At the center of the platform is Encore AI's patented Interaction Mining technology, which studies customer conversations alongside CRM data to identify the actions that consistently produce better business outcomes. The resulting AI agents are designed to replicate those interaction patterns while operating within compliance requirements for highly regulated industries.
"Today's enterprise AI industry is optimized for cost reduction. Encore was built for the other side of the equation. Every organization already has data showing what its best people do differently. Encore trains AI agents on this data, enabling them to deliver quality and effective customer interactions at scale, resulting in uplift in revenue and satisfaction," said founder and CEO Dr. Dvir Ginzburg.
Founded in 2022, the company originally operated as Insait IO before rebranding as Encore AI and shifting its focus to AI-powered customer interaction agents. According to the company, the platform now serves more than 40 enterprise customers globally, most of them in financial services, and annual recurring revenue has grown more than fivefold since its seed round less than 18 months ago.
Ginzburg's background in Geometric Deep Learning and recommendation systems at Microsoft informed the development of Interaction Mining, which analyzes large volumes of behavioral data to identify conversational patterns associated with successful outcomes.
Encore AI said its platform can be deployed within weeks by ingesting existing customer communications, including phone calls, emails, chats, and CRM records, rather than requiring lengthy implementation projects. One of the company's largest lending customers achieved a 10x return on investment within months of deployment, according to Encore AI.
The company's AI agents can also function alongside human employees by recommending responses during live conversations. Ginzburg said the agents are trained directly from an organization's most effective customer interactions.
"Sometimes our agents even tell the jokes that the relationship managers are telling, or give the anecdotes or examples that the relationship managers are giving, because we literally run by the playbooks that we see working," he said.
Investors said Encore AI's ability to transform existing customer interaction data into AI-driven sales and service workflows distinguishes the platform from broader enterprise AI offerings.
"Every enterprise is sitting on years of customer interaction data that it is not fully using," said Hadar Siterman Norris, Partner at Team8. "Encore AI turns that data into revenue by learning what top performers do differently and deploying those behaviors at scale. Just as important, it has built the compliance architecture needed to operate in the most demanding regulated industries. That combination gives Encore the potential to define a new category."
Planven Managing Partner Eran Westman said the firm believes companies with proprietary enterprise data and industry expertise are well positioned to build long-term AI platforms.
"The next generation of AI leaders will be defined by the enterprise value they create. We believe vertical AI companies with proprietary data advantages and deep domain expertise will build the enduring platforms of this decade. Encore AI is a compelling example of this vision, transforming years of data into AI that can consistently drive revenue at enterprise scale. We are proud to partner with Dvir and the team as they build what we believe can become a category-defining company," Westman said.
The Garage, which led Encore AI's pre-seed and seed financing, said it worked closely with the founders to validate the platform in banking environments before the company expanded commercially.
"We backed this team from the very beginning, leading both their pre-seed and seed rounds," said Omer Nagar, Managing Partner at The Garage. "Beyond capital, we worked hand in hand with the founders to validate the product in live banking environments and open doors across our ecosystem. Watching that vision become reality has been rewarding, and we're as confident today as we were on day one."
Encore AI said the new funding will support U.S. sales expansion and broader deployments with enterprise customers, particularly within financial services, where the company has concentrated its initial growth.
