The Romanian startup Assista AI, which develops an artificial intelligence agent solution connected to over 100 applications for task automation, has received an investment of 100,000 euros, according to startupcafe.ro.

The funds come from 8 investors from the Slovak-Czech Gluon Syndicate community, according to Startup Kitchen.

The startup wants to introduce in the future its DeepResearch agent, a RAG system, i.e. a retrieval mechanism that allows the AI model to access external databases or documents in real time, and a “Digital Twin” function, which will copy the user’s behavior.

“This investment from Gluon Syndicate is a significant milestone for Assista AI. It not only validates our vision to transform task automation through AI agents, but also provides the resources needed to accelerate our growth,” said Paul Burcă, CEO of Assista AI.

Patrik Janusek, one of the Founding Partners of Gluon Syndicate, also stated that the decision to invest was driven primarily by the strength and adaptability of the founding team: “When evaluating startups, the founder’s resilience and adaptability are paramount. While technology and business models may evolve, a founder’s unwavering commitment and enthusiasm are crucial for navigating the challenges of a startup journey. In Paul and Anton, we see a team that embodies these qualities, making Assista AI a compelling investment.” This second investment reinforces Gluon Syndicate’s mission to mobilize angel capital efficiently, proving that syndicated investing is a scalable and impactful model for early-stage funding.

“Our initial investments validate our approach to angel syndication. We are capable of supporting both domestic and international startups through flexible investment structures. With our second pitch event concluded, we anticipate announcing new investments soon,” added Alex Janusek, another Founding Partner of Gluon Syndicate.

Assista AI was founded in 2023 by Paul Burcă and Anton Zaharia. The startup offers AI agents that connect to over 100 productivity apps, allowing users to automate complex workflows using simple natural language commands.
