This weekly update shows how AI agent technology is becoming one of the most important areas for startups right now. An AI agent is like a robot that can make decisions and do complicated tasks without a person telling it exactly what to do each time. This week, many startups received funding and made announcements about this exciting technology.

Big Investment in Lyzr Shows Banks and Insurance Companies Want AI Agents

On October 29, 2025, a giant company called Accenture announced it is investing in a startup called Lyzr. Lyzr comes from Jersey City in the United States and has created a platform called Agent Studio. This platform makes it easy for companies to build their own AI agents without needing to write complicated computer code.

What can these AI agents do? Banks can use them to automatically approve loans faster and help customers sign up faster. Insurance companies can use them to answer customer questions, process insurance claims, and renew policies automatically. The big idea is that these AI agents can handle routine work that currently takes humans a long time to do. This means companies can serve customers faster and employees can focus on more important work.

Accenture also said that Lyzr will join their special Project Spotlight program. This program helps new AI companies grow by giving them access to Accenture's experience and their customers around the world. This is a big opportunity for Lyzr to become a larger company.

The Prompting Company Helps Products Show Up in AI Recommendations

Another interesting startup announcement happened on October 30. A company called The Prompting Company raised $6.5 million from investors.

This startup solves a brand new problem. Before, when people wanted to buy something, they used Google to search for it. Now, more and more people ask AI chatbots like ChatGPT to suggest products instead. The Prompting Company helps businesses make sure their products get recommended by these AI assistants.

The company uses something called GEO (generative engine optimization). This is similar to the old SEO (search engine optimization) that helped websites show up on Google, but it's designed for how AI agents search the internet.

Right now, many Fortune 10 companies (the biggest companies in the world) are already using this technology. One customer is already getting tens of millions of visits to their website each month from AI recommendations. This shows that helping AI agents discover products is becoming very important for businesses.

Healthcare Startups Use AI Agents to Help Doctors and Hospitals

In the healthcare industry, October was a busy month for AI startup news. A company called Autonomize AI announced their new Autonomize AI Studio on October 16. This tool helps hospitals design workflows where AI agents work alongside doctors and nurses to do routine tasks.

Another healthcare startup called Brook.ai raised $28 million in funding on October 16. This company helps hospitals monitor patients from home using AI. By using AI agents, they can watch many more patients and catch problems earlier.

These healthcare AI startups are important because hospitals are very busy and often don't have enough staff. AI agents can help by doing routine work, which means doctors and nurses can spend more time with patients who really need them.

More AI Agent Investment Around the World

In other parts of the world, startups are also building agentic AI technology. In Israel, a country known for creating tech startups, many companies are working on AI agents. These Israeli startups received over $600 million in funding during October from investors around the world.

Many of these Israeli companies are building infrastructure - the foundation that other companies need to create and run AI agents. Some are building agents that can do real work on the internet without needing special connections. Others are using real-time video and natural language to control business operations.

What This Means

All of this news shows that AI agents are moving from experiments to real business use. Companies in banking, insurance, healthcare, shopping, and manufacturing are all discovering that AI agents can help them work faster and serve customers better. Startups are building the tools and platforms that make this possible, and investors are putting huge amounts of money into these companies because they believe this is the future of work.
