Skene Secures €800K To Boost Software Growth With AI Agents

As software development accelerates, a growing gap has emerged between building products and achieving commercial success. Many startups struggle to reach product-market fit, while a large portion of SaaS tools remain underutilised.

This execution gap results in significant wasted investment often masked by expanding sales and customer success teams rather than addressing the product’s inherent growth potential.

Skene was founded to tackle this challenge. The company has developed an AI agent that analyses a product’s source code to understand its logic, structure, and intended use, then generates continuously updated user guidance integrated into everyday tools and workflows. By helping users realise value faster, Skene drives higher adoption, broader usage and stronger retention across the user lifecycle.

Skene positions its platform as an autonomous value layer for SaaS products. Its AI agents analyse software codebases to deliver personalised, outcome-driven customer success at scale, automating key growth functions such as onboarding, adoption, and retention.

According to CEO Teemu Kinos, many established products still depend heavily on sales teams, customer support, and manual workflows to drive growth, while remaining cautious about adopting scalable AI-based solutions. He adds:

The opportunity for exponential product-led growth is in the hands of AI-native teams looking for ways to ship at a speed and scale manual growth strategies can’t match. Skene automates the path to growth at every step, continuously improving user outcomes with every release.

Skene has already launched its first AI agent and plans to expand coverage across the full product growth loop by early 2026. The company will use its new funding to surpass €1 million in ARR and broaden the platform to support growth across the entire user journey by spring 2026.
