Felo.ai, registered as Felo Inc. in Japan, is a Tokyo-based startup established in 2024. The company is focused on developing artificial intelligence solutions to enhance information access and management. In July 2025, Felo.ai secured $10.2 million in a Series A funding round led by Peak XV Partners and Mirae Asset Venture Investments, which will help accelerate its expansion in the Asian market.
The core business of Felo.ai revolves around its AI-powered search engine, designed to provide intelligent search and office automation solutions. The company targets a diverse user base, including business professionals, academic researchers, students, and general users seeking efficient information retrieval.

Felo.ai offers a suite of products including Felo AI Search, Felo Translator, and Glarity. The main product, Felo AI Search, functions as a conversational search engine that processes natural language queries to deliver direct, accurate answers with citations from web sources. A key feature is its multilingual capability, which allows users to search in their native language and receive translated, context-aware results from global sources, including a database of over 245 million academic papers. The platform also provides knowledge management tools, such as the ability to create mind maps and automatically generate presentations. For business clients, Felo offers a 'Business Model Analysis Report' feature that analyzes a company's history, target customers, and competitive landscape. Another distinct product is the Felo Translator, a real-time voice translation and transcription tool that leverages AI for high accuracy and speed, supporting numerous languages for seamless communication.
