Pine, an AI agent for consumers’ digital chores, has closed a $25 million Series A funding round. Investors included Fortwest Capital. This financing positions Pine to advance its “ask-and-it’s-done” AI, an autonomous digital agent that makes calls, handles emails and operates software to complete real-world tasks.
“AI chatbots just answer questions, but Pine actually gets things done,” said CEO Stanley Wei. “Our revolutionary approach gives consumers back hours of their lives with AI they can trust, and our Series A provides new support to scale Pine, the solution consumers have been waiting for.”
Consumers are using Pine to:
- Lower bills by negotiating better rates with their cable, internet and mobile providers;
- Cancel subscriptions to their streaming, apps and membership services;
- File complaints and push for refunds and resolutions;
- Get refunds for bad experiences or unauthorized charges; and
- Handle personal communications such as attending meetings, booking appointments, sending notifications and more.
Achieving a reported 93% negotiation success rate, the company said it has saved consumers more than $3 million on their bills from such service providers as AT&T, Charter, Cox, DISH, T-Mobile, Verizon and others. Consumers also save 270 minutes on average on their digital chores.
“Pine’s AI agent, which I use at least three times a week, has saved me more than $1,000 by automating calls,” said Deedy Das, a tech investor and Pine customer. “I have leveraged the power to find cheaper car insurance, get discounts on subscriptions, negotiate home services, fix billing issues and take care of visa tasks. The Pine AI agent just asks for any information it needs and gets the job done.”
The Series A will enable Pine to accelerate its agent framework to learn from every task, and enhance its reliability and privacy-first infrastructure. The company will also use the funds to expand its go-to-market effort, scaling U.S. operations, growing its channels and broadening its use cases.
“Pine’s latest round marks a pivotal step in how consumers will engage with AI agents,” Fortwest Capital founding partner Ray Chua said. “(It) isn’t merely enabling people to offload daily tasks. It is building a distributed memory system where every agent retains context, learns from each interaction and incorporates edge cases encountered across all users.
“This collective memory architecture means every solved task instantly improves the entire agent network, driving compounding gains in accuracy, speed and reliability. As these agents operate in machine time and accumulate shared experience, they convert what used to be human effort into reclaimed, higher-quality human time.”
