AI startup SqaaS, backed by ixigo, has launched its new AI agent platform, ShellBot, signalling a strong push into the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence space. This development comes soon after ixigo acquired a significant stake in the Spain-based company, reflecting its broader ambition to expand beyond travel technology and invest in future-ready innovations.
ShellBot is designed to go beyond traditional chat-based AI tools. Instead of simply responding to commands, it works as an independent AI agent that can operate in the background and complete tasks on behalf of users. This shift makes AI more practical and useful in everyday work scenarios.
A digital assistant that works 24/7
One of ShellBot’s biggest advantages is its ability to function like a full-time digital assistant. It can handle emails, schedule meetings, perform research, and even support writing or coding tasks. The platform integrates smoothly with commonly used apps like WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail, and Microsoft Teams, making it highly accessible for professionals and businesses.
Each AI agent runs on a dedicated virtual system, ensuring consistent performance and allowing it to remember previous interactions. This creates a more personalised and efficient user experience over time.
Built with security and control in mind
Security remains a key focus for ShellBot. The platform includes permission-based actions, confirmation prompts for sensitive tasks, and safeguards against misuse. Users also have full visibility into what the AI is doing, which helps build trust.
With easy setup and affordable pricing, ShellBot aims to make advanced AI accessible to freelancers, startups, and enterprises alike. The launch highlights a growing trend where AI is becoming an active partner in everyday work, helping users save time and improve productivity.
