Australian early-stage company Zeligate has launched AI workforce Zelis on the heels of finalising a smaller A$2.5 million second seed round ahead of a planned Series A in early 2025.
The company previously secured A$3 million in seed funding from investors.
There are two types of Zelis: a hiring assistant and a personal assistant. At the end of the year, Zeligate will add the customer service assistant.
Requiring no up-front development costs or technical skills, the “out-of-the-box” Zelis provide organisations a team of AI workers that automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and work without breaks.

Zeligate provides multi-tasking capabilities beyond simple query-based systems with each Zeli accessible through a browser with minimal onboarding costs, priced only at A$12/month.
Built using the combined strengths of all the large language models, including the latest ChatGPT-4o model, each Zeli will adapt to specific user needs, workflows, and business knowledge over time, ensuring ongoing improvement and reduced bias.
Importantly, Zeligate’s AI Workforce is secured using industry standards, which ensures individual business data stays with the organisation.
According to the company’s founder and CEO Denver Naidoo, Zelis are trained in traditional job roles with real multitasking capabilities and can be deployed in minutes.
“The Zeligate AI Workforce introduces a new paradigm in advanced AI technology and instantly elevates workplace efficiency and productivity,” he said.
“We provide the fastest, cheapest, and easiest way to bring the benefits of AI into any business,” Naidoo claimed.
“Unlike ChatGPT or Perplexity, which provide input-based answers, or ‘wrappers and bots’ that only handle single tasks, Zelis perform entire tasks like interviewing candidates, taking notes, summarising conversations or signing on new customers,” he differentiated.
According to Atlassian’s State of Teams Report 2024, 63% of knowledge workers and 79% of executives acknowledge the importance of AI, but many struggle to understand how to integrate it into their daily tasks.
“We’re addressing the key challenge highlighted by Atlassian’s research by eliminating the pain point of implementing AI,” continues Naidoo.
“With Zelis, organisations have an AI workforce in critical areas of the business and can immediately enjoy its productivity gains without having to invest tens of thousands of dollars in people and technology.
“From the moment a Zeli is deployed, employees cut time-consuming tasks so they can focus their efforts on more important work,” adds Naidoo.
“As large enterprises continue to invest heavily in AI, it can be expensive and take time to implement. Instead, we provide a far more affordable advanced genAI solution and drastically reduce the number of individual applications and monthly subscriptions businesses may currently be spending thousands on.”
“When working with Zeli, employees can use voice-to-text or text-to-task, learning from each interaction to complete tasks easily, capable of processing vast amounts of data, identifying patterns, and providing actionable insights.”
To help organisations harness the benefits of its AI Workforce, Zeligate will provide customers with short courses via its Zeli AI Business Academy.
“The Zeligate AI Workforce will enable people to simply delegate their routine administrative tasks to a team of smart Zeli AI assistants,” said Naidoo.
Zeligate's Artificial Reality Engine (ZARE) is a proprietary system that orchestrates more than 100 services and technologies, creating a seamless AI experience. The Modular Architecture allows for rapid creation, training, and deployment of AI assistants across various business functions.
