SleekFlow, a social commerce platform, has raised $7 million in funding to expand its conversational AI suite and penetrate deeper into Asian, Middle Eastern, and European markets. Social commerce, which is growing faster than traditional e-commerce, is expected to reach $894 million in the Asia Pacific region by 2028. Conversational AI is a key component of social commerce, allowing sellers to scale their customer service and gain insights through analytics. The industry is projected to reach $49.9 billion by 2030. SleekFlow faces competition from other conversational AI companies such as MessageBird, Respond.io, and Gupshup.
