Industry-leading AI system with guardrails announces new investors including Andreessen Horowitz, and general availability of healthcare AI copilot FastTrack™

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Infinitus Systems, Inc., provider of the first AI platform specifically built to automate manual healthcare phone calls, has raised its Series C financing led by Andreessen Horowitz. 

Andreessen Horowitz and Memorial Hermann Health System joined existing investors Kleiner Perkins, Coatue, and GV (Google Ventures) in investing an additional $51.5 million to accelerate the Infinitus mission of transforming healthcare operations with AI. This brings the company’s total funding raised to $102.9 million.

The healthcare experience for patients and employees is falling short. Inefficiencies in back-office operations lead to delays in access to treatment and contribute to employee burnout from tedious manual processes. Infinitus solves this fundamental problem by enabling payors, providers, and drug manufacturers to automate one of the most time-consuming aspects of healthcare operations — manual phone calls. 

“We have an enormous opportunity to transform how the healthcare ecosystem exchanges administrative data,” said Ankit Jain, CEO and co-founder of Infinitus. “We are grateful for the support from our new and existing investors, as this funding will allow us to further scale our impact, continuing to innovate and deliver solutions that meaningfully improve the experience of patients with chronic conditions.”

Infinitus is setting the standard for how AI is used within patient services, much of this due to the strength of its industry-leading AI guardrails, safeguards designed to ensure AI systems operate within ethical, legal, and technical boundaries. The ability to combine guardrails at every level of the Infinitus AI system means the company’s AI products can handle long phone conversations with high accuracy, ensuring customers get the reliable data they need. The AI agent, for example, can navigate hundreds of conversational turns and long context windows, something even the most modern LLMs can’t do.

Unlike other solutions on the market, Infinitus has the ability to use LLMs for their reasoning and extraction capabilities through a coordination layer that restricts conversations to an approved set of topics. This discrete knowledge and action space puts to rest any concerns that the AI might hallucinate.

In addition, the phone calls on which these conversations occur stay secure and compliant, as all Infinitus solutions are HIPAA and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and run on a HITRUST Certified Cloud.

“Our comprehensive guardrails enable us to create a secure and precise environment for these interactions. This not only minimizes errors but also ensures compliance and trust, which are paramount in healthcare,” said Shyam Rajagopalan, co-founder and CTO of Infinitus. “In addition to enabling our full-call automation, our guardrails play a major role in other products we have developed, including FastTrack™, the Infinitus AI copilot, which is built on many of these same components.”

The purpose-built AI copilot for healthcare, FastTrack enters general availability today. It enables call center staff contacting payors to bypass tedious IVR systems and hold times, reducing administrative task turnaround time and improving patient support.

“The potential for AI to revolutionize the healthcare industry is immense, and Infinitus is well positioned to help customers navigate this time of change,” said Scott Kupor, managing partner at Andreessen Horowitz, who also joined the Infinitus board as part of this investment. “We believe in Infinitus’s vision and are confident that their innovative solutions, like FastTrack, will continue to disrupt the industry and deliver significant value to both their customers and the broader healthcare ecosystem, safely and securely driving efficiency and enabling healthcare providers to focus more on patient care.”

FastTrack is powered by lnfinitus’s purpose-built AI system for healthcare, which draws from a vast knowledge graph of payor intelligence gathered from over 4 million calls and counting. It knows the right numbers to call, can navigate complex IVR systems, and waits on hold on behalf of reimbursement specialists or other call center staff – dropping callers in once a live payor agent answers. Use cases for FastTrack include claims processing, prior authorizations, and benefit verifications, among others.

“We believe this technology can help with workforce shortages by taking on some of the tasks that help support workflow,” said Feby Abraham, PhD, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for Memorial Hermann. “We are always looking for new ways to engage our employees and make them feel better supported. The unique challenges of the past few years have only heightened the need for support in this area.”

FastTrack does not require an integration to get started; API integrations are available, as well as integrations to popular systems of record such as Salesforce. Users of the system get back significant time they would have otherwise spent navigating IVRs, waiting on hold, or composing summary notes – another feature auto-generated by the solution.

FastTrack is the latest achievement for Infinitus, which also announced the launches of its AI electronic benefit verification solutions for patients covered by commercial insurance and Medicare earlier this year. Access to FastTrack can be requested via this link.

Driving Certainty Through Uncertainty: eclicktech’s Engineering Approach to Agentic AI

Published

on

By

XI’AN, China, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As generative AI moves from experimentation to enterprise deployment, the industry focus is shifting from model capability to operational reliability. The challenge is no longer simply building smarter AI, but ensuring AI systems can operate safely and consistently inside complex production environments.

eclicktech recently shared its internal engineering practices around Agentic AI, highlighting how the company is applying context engineering, multi-cloud infrastructure, and layered security frameworks to support enterprise-scale AI deployment.

To support global operations across more than 230 countries and regions, eclicktech built its Cycor platform around a multi-cloud architecture integrating AWS, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Huawei Cloud, and other providers. According to the company, this approach improves infrastructure flexibility, reduces vendor lock-in risk, and enables more efficient orchestration of large-scale Kubernetes clusters and AI workloads.

eclicktech stated that one of the key lessons from early Agent development was that prompt engineering alone was insufficient for enterprise deployment. The company therefore shifted toward context engineering — an approach focused on delivering the right information, at the right time, while optimizing limited token resources.

Its engineering framework includes six layers of context management covering active sessions, short-term memory, long-term semantic storage, knowledge graphs, operational experience, and reusable organizational skills. The system also supports proactive context injection, allowing relevant operational history and risk information to be surfaced automatically before sensitive actions are executed.

To improve inference efficiency, eclicktech introduced layered token governance and progressive tool-loading mechanisms, dynamically loading tools and information only when required. The company said this approach helped improve tool selection accuracy and reduce unnecessary token consumption during complex operational workflows.

Security remains a core requirement throughout the architecture. eclicktech’s governance framework includes namespace isolation, dry-run verification, human approval workflows, rule-based validation, and rollback mechanisms designed to reduce operational risks associated with AI-driven automation.

According to eclicktech, the next stage of enterprise AI competition will depend not only on model capability, but also on engineering reliability, infrastructure orchestration, context management, and organizational knowledge systems.

By

SINGAPORE, May 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Casual, hyper-casual, and hybrid-casual games have become dominant categories in the global mobile market, making in-app advertising (IAA) a key driver of monetization success. However, many developers continue to face major challenges, including unstable fill rates, fluctuating eCPMs, difficulties balancing multiple regional markets, and the ongoing tradeoff between user experience and revenue growth.

To address these issues, zMaticoo has compiled a series of monetization case studies from leading game publishers and studios across China, Vietnam, Europe, and North America. These teams span hyper-casual, puzzle, board, card, and light-casual game categories, with DAUs ranging from millions to tens of millions. By adopting the same monetization framework, they achieved simultaneous growth in fill rate, eCPM, and ad revenue while maintaining stable user experience.

A common challenge among these teams was the shrinking monetization margin across global markets, creating an urgent need for sustainable revenue growth. At the same time, developers were cautious about over-monetization negatively impacting retention and player engagement.

To solve these challenges, zMaticoo introduced an AI-driven monetization system with full-funnel optimization capabilities. The platform connects developers directly to premium global advertiser budgets across both performance and brand advertising. AI models identify high-value traffic in real time based on region, audience, and usage scenarios, prioritizing high-eCPM demand sources. Separate bidding strategies are applied for mature and emerging markets to avoid revenue loss caused by one-size-fits-all pricing models.

The platform also provides refined ad format optimization:

Banner Ads: optimized display share and loading timing to improve SOV and stabilize eCPM;Interstitial Ads: precisely triggered during high-value moments such as level completion or pause screens, with especially strong premiums in emerging markets;Rewarded Video: deeply integrated into gameplay loops, delivering high user acceptance and conversion performance.

On the technical side, zMaticoo optimized SDK infrastructure to improve fill stability under weak network conditions. Ad loading time was reduced from five seconds to under two seconds through a rebuilt loading architecture. Progressive asset loading further minimized timeout-related drop-offs. AI-powered ad templates dynamically generated personalized creatives, improving both CTR and conversion performance.

The zMaticoo team also provides one-stop operational and analytics support. Developers can monitor fill rate, impressions, eCPM, and revenue through a unified dashboard, while dedicated optimization specialists provide 7×12 support for A/B testing, strategy iteration, and scaling guidance. The platform is deeply integrated with major mediation solutions, enabling one-time integration and multi-scenario deployment while reducing development and maintenance costs.

According to zMaticoo platform data:

In mature markets including the United States, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, banner eCPMs increased by 5%–10%, while interstitial premiums improved by over 5%;In emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Southeast Asia, interstitial eCPMs increased by more than 10%.

The monetization framework has demonstrated effectiveness across hyper-casual, puzzle, board/card, and utility app categories, supporting both rapid scale-up and long-term monetization stability.

Partner feedback includes:

“We are highly satisfied with the revenue uplift after integration. Our core products’ banner performance now ranks among the top tier.””Revenue recovered significantly after A/B testing, and we are expanding testing across more products.””One solution now supports multiple global markets without requiring separate monetization strategies for each region.””Interstitial monetization performance has been especially strong, with SOV reaching 10%–20% for several partners.”

zMaticoo believes successful monetization today is not about stacking more ad platforms, but about leveraging AI, technology, and refined operations to unlock long-term traffic value. Whether for hyper-casual publishers, puzzle game studios, or global mobile app companies, this AI-powered monetization framework is designed to deliver sustainable revenue growth while preserving user experience.
