Webio

What Webio does

Webio is a Dublin-based conversational AI company founded in 2016 to automate customer engagement for credit, collections and payments workflows. The platform, now marketed as Aryza Engage following the May 2025 acquisition by Aryza Holdings Limited, combines AI-driven voice automation, digital messaging across SMS, WhatsApp, Viber, webchat, email and Messenger, and customer-facing self-service into a single deployment. Its technical core is the Custom Collections Language Model (CCLM), a domain-specific language model trained on regulated credit-and-collections conversations, paired with Propensity Guidance predictive analytics, AI Quality Assurance covering 100% of interactions for compliance, and an AI Co-Pilot for live agents.

The platform is cloud-native on AWS with an API-first architecture supporting real-time data integration, conversational payments through PSP connectors, and multi-channel orchestration. Differentiated features include a no-code Self-Service Studio, vulnerability detection at reported 86% accuracy, and outcomes such as 75% conversation automation, 13% uplift in payments received, and up to 90% reduction in agent handling time. Webio sells primarily to enterprise and mid-market clients in financial services, debt collection, utilities and online retail through direct enterprise field sales supplemented by inside-sales demo flows, on multi-year SaaS contracts.

Since its acquisition by Aryza in May 2025, Webio operates as the AI layer within Aryza's Credit, Collection and Recovery Suites, distributed across 20+ countries to a combined base of 1,650+ clients, and is backed by Pollen Street Capital and Macquarie Capital at the parent level. Prior to the acquisition, Webio had raised approximately $7.9 million across seed, pre-seed and Series A rounds led by Finch Capital, Salica and Enterprise Ireland.
