Tekst is an Agentic Process Automation leader that transforms messy inboxes, complex workflows, and siloed systems into automated enterprise workflows (across CRM/ERP systems). We use custom LLMs to mine conversations, structure emails, and launch cross-system actions in Outlook, Salesforce, SAP and beyond.

After strong traction in Europe with enterprise customers like Becton Dickinson, Mitsubishi and Nokia we’re now looking at the UK and US. To get there, we’re hiring a world-class Head of Sales to lead and grow our sales team across regions and segments.
