NEW YORK, NY – 08/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how companies evaluate and purchase enterprise software. New platform data released by SleekFlow suggests that businesses are increasingly skipping traditional SaaS software tiers and opting directly for AI-powered solutions that can automate entire workflows.
According to the Singapore-headquartered AI commerce platform, 76% of customers who joined the platform in the fourth quarter of 2025 selected AI-native plans at the point of purchase rather than starting with basic messaging or collaboration tools. The trend signals a significant change in enterprise technology adoption, with organizations demonstrating growing confidence in AI systems capable of operating autonomously across customer engagement channels.
The data comes at a time when analysts and investors have begun referring to the current market shift as the “SaaSpocalypse,” a period marked by sharp declines in the valuation of traditional SaaS providers as investors question legacy per-seat pricing models. While much of the discussion has focused on financial markets, SleekFlow’s data highlights how the transformation is also unfolding among software buyers themselves.
SleekFlow operates an AI-native “agentic commerce” platform used by more than 2,000 businesses across 80 countries. The company reported that following the launch of AgentFlow in July 2025—its system for building and deploying autonomous AI agents across messaging platforms—customer adoption accelerated significantly.
Key platform metrics recorded since the launch include:
- 76% of new customers selecting AI-native subscription plans in Q4 2025
- 64% quarter-over-quarter growth in new customer acquisition
- 25% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth
- Nearly double the rate of self-service sign-ups compared with the period before AgentFlow was introduced
Industry observers note that these figures reflect a broader shift in how businesses perceive software. Rather than purchasing tools designed solely to improve employee productivity, companies are beginning to deploy AI-driven systems capable of independently handling operational tasks.
Henson Tsai, Founder and CEO of SleekFlow, said the trend reflects the emergence of a new digital workforce model. Instead of relying exclusively on human teams supported by software tools, organizations are increasingly implementing AI agents that can perform customer-facing tasks at scale.
SleekFlow’s AI agents operate across messaging channels such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and live chat platforms. The system is designed to manage the full customer engagement lifecycle—from answering inquiries and recommending products to processing payments—without requiring direct human intervention. The underlying AI continuously analyzes millions of daily messages and interactions, enabling it to refine its understanding of customer preferences while identifying knowledge gaps and improving performance over time.
The company refers to this model as agentic commerce, a framework in which AI does more than communicate with customers—it completes transactions and drives revenue generation.
Enterprise organizations have also begun adopting the technology. Hong Kong–based telecommunications provider HKBN recently implemented AgentFlow as part of its digital transformation strategy. According to Kenneth She, Chief Transformation Officer at HKBN, the deployment has had a meaningful impact on the company’s operational growth trajectory.
Looking ahead, SleekFlow plans to expand its suite of AI agents to support additional enterprise functions, including data analysis, customer retention strategies, and dynamic pricing optimization. The company’s product development roadmap is led by a Silicon Valley technology veteran who previously served as Chief Technology Officer of LinkedIn China.
SleekFlow expects the growing adoption of agentic AI systems to drive continued expansion. Tsai indicated that the company anticipates more than doubling its annual revenue by the end of 2026.
As part of its global growth strategy, SleekFlow has also begun expanding its presence in the United States. The company recently appointed Jeremy O’Hara as U.S. Market Lead, establishing its first dedicated operational team in the country to support regional business development.
Tsai believes that the next phase of digital transformation will not simply involve adopting AI tools, but restructuring organizations around them.
“The companies that succeed in the coming years will not just be those that experimented with AI,” Tsai said. “They will be the ones that fundamentally redesigned how their operations work around intelligent systems.”
