Artificial intelligence developer for virtual stores receives BRL 2,2 million in a round led by Invest Tech.
São Paulo, July 22, 2021
GoBots, a company specialized in the development of artificial intelligence for virtual stores, has just received R$ 2,2 million in investments.
The seed investment round was led by InvestTech, with R$ 1,9 million, and accompanied by the Aimorés Investimentos.
In addition to the round, the gobots was selected for the Growth program of Startup Chile, the largest accelerator in Latin America, where it will receive an additional investment of approximately BRL 500.
Created in 2017, GoBots emerged with the aim of making communication more accessible through the application of Artificial Intelligence.
After customized projects, the company focused its product on the e-commerce segment.
With a “plug and play” hiring process and Artificial Intelligence specialists in products from the main marketplaces, GoBots quickly expanded to more than 500 stores in 8 countries (Latin America and China).
With the idea of making life easier for those who manage an e-commerce and offering the customer an experience close to that of physical stores, GoBots develops artificial intelligence robots and implements them in virtual stores.
The system is responsible for helping stores to boost sales and serve consumers quickly and efficiently, reducing day-to-day tasks.
“When the buyer responds in less than 2 minutes, the chance of buying is 3 times greater” explains Victor based on the results obtained.
The robots work by answering questions and queries from customers on the product pages of the websites.
To serve customers with agility and precision, AI uses an extensive database of product information, in the history of questions and evaluations of the service team.
AI constantly evolves with the volume of interactions and innovations developed by the Research and Development team.
Another differential is that each store or website has its own robot, with specific information accessed only by the store, such as stock data and customer purchase history, which guarantees the accuracy of the answers and the improvement of technology.
Investment
GoBots was created by Victor Hochgreb and Samuel Birocchi, graduated in Computer Engineering from Unicamp, and by Daniel Buglia, graduated in business administration from the Methodist University of São Paulo.
“Latin America had the highest growth in E-commerce in the world in 2020, which was 36.7%. In this period, GoBots more than doubled and many new opportunities emerged for us to help from the large marketplace to the small retailer who sells online” explains Victor.
In addition, the company's growth strategy is aggressive.
“The focus of the allocation of resources will be in the commercial area and in the development of the product. We plan to triple in size in the next year and in two years to grow at least tenfold,” comments Daniel.
Samuel says that the investment will help to give more vent to GoBots projects. “We have a lot of ideas and demands to improve our product and this investment will help speed up those deliveries,” he says.
