Raygun's AI agent platform Autohive launches in ANZ

Autohive, a spinoff from software performance monitoring company Raygun, has launched in Australia and New Zealand.

The platform utilises AI agent technology to assist small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in automating routine tasks, claiming to enhance productivity and collaboration.

AI agents developed via the platform can be shared or distributed to customers, offering a possible new revenue stream for SMBs.

Potential use cases touted by the company include transforming raw content into social posts, blog articles, and marketing materials in minutes; handling customer inquiries 24/7 with smart response systems; creating personalised follow-ups based on customer history; converting spreadsheet data into clear action items; and generating client proposals and reports in minutes instead of days. 

Autohive CEO John-Daniel Trask said while AI agents are “hugely valuable” to Raygun, the company saw a significant opportunity in making the creation, discovery, and execution of AI agents something that every business could leverage, not just IT-centric, enterprise-level organisations.

"Autohive's technology has been years in the making, and we truly believe we are bringing a platform to the market that can make a significant difference for businesses across Australia and New Zealand,” he said.

“This is reflected in the preliminary conversations we have been having with prospective customers and partners, both locally and in the U.S., who are particularly excited about the extent to which Autohive fosters collaboration between AI agents and team members, and its ability to help businesses scale immediately with the existing infrastructure and resources they have in place.

“There's no complex setup – just plug in and start automating."

Autohive's leadership team is made up of Wellington-based Trask; U.S-based COO Lana Vaughan; and Wellington-based VP of marketing, Zheng Li. The company currently has a team of over 20 engineers and sales staff.
