OAIZ raises $2.31M pre-seed to make AI agents businesses can trust
What's the deal? OAIZDealroom has a profile for this one.

Try Dealroom →, plus a group of angel investors.
What's the endgame? OAIZ lets users describe tasks in natural language, then connects business tools to carry them out and build repeatable workflows — reading pull requests, updating CRM systems, generating customer emails, and syncing data across platforms. It plans a full launch later this year.
Why now? The founders, who met while witnessing the LLM revolution at a large international firm, argue that companies don't trust AI agents enough to hand them important work. Anyone can build an agent today, but making one reliable, secure, and compliant enough to deploy is harder. That gap is the one OAIZ aims to fill, taking on players such as n8n and Replit.
Early traction: OAIZ already has customers, with workflows running at its home municipality, Malmö stad. "It feels good to help deliver higher-quality public services at a lower cost and contribute to our society and the common good," wrote co-founder Daniel Wisenhoff.
What could go wrong? OAIZ's pitch leans on trust as positioning. Its significance will depend on whether it can show its safeguards solve a concrete business problem, rather than relying on trust as a broad claim.
The signal: European investment is increasingly targeting the controls needed to make enterprise AI agents usable — London-based AI ScoreDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom → raised €4.6 million in seed funding for managing agents, and Neo launched with $100 million. At $2.31 million, OAIZ's round sits in the lower tier by size, a modest but timely bet on trusted automation.
