About fonio.ai
fonio.ai is a Vienna AI telephony company founded in autumn 2024 by Daniel Keinrath (CEO; previously GetNano) and Matthias Gruber that lets SMEs deploy a customised AI phone assistant in minutes—without coding—to answer calls 24/7, schedule appointments, take orders, transcribe conversations and route to humans when needed, with CRM integrations and a pay-per-minute model. The platform targets the DACH market with natural speech in European languages and reported acquiring over 1,700 customers in its first ten months. In December 2025 fonio.ai secured €3 million in angel funding to fuel European expansion and product development. Sources: company; Startup.eu Sep 2026 ARR coverage.
