AI-powered concierge service startup Laiye secures Series B for enterprise services, & more

AI-powered concierge service startup, Laiye, received tens of millions of USD for Series B on December 21 to promote its enterprise concierge service, wul.ai. Laiye is an AI-powered concierge service startup that provides enterprise customers with AI-oriented concierge service solutions, and provides individual users with a variety of services including smart calendars, ride hailing, business travel, express delivery, etc. Laiye takes the form of both a service account inside the WeChat messaging app and an individual app for individual users. Its app looks a bit like a messaging app. Once users make specific requests by speaking or texting, such as "get me a coffee" or "book me a flight", then the app will connect to other services to fulfill users' demands. Meanwhile, users can also realize their demands through Laiye's WeChat Official Account, which is like chatting with a person.
