- 95% of AI pilots fail. Maisa AI just raised $25M to deliver accountable AI agents that enterprises can trust.
- Maisa AI launches Maisa Studio with $25M funding, tackling hallucinations and powering enterprise automation.
- Backed by Creandum, Maisa AI is redefining enterprise automation with transparent, accountable AI agents.
A new report from MIT’s NANDA initiative revealed that 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing, leaving enterprises searching for more reliable solutions. Enter Maisa AI, a Valencia and San Francisco-based startup that believes the future of automation lies not in black-box models, but in accountable, agentic AI systems designed for transparency and trust.
Backed by a fresh $25 million seed round led by Creandum, Maisa AI has launched Maisa Studio, a self-serve platform that lets businesses train digital workers using natural language instructions.
From AI Hallucinations to Chain-of-Work
Maisa’s vision is rooted in solving one of AI’s biggest flaws: hallucinations. Instead of directly generating answers, Maisa’s AI agents design processes—called “chain-of-work”—to achieve outcomes step by step. This method, developed by co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer Manuel Romero, aims to ensure accountability at every stage.
To further boost reliability, Maisa uses HALP (Human-Augmented LLM Processing), where users supervise the agent’s plan before execution, and its proprietary Knowledge Processing Unit (KPU), a deterministic system built to minimize hallucinations.
Targeting High-Stakes Enterprise Use Cases
Maisa is already serving enterprise clients across banking, automotive, and energy, positioning itself as a next-generation alternative to rigid robotic process automation (RPA). Companies can deploy Maisa Studio either via the startup’s secure cloud or on-premise, catering to regulated industries where security and auditability are critical.
While consumer-facing AI platforms focus on mass adoption, Maisa is doubling down on complex, enterprise-first use cases. Its customer funnel is growing, especially as businesses seek AI that scales without compromising trust.
Funding to Fuel Global Expansion
The new funding follows a $5 million pre-seed round led by NFX and Village Global in late 2024. U.S. firm Forgepoint Capital, through a joint venture with Banco Santander, also joined this latest round, underscoring Maisa’s relevance for highly regulated sectors.
