Knowledge Work Co., Ltd. has launched the Sales AI Agent OS, a platform for building sales AI agents. The company also raised 3.5 billion yen in the first close of its Series C round through a third-party allotment of shares. The funding will support strategic partnerships with leading companies across industries.
The Sales AI Agent OS is structured as four layers: an Ontology Layer that links company-specific sales data, a Strategy Layer that inputs sales strategies, an AI Agent Layer for implementation and management, and an Interface Layer for user interaction. Knowledge Work positions this as a response to data showing 95% of generative AI implementations fail to deliver ROI, arguing that vertical, department-specific AI agents will outperform horizontal tools like employee copilots.
The company will offer its existing Sales AX Consulting Series and Sales AI Product Series on top of the new platform. The Series C first close, via third-party allotment, is intended to accelerate partnerships that combine each partner's customer base and solutions with Knowledge Work's AI and sales enablement expertise.
