Uvi's $7.5M Seed Bet: AI Agents That Know Your Business Before Day One

Every time an AI agent is deployed in a new business, it starts from zero -- learning tools, processes, and workflows from scratch. That repeated relearning drives up token costs fast. Uvi is building a fix.

The startup, officially Naboo Research Ltd., raised $7.5M in seed funding led by CT Innovations, with Cardumen, Mana VC, and 91 Ventures also participating. Its product is a "context reasoning layer" built on a knowledge graph that links business tools -- Slack, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, code repositories, and meeting transcripts -- into persistent memory agents can draw on without relearning.

Key Takeaways:

• Without Uvi, agents cost $0.75-$1.41 per response. With it, average costs drop to 10-16 cents. For open-ended queries, the company claims a 46x cost reduction and twice the speed.
• Uvi's access-control model preserves existing permission structures, so agents only see what they're authorized to see.
• Named customers include Monday.com, Lemonade, and Melio.
