Tekst
AI-powered automation of enterprise text-based workflows
About Tekst
Tekst is a Belgian startup that provides an AI-driven platform for automating text-based business processes. Founded in Ghent in 2022 by CEO Wouter Janssen and CTO Tiebe Parmentier, the company aims to help large enterprises manage and automate high volumes of unstructured text from emails, tickets, orders, and cases. The founders created Tekst after experiencing firsthand the operational challenge of employees acting as “the expensive glue between Outlook, SAP, and Salesforce.”
Read full description
The company's core technology uses custom-trained AI models to interpret unstructured text and convert it into usable data, going beyond the capabilities of generic Large Language Models. Tekst's platform combines Process Intelligence with Agentic Automation. It first maps existing workflows by connecting to a company's current systems—such as CRMs, ERPs, and inboxes—to analyze how communication and processes flow in real-time. This allows it to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for automation. Then, its AI agents execute entire workflows end-to-end, handling tasks like routing requests, processing orders, and updating cases automatically. The system operates in the background, integrating with tools like Salesforce, SAP, Zendesk, and Microsoft Dynamics without requiring employees to learn a new interface. The AI is designed to continuously learn from interactions to improve its performance.
Tekst serves enterprise clients in industries such as technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and e-commerce, helping them automate areas like customer support, sales inquiries, and IT operations. The platform features include automatic detection of topic, sentiment, and language, as well as intelligent routing and analytics. The company emphasizes security and compliance, being ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and it does not store client data. In May 2024, Tekst announced it had raised €700,000 in a seed round led by Entourage, a venture fund started by Pieterjan Bouten, a co-founder of Showpad. This funding is intended to support the company's further development and commercial expansion across Europe. Notable customers include the medical technology company Becton Dickinson, dairy cooperative Milcobel, and HR services provider Securex.
