Zenzap has raised 44 million dollars from investors including Bessemer, Lightspeed and The Garage, TechCrunch reports. The company is developing an AI-powered workplace messaging service, aimed particularly at businesses whose teams currently communicate through consumer apps.

Its positioning targets sectors as varied as hospitality, construction, healthcare and fast food. Guy Weiss, its head, presents the service as a way to bring together an organization’s conversations and context while respecting its IT and security rules. This commercial proposition does not, on its own, constitute validation of compliance.

The free offering includes group conversations, direct messages, task management, calendar integration, and AI-assisted voice and search features. Paid subscriptions start at 51 dollars per month for up to 20 users. They add features including audio and video calls, AI search across the workspace and the conversion of messages into tasks.

Zenzap also offers automation agents and transcriptions of voice notes and calls, with credit-based pricing. The service’s economic value will therefore depend on the range of features actually used: the subscription and consumption of these features need to be considered together. The funding gives the company resources, but demonstrates neither the quality of its agents nor its ability to replace tools already in use.
