Inner AI Raises Seed Funding to Expand AI Workspace and Autonomous Agent Platform
Inner AI, a Brazil-based artificial intelligence startup developing an AI workspace and autonomous agent platform, has raised seed funding to accelerate product development and expand its presence in the growing AI productivity market. The company raised a seed round of approximately $5 million to $6 million led by Canary and ONEVC, with participation from Norte Ventures, Crivo Ventures, and Phenomen Ventures. The financing will support Inner AI’s efforts to develop its AI assistant ecosystem, expand its user base, and advance its autonomous AI agent product, Squad.com.
Founded in Brazil, Inner AI is building a platform that brings multiple artificial intelligence models into a single workspace. The company’s technology allows users to access and manage different AI models, including large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, through one integrated environment. The platform is designed to simplify AI adoption by giving users a centralized place to complete tasks, generate content, and use AI-powered tools.
Canary led Inner AI’s seed financing. The Brazilian venture capital firm invests in early-stage technology companies and has backed startups across software, fintech, marketplaces, and artificial intelligence. Canary’s investment reflects growing interest in AI companies from Latin America that are building products for a global market.
ONEVC also co-led the seed round. The venture firm focuses on supporting technology startups and founders developing scalable businesses. ONEVC’s participation highlights investor demand for AI platforms that aim to move beyond simple chatbot experiences and provide more advanced automation capabilities.
Additional investors included Norte Ventures, Crivo Ventures, and Phenomen Ventures. These investors joined the round as Inner AI expanded its platform from an AI productivity workspace into a broader ecosystem focused on autonomous AI assistants and business automation.
Inner AI was founded by Pedro Salles and Eduardo Mitelman. The company initially focused on creating a unified AI platform that enabled users to access multiple artificial intelligence models from one interface. As generative AI adoption accelerated, Inner AI expanded its vision toward building AI agents capable of completing tasks with greater independence.
The company’s next major product initiative is Squad.com, an autonomous AI agent platform designed to help users automate business activities. Squad.com aims to allow AI agents to perform tasks such as customer service interactions, marketing operations, and financial processes with limited human intervention. The platform targets businesses seeking easier ways to incorporate AI into everyday operations.
The funding comes as companies worldwide increasingly explore autonomous AI agents as the next stage of artificial intelligence adoption. While early generative AI products focused on answering questions and generating content, AI agent platforms are designed to take actions, manage workflows, and complete multi-step processes on behalf of users.
Inner AI has gained traction among users looking for a simpler way to access multiple AI capabilities. The company has reported serving more than one million users through its platform, reflecting growing demand for tools that make advanced AI models easier to use.
The startup’s growth reflects broader momentum in Latin America’s artificial intelligence ecosystem. Investors have increasingly looked toward regional AI companies developing products that can serve both local and international markets. Inner AI’s approach combines access to leading AI models with a user-friendly interface designed to help individuals and businesses integrate artificial intelligence into their workflows.
The company has also expanded its physical presence and customer engagement initiatives, including plans to open a physical AI-focused location in São Paulo where users can explore and configure AI tools. The initiative is aimed at making artificial intelligence more accessible to businesses and individuals who want practical guidance on adopting AI technologies.
The new capital will help Inner AI continue improving its AI platform, expand engineering and product teams, and accelerate the development of autonomous AI agents. The company plans to invest in technology that enables AI assistants to become more proactive and capable of handling increasingly complex tasks.
As artificial intelligence continues transforming how people work and businesses operate, Inner AI is positioning itself as a company focused on making advanced AI tools more accessible. By combining multiple AI models, workflow automation, and autonomous agents, the startup aims to create a platform that helps users move from simply interacting with AI to delegating tasks to intelligent systems.
With backing from Canary, ONEVC, Norte Ventures, Crivo Ventures, and Phenomen Ventures, Inner AI is continuing its expansion in the competitive AI software market. The company’s focus on AI workspaces and autonomous agents positions it among a growing group of startups seeking to define the next generation of artificial intelligence applications.
