Autonomous AI customer service for trades businesses (formerly Elyos Energy)
About Elyos AI
Elyos AI is a London Y Combinator-backed company founded in 2023 by Adrian Johnston, Philippa Brown and Panos Stravopodis that builds autonomous AI customer-service agents for trades and field-service businesses such as plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Its 24/7 agents answer inbound calls, book and reschedule jobs, send quote reminders, qualify leads and dispatch engineers while integrating with industry CRM and job-management systems so firms capture missed revenue without adding front-office headcount. Brown previously ran large field-engineer operations at OVO Energy; Stravopodis held VP Engineering roles at Bulb and Zoa; Johnston is a second-time founder with BCG call-centre optimisation experience. After a $3 million seed in October 2023, Elyos raised a $13 million Series A in January 2026 led by Blackbird Ventures with Y Combinator participating, bringing total funding to about $16 million to expand engineering, deepen CRM integrations and prepare international expansion.
