About Aksel.ai

  • Founded by Joosep Kõljalg, Kristofer Kurvits and Tim Jaanson, skel.ai is a platform that enables SaaS companies to integrate intuitive automation into their products. 

  • The platform allows customers to create, manage and execute automations within familiar online tools, improving the user experience without overburdening engineering teams.

  • Non-technical end users can automate repetitive tasks using natural language. Pilot users of the platform report significant benefits, with task completion times reduced by up to 10 times. 

"At Twilio, we saw how inefficiencies in back-office operations hindered the ability to scale growth. We see a future where anyone, no matter their tech savviness, can use simple, everyday language to create AI agents that handle their repetitive tasks—doing them faster, more accurately, and around the clock," commented Joosep Kõljalg, former Twilio engineering director and founder of Askel.ai.
