  "account": "Uruguayan Chilean startup Roma AI has successfully raised $1.2 million in seed funding. The investment was led by Invexor Venture Partners. Roma AI's co-founders are Richard Barbera, Javier Hernández, and Benjamín De Oto. The company offers a platform that enables businesses to construct and manage AI agents capable of interfacing with various internal systems, such as payment platforms, calendars, catalogs, and proprietary software. The platform ensures that sensitive data remains within each client's infrastructure. Additionally, it provides companies with the ability to oversee and audit the activities of these agents. Roma AI intends to utilize 55% of the funding to grow its workforce, increasing the headcount from the current 9 employees to 30 over the next six months. This expansion will see new hires joining the team in Uruguay. The remaining 33% of the funding will be allocated towards marketing and events, while the remaining 12% will be dedicated to technology and infrastructure development. The startup currently collaborates with over 50 companies across Latin America, processing an impressive 500,000 messages monthly. Roma AI's subscription plans begin at $99 per month, granting users access to up to 500 conversations.",
