Elyos AI has raised £9.6 million in Series A funding as it looks to scale its AI agents for the trades and field services industry.

The London-based startup, founded in 2023 through Y Combinator, offers tools designed to automate customer communications, bookings, dispatch and follow-ups for businesses including plumbers, electricians and HVAC providers.

The round was led by Blackbird Ventures, with participation from Y Combinator and Pi Labs, taking Elyos AI’s total funding to £11.9m.

Elyos said the investment will support product development, deeper integrations with field-service CRMs and international expansion plans in 2026.
