Teammates.ai Unveils AI Workforce Platform to Revolutionize Business Operations with Autonomous AI Agents

After a successful round of funding, Teammates.ai launches a category-defining platform that drastically transforms the way businesses operate. Previously known as Uktob.ai, the rebranded platform builds on its experience in artificial intelligence (AI) agents, enabling businesses to use AI to take on entire job functions through Autonomous AI Teammates.

This announcement marks a significant milestone for the company. The rebranding to Teammates.ai coincides with a strategic shift to provide enterprise-grade AI solutions and an expanding collection of Teammates. The first Teammate, Raya, was launched in 2024, focusing on customer service. Its capabilities include voice calling, inbox management, and seamless software integration allowing it to effectively support every function of the role.

Alongside Raya, the company is launching its second Teammate, specialized in Inside Sales. With superior language competencies and an Arabic user interface, every Teammate has leading AI capabilities that allow them to speak and understand over 50 languages, including every dialect of the Arabic language; a first for the MENA region.

Rebranding to Teammates.ai marks a defining moment in our journey to transform how businesses leverage AI. Raya and our newly launched Sales Teammate are just the beginning of a broader AI Workforce designed to work alongside human teams. We’ve already seen how this approach cuts costs, amplifies productivity, and empowers employees to focus on higher-impact challenges. This is only the beginning—each new AI Teammate pushes the boundaries of what’s possible for modern enterprises.

– Kareem Ayyad, Founder and CEO, Teammates.ai

2025 is the year of AI Agents, and Teammates is making work easier for people to become more efficient in their jobs. We’re super excited for their launch!

Prior to its rebranding, Teammates.ai has built a successful track record by partnering with five leading governmental entities in the GCC. Notably, the company delivered the world’s largest Prompt Engineering Championship in collaboration with the Dubai Future Foundation, the Artificial Intelligence Office, and the Ministry of Cabinet Affairs further demonstrating its leading role in the AI space. It was selected as one of the Future100 companies in the UAE by the Ministry of Economy. In addition, its previous AI assistant, Faheem, organically scaled within a few months, with over 400,000 users. These achievements helped the company attract funding from top tier global venture capital investors including Silicon Valley’s Hustle Fund, Access Bridge Ventures, Oraseya Capital, Beyond Capital, as well as notable angel investors from across the globe.
