Noxus is the first scalable, enterprise-grade platform that lets large enterprises rapidly deploy AI across their organisations, and empower every employee, without having to build from scratch. With Noxus’ AI operating system, enterprises can easily and securely build teams of AI co-workers to handle repetitive tasks and complex workflows. These AI colleagues work alongside, and under the guidance of humans, to help businesses scale their teams 10x, save hundreds of hours, and take advantage of AI’s potential today, not tomorrow.

Founded by CEO João Pedro Almeida, CTO Jorge Pessoa and engineers Gonçalo Ferreira and Miguel Ribeiro, Noxus’ mission is to bridge the gap between powerful AI models and the people using them. By equipping enterprises with full-stack AI tools, it is building a future-proof ecosystem that can evolve and scale with the needs of next-generation enterprises. From adapting to rapid changes in AI to democratising agentification for firms that don’t have AI at their core but want to remain competitive, and in control, in such a fast-moving landscape.

João Pedro, Co-Founder and CEO of Noxus, said: “While industry frontrunners like Klarna have embraced AI ‘co-workers’ to supercharge efficiency, productivity, and even raise overall compensation, the vast majority of European businesses – particularly the 99% that don’t consider themselves tech companies – continue to struggle with tapping into the transformative potential of AI-driven workforces.

“At Noxus, we see this disparity not as a roadblock but as an opportunity: our AI operating system empowers organisations to seamlessly integrate advanced AI models into their day-to-day operations – no need for massive budgets or specialised in-house AI expertise. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge innovation and traditional sectors, we aim to spark the next workplace revolution, enabling every enterprise to expand its team with AI co-workers and unlock transformative productivity gains. Ultimately, our mission is to help close Europe’s productivity gap so organisations of all shapes and sizes can thrive in an increasingly competitive global landscape.”

Smarter not harder

By letting AI co-workers handle the most repetitive, manual tasks – from dispute resolutions, to claim processing, CV screenings and more – Noxus frees teams up to focus on what truly matters, while helping enterprises close Europe’s growing productivity gap. Workers across Europe waste nearly two days a week on tasks that could be automated, costing £271.6 billion annually. Yet despite AI’s potential to close the gap, Europe’s biggest companies are struggling to integrate the technology, due to the sheer scale of processes, a lack of in-house skills, security, and compliance fears, and not knowing where to start. As a result, European companies are losing time, money, and competitive ground, especially compared to the US, where AI adoption and productivity gains are accelerating.

Enterprise autonomy

All Noxus AI co-workers have full data regency because they’re fully deployed on the client’s infrastructure. This gives enterprises an unprecedented level of security, oversight, and compliance and allows them to harness AI’s potential without ever losing ownership of their adoption journey, or having to rely on multiple AI integrations that can’t handle the complex nature of their enterprise processes. 

This combination of easy-to-use tools and deep support has seen Noxus secure six-figure enterprise contracts across healthcare, finance, and FMCG sectors in just six months of launching. Of these contracts, one leading healthcare provider in Europe has saved 700 hours a month with Noxus AI-Coworkers by automating a large part of its customer complaints and prescription analysis functions. Onboarding new healthcare clinics without the need to expand teams. A global accounting group has seen a 50% reduction in client churn after it used Noxus to automate predictive financial health monitoring, and a law firm that has deployed Noxus AI co-workers has seen a 10x speed increase in accessing knowledge.

Noxus was also recently selected for the Google Growth Program in the UK, further underscoring its potential as a leader in AI innovation. The $1.5 million pre-seed funding will help Noxus improve the platform’s capabilities further, reach new enterprise clients and expand its business operations. 

Vegard Medbo, COO at Antler, said: “Noxus is addressing a crucial challenge for large enterprises: implementing AI in production to achieve meaningful productivity gains without the usual complexity or risks. As organisations worldwide explore how to build their AI workforce and capitalise on this next wave of innovation, Noxus takes a unique approach. They’ve developed a horizontal platform designed to democratise AI adoption for legacy companies, empowering them to compete and thrive in a rapidly evolving landscape. We’re proud to back João, Jorge, and their team as they enable organisations to seamlessly integrate AI into their operations and unlock its transformative potential.”
