Context
Zenzap is betting that agents will spread at work through shared team chats rather than one person chatbots, and it is aiming at non tech businesses that Slack never reached.
This is a launch post by Zenzap's own cofounder and CEO, Guy Weiss, so it is promotional, and its claims about thousands of teams and CISO enthusiasm are the company's own. According to Ynet, the Israeli startup has emerged from stealth with $44 million in total funding led jointly by Bessemer Venture Partners and Lightspeed Venture Partners, while Calcalist describes a $33 million Series A. The post reached the tracked feed through a repost by AK and a quote by Rohan Paul.
Deep dive
On October 14, Guy Weiss introduced Zenzap as a multiplayer AI platform in which people and proactive AI agents sit in the same group chats and automate workflows with shared context across business tools. He wrote that anyone can create an agent in 90 seconds, even from a phone, and that thousands of teams from an early access program already use it.
Bessemer, which says it backed the company from inception, describes Zenzap as chat for work that is as intuitive as WhatsApp but governed like Slack. In its post, agents live in group chats as teammates connected to more than 400 business apps, pull data into the thread, act on it, get approvals and write results back. Teams can build specialized agents, each with its own skills and tool access.
Bessemer also gives early numbers: two weeks after agents rolled out to existing customers, 60% of those who turned them on used them daily, and agent activity grew about 20 times. These are investor and company figures that have not been independently checked.
Ynet reports that Zenzap was founded in 2022 by Weiss, CTO Jonatan Bien and COO Noam Neumann. Weiss told Calcalist the company is targeting non tech organizations that Slack has not reached, such as healthcare groups and real estate firms, with agents that can schedule meetings and handle email. Weiss said that until now AI has been a personal experience of one person and one chatbot, and that Zenzap was built so agents and humans share the same context.
What to expect next
Watch whether Zenzap can pull non tech businesses off personal messaging apps, and whether its daily usage figures hold up beyond early adopters now that it is open to everyone.
Also watch how Slack, Microsoft Teams and WhatsApp respond, since putting agents directly into group chats with approvals is becoming a common pattern, and whether security buyers accept agents with broad access to hundreds of connected business apps.
