Singapore, Aug. 15, 2025 — today announced the launch of DEALISM, introducing the world’s first AI agent specifically engineered to revolutionize the daily workflows of individual sales professionals utilizing WhatsApp Business. Harnessing advanced large language models (LLM), deep learning, reasoning models, reinforcement learning (RL), and multi-agent systems, DEALISM operates as an omnipresent intelligent sales partner. It adeptly handles complex, proactive, and multi-turn customer dialogues, automates routine tasks, and continually enhances its performance through self-learning from every interaction to yield superior results.
A Solution Rooted in Experience
The vision behind DEALISM stems from the direct experiences of its founder, Leo Huan. As the former president of China’s inaugural publicly listed SaaS company, Leo has transitioned from a platform boasting over $15 billion in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) to establish a new venture: an AI-driven agent dedicated to empowering individual sales professionals.
Prior to initiating his new enterprise, Leo served as an investor at Hillhouse Capital, a prominent investment firm in China. In 2018, he joined the pioneering SaaS company as COO and Co-President, where he was responsible for managing a sales force exceeding 3,000 individuals, spanning both direct sales and distributor channels.
Despite the considerable scale of the company, Leo personally observed significant inefficiencies—including protracted sales onboarding, underperforming CRM systems, and difficulties in transferring and scaling knowledge. He also noted that while many companies were starting to leverage AI to improve their sales processes, these advancements often merely optimized existing workflows, akin to an engine idling rather than propelling forward.
“I am not interested in creating just another system that merely documents sales steps. My goal is for AI to genuinely acquire and apply sales experience, to comprehend brands and products, and to evolve through authentic conversations. This is precisely what we are accomplishing for WhatsApp Business,” Leo stated. “If we succeed, sales will no longer depend on the traditional ‘master-apprentice’ model, where experience and skills are transmitted solely by word of mouth. Instead, sales knowledge can be automatically updated, shared, and adapted—much like a human.”
