Founded in 2023, Zivy is an AI tool for prioritising workplace messages and tasks, designed to help managers and leads stay organised and manage their work more effectively.

By eliminating the constant barrage of notifications, which can drain productivity, Zivy focuses on making managers more productive as a way to build high-performing teams. Its initial release integrates directly with Slack, analysing conversations and tasks to ensure that only the most urgent and relevant information is prioritised, helping managers stay focused and efficient.

“We started Zivy with the belief that the key to building high-performing teams lies in making managers more productive,” said Prashanth YV, cofounder of Zivy.

“We are delighted by the valuable trust that investors have put in our vision. We look forward to building a new way of working for today’s workplaces where people can do their best work without having to burn themselves out,” added Vivek Karna, cofounder of Zivy.
