About the company

Robylon AI – Agentic Automation for Scalable Customer Support and Business Workflows


Robylon AI is a next-generation agentic AI platform that empowers businesses to automate over 90% of their customer queries and operational workflows across key communication channels; including chat, email, voice, and ticketing; while maintaining 99% accuracy from day one. Designed for scale, speed, and adaptability, Robylon combines the intelligence of large language models with the robustness of human-in-the-loop oversight to deliver enterprise-grade automation without requiring an in-house AI team.


Unlike traditional bots, Robylon operates as an agentic AI worker, meaning it can understand user intent, trigger actions across platforms, adapt to product updates, and continuously learn with minimal intervention. The system is plug-and-play, allowing deployment within minutes and integrations with existing tools and systems. Businesses can automate complex, multi-stage tasks and respond to customers in natural language, across multiple languages, and without scripting every possible input.


One of Robylon’s key differentiators is its transparent pay-per-resolution model. Instead of paying for seats or vague automation tiers, companies only pay for successful outcomes; making ROI instantly measurable and aligning cost with value. With this model, companies typically reduce support costs by 30% or more, while freeing up internal teams from repetitive, low-value tasks.


Key features include:


Agentic AI Workers that mirror human workflows


No-code automation builder for fast task recording and deployment


Multichannel support (chat, email, voice, tickets)


Scheduler and bulk action tools to manage high volumes efficiently


Actionable analytics for continuous optimization


Robylon is ideal for customer support teams, product-led growth companies, operations, HR, and marketing teams looking to scale their services without scaling headcount. As AI becomes central to enterprise growth, Robylon positions itself as a mission-critical tool for forward-thinking teams that want to enhance productivity, improve customer experience, and make intelligent automation a core business advantage.
