Inc42 reported that conversational AI startup Yellow.ai laid off more than 100 employees, about 30% of its workforce, as agentic AI changed how the company builds, implements, and supports its product.
The enterprise AI landscape has fundamentally transformed with the emergence of agentic AI technologies. Like many technology companies, we've made difficult but necessary workforce adjustments as part of our transition to an agentic AI platform.
Yellow.ai did not confirm the exact number of affected employees, but Inc42's sources said more than 100 workers were laid off and about 30% of the workforce was affected.
