PUNKU.AI Launches Text-to-Agent Platform and Joins Elite EWOR Fellowship

Platform democratizes AI automation for businesses while founder secures acceptance to prestigious fellowship with 0.1% acceptance rate

Munich, Germany, November 25, 2025, As businesses worldwide struggle to implement AI solutions requiring technical expertise and significant resources, PUNKU.AI emerges with a fundamentally different approach: a no-code platform that turns natural language into working AI automations in minutes. Today, the company announces the public launch of its platform alongside acceptance into EWOR's highly selective founder fellowship, securing initial funding and access to unicorn-level expertise.

Why This Matters Now

The AI automation market faces a critical accessibility gap. While 83% of businesses identify AI as a strategic priority, only 15% have successfully deployed AI automation solutions. The barrier isn't desire, it's complexity. Traditional automation platforms require lo-code/no-code knowledge, lengthy implementation cycles, and dedicated technical teams that most businesses cannot afford.

PUNKU.AI eliminates these barriers entirely. Business owners simply describe what they want automated in plain English "When someone submits a contact form, send confirmation, add to CRM, and notify sales team via Slack" and the platform builds the automation automatically. No coding, no technical setup, no specialists required.

The Problem We're Solving

Modern businesses are drowning in repetitive work: manually transferring data between systems, responding to routine customer inquiries, coordinating team communications across platforms, and managing operational workflows that consume hours of human attention. These aren't high-value tasks, they're necessary friction that prevents teams from focusing on work that actually drives growth.

Existing solutions come in two flavors: enterprise automation platforms requiring six-figure budgets and months of professional services, or basic tools that handle only simple tasks and break the moment complexity increases. Neither serves the 99% of businesses that need sophisticated automation without enterprise overhead.

PUNKU.AI bridges this gap with AI agents that understand business context, connect tools intelligently, and handle exceptions the way humans would, asking for clarification when needed rather than failing silently.

CEO Quote

"The best automation is the one that doesn't require you to become an automation expert," says Daniel Quiroga, Founder and CEO of PUNKU.AI. "We've seen businesses spend months implementing tools they never fully use because the learning curve is too steep. PUNKU.AI flips that model: you describe what you need in the same language you'd use to explain it to a colleague, and the platform handles the technical complexity. That's not incremental improvement, that's a fundamentally different relationship between humans and automation technology."

Market Context

The global AI automation market is projected to reach $35.9 billion by 2028, driven by businesses seeking efficiency gains without proportional headcount increases. However, the majority of this growth concentrates in enterprise segments with dedicated IT departments and large budgets.

PUNKU.AI targets the underserved mid-market: businesses with 10-500 employees that need enterprise-grade automation capabilities without enterprise-grade complexity or cost. This segment represents over 200,000 businesses in Europe alone, with parallel opportunities in North America, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific.

The convergence of technical breakthroughs in LLMs that allow the translation of requirements to workflows, and increasing comfort with AI assistants in creates the perfect timing for PUNKU.AI's approach.

EWOR Fellowship Recognition

PUNKU.AI's acceptance into the EWOR fellowship validates both the market opportunity and execution capability. EWOR accepts just 0.1% of applicants, selecting 35 founders from over 35,000 annual applications based on potential to build billion-dollar companies.

The fellowship provides substantial funding, weekly 1:1 mentorship from founders who've built billion-dollar companies like SumUp, Adjust, and ProGlove, and access to a curated network of 2,000+ investors and subject matter experts.

Forward-Looking Vision

PUNKU.AI's roadmap extends beyond workflow automation into autonomous AI agents that proactively identify optimization opportunities, learn from user feedback, and coordinate across departments without human intervention.

The company envisions a future where businesses operate with small, highly skilled teams augmented by AI agents handling all routine coordination, liberating human creativity for strategy, innovation, and customer relationships that actually benefit from human judgment.

"Our goal isn't just to make automation easier," adds Quiroga. "It's to make busy work obsolete. When the portal is wide open, people walk through."
