Cloneable Debuts Agentic AI Platform, Raises $4.6M Seed

Key Takeaways

Cloneable Agent shadows experts to convert workflows into deployable AI agents.
Targets utilities, telecom and energy firms facing expert retirements and knowledge loss.
Raised $4.6M round led by Congruent Ventures, to bring total funding to $5.35M.

Cloneable launched Cloneable Agent on April 23, an agentic AI platform designed to capture institutional knowledge from infrastructure experts and redeploy it as specialized AI agents. The company also closed a $4.6 million seed round led by Congruent Ventures, with participation from First In, Overline, St. Elmo Venture Capital and Bull City Venture Partners.

Cloneable Agent works by observing experts as they perform complex workflows inside the desktop and web-based tools they already use, capturing their audio and documentation in real-time. That recorded expertise is then converted into an AI agent capable of executing the same task independently and at scale — without requiring coding or clean structured data. At launch, purpose-built templates for energy — covering make-ready engineering, permitting and joint use — aim to deliver time-to-value in as little as 24 hours, the company stated.

The seed funding will accelerate expansion across infrastructure-intensive industries including utilities, vegetation management, energy, construction, rail, mining, agriculture and manufacturing. Cloneable asserts these markets are chronically underserved by point solutions.

We're asking aging infrastructure to carry a modern economy, and we're still managing it with fragmented tools and tribal knowledge. That gap has a real cost. What Cloneable has built, from field capture through back-office execution, is the kind of operational continuity this industry has needed for a long time.

Cloneable.ai Expands Its Scope

Cloneable began as an AI field-inspection startup in 2023, but with this release repositioned itself as an agentic AI platform for infrastructure. The company states its platform addresses operational bottlenecks for organizations that rely on a small pool of senior experts.

The $4.6 million seed round was led by Congruent Ventures, with participation from First In, Overline, Bull City Venture Partners and St. Elmo Venture Capital — the investing arm of customer Texas Area Telecom — bringing total funding to $5.35 million.

Proceeds will fund industry expansion and continued hiring, following team growth from five full-time employees in late 2025 to nine employees in early 2026.

The launch builds on a May 2025 integration with Katapult Pro that connected Cloneable's LiDAR-enabled mobile collection tool to Katapult's pole design and loading analysis software. That integration enabled single-person, offline-capable field inspections and cut office processing time by roughly 20%.
