Elyos AI, the AI platform for the trades and field services industry, has raised £10 million in a Series A led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs. The funding will be used to accelerate product development and international expansion.
Elyos AI helps trades businesses, including plumbers, electricians, HVAC and facilities operators, automate customer communications, booking, dispatch, and follow-ups using AI agents that integrate directly with industry-standard systems. Its agents handle inbound calls, outbound follow-ups, missed calls, and email workflows, allowing businesses to capture more jobs while reducing operational overhead.
The business was founded in 2023 as part of the Y Combinator programme and has seen rapid adoption. Customers report higher booking rates, faster response times, and significant reductions in missed calls after deploying Elyos AI’s agents.
The new capital will be used to expand Elyos AI’s engineering and go-to-market teams, deepen integrations with leading field-service CRMs, and launch new AI agent capabilities across voice, email, and messaging. Elyos AI plans to expand internationally in 2026 as demand for automation in the trades continues to accelerate.
Trades businesses are overwhelmed by calls, emails, and admin - and that friction directly costs them revenue. We’re building AI agents that work like effective front-office staff: answering every call, booking every job, and integrating deeply into the systems trades already use.
Adrian Johnston, Co-founder
Before using Elyos, one of the biggest issues was the number of calls that were coming through. Elyos AI agents now handle 30% of technical calls with no human intervention. We’re now in a situation where we can’t imagine not working with Elyos.
Tejas Mehta, Managing Director of Amax
Elyos is going after a massive vertical market, and their deep understanding of trades businesses is evident in how well their voice agents perform in the real world. Their growing traction and genuine customer love are powerful signals of product quality and the speed of the product and engineering team. We think Elyos is well positioned to define the AI category for field services and trades.
James Palmer, Investor at Blackbird Ventures
Trade services is a multi-billion-dollar industry underpinning how the built world functions, yet it has long been underserved by modern software. Elyos AI agents are helping trade businesses capture more revenue, improve customer experience and increase margins with a leaner operations team.
