, founded by former Google engineers, has obtained a €5.5 million seed funding round led by Dawn Capital as companies across multiple industries increase their investments in artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to enhance customer service processes.
The firm creates AI models designed to automate the gathering and assessment of customer input, enabling enterprise clients to analyze vast amounts of data with human-like accuracy.
This investment will support the growth of its workforce, the establishment of an office in Barcelona, and the scaling of its platform in response to rising demand for AI-based tools that optimize support processes.
agentic AI—systems capable of autonomously aiding or substituting human agents in roles that interact with customers—is surging.
Research from Cisco predicts that by 2028, over two-thirds of customer service interactions will likely be managed by AI.
Some perceive agentic AI as a way to boost efficiency and decrease response times, while detractors warn that these tools may further erode the human aspect in an already impersonal support landscape.
A study from Harvard Business School indicates that consumers prefer empathetic communication and report higher satisfaction when they believe a response is crafted by a human. Nearly half of those surveyed expressed willingness to wait longer for a genuine interaction.
With backing from Dawn Capital and early successes in Europe, deepdots now confronts the challenge of proving that its platform can save time while enhancing a sector still hesitant about the constraints of AI.
