Duvo.ai is a software company specializing in AI-native automation platforms, primarily serving the retail, e-commerce, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industries.[2][3][4]
The company develops autonomous AI agents intended to manage repetitive operational workflows across fragmented enterprise systems.[5] Duvo aims to reduce manual work in core retail tasks and processes by approximately 40%.[5][6]
History
Duvo was co-founded by Czech serial entrepreneur Tomáš Čupr, who is also the founder and CEO of the European online grocer Rohlik Group (a unicorn company).[1][4] The other co-founders are Marek Paris (Chief Product and Technology Officer, CPTO) and Martin Pecha (Chief Operating Officer, COO), both of whom held senior operational roles at Rohlik.[5][4]
The company's genesis stemmed from the founders' experience with operational problems in retail, such as the need for people to manually move data between fragmented systems like SAP, supplier portals, email, and spreadsheets.[4] Čupr noted that Duvo was created to eliminate operational bottlenecks that traditional IT automation or consulting projects often fail to handle due to their complexity and exception-heavy nature.[5] The goal was to deploy an AI workforce that would allow employees to focus on more demanding tasks than monotonous digital and phone-based tasks.
Funding
In 2025, Duvo raised $15 million in a seed funding round.[2][3][4][7][8]
The funding round was led by Index Ventures (with partner Jan Hammer leading the investment),[5] with participation from Credo Ventures, Northzone, and Puzzle Ventures.[4] Notable angel investors included Roy Reznik (co-founder of Wiz), David Singleton (former CTO of Stripe), Ajay Kavan (Amazon veteran), and Kieran Flanagan (former CMO of Zapier, Zapier).[4]
Products and technology
Duvo's platform is categorized as an AI agent or AI-native automation platform.[5] Unlike traditional Robotic process automation tools which often mimic clicks or rely on scripts, Duvo's agents are designed for autonomous execution of end-to-end tasks, prioritizing outcomes over scripts.
Key features
Duvo agents function as an AI workforce capable of acting within a retailer's existing systems.
- Business User Focus: The platform is designed for non-technical users in commercial, supply chain, and finance teams.[5] Users describe the required processes in simple English or natural language.[9]
- Cross-System Integration: Agents move through fragmented systems, including platforms like SAP applications, supplier portals, email, and spreadsheets, often without requiring complex APIs.[5]
- Native Phone and Voice Capability: Agents can place phone calls to suppliers, carriers, or stores, follow governed scripts, capture outcomes, and update systems, leaving only exceptions to humans.[6]
- Adaptive Process Intelligence: Agents possess a self-learning feature to continuously improve.[10]
- Human-in-the-Loop Collaboration: Agents draft proposed changes and prepare approval requests, where human judgment is necessary.[11]
