Elora

What Elora does

Elora is a Luxembourg-based AI communication startup founded in 2023 that provides 24/7 AI-powered phone receptionists and website chat agents for European SMEs. Its platform comprises two products: an AI Call Agent that answers and routes voice calls with calendar booking and call summaries, and an AI Chat Agent embedded on websites for real-time visitor engagement and lead capture. The technology stack combines generative AI, speech recognition and synthesis, intent recognition, and a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) layer that ingests each customer's own documents (PDF, CSV, text) to produce responses grounded in company-specific data. The platform supports real-time language switching across French, German, English, and Luxembourgish (with 15+ languages cited) and runs on Azure/GCP cloud infrastructure with Twilio telephony integrations.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market with a 48-hour onboarding promise, supported by content marketing, industry-specific landing pages, and a Discovery Call funnel. Pricing is subscription-based across three tiers — Starter at €199.99/month (~100 calls), Business at €499.99/month (~300 calls with CRM and smart routing), and Enterprise (custom pricing, SLA, API access) — plus a €300-per-package add-on for integration and knowledge-base maintenance. Elora targets SMEs with 100+ employees across multiple verticals including construction, logistics, hospitality, automotive, real estate, retail, facilities, and manufacturing, with case studies claiming 40–45% increases in answered call rates. GDPR compliance, EU-hosted data, and audit-ready call logs are positioned as central to the value proposition for European customers.

Elora operates with a 12-person team led by co-founders Reyhaneh Niknejad (COO) and Matthieu Detaille (CEO). The company raised €1.7 million in pre-seed funding in November 2025 from public funding sources and business angels, won the fifteenth edition of Luxembourg's Fit4start incubator programme, and was selected as a Startup World Cup finalist representing Luxembourg. Its near-term focus is Benelux scaling via a dedicated sales hire and ecosystem partnerships with Luxinnovation and House of Startups, with a stated long-term ambition to become the largest AI telephone agent in Europe.
