Konko AI has raised $6.0M to scale its autonomous AI agent for healthcare clinics across Latin America, where overwhelmed front-office teams often lose patients at the first point of contact. The company’s product, Kora, handles WhatsApp conversations around the clock-fielding questions, booking appointments, and routing patients to the right service-freeing up more than 40 hours of weekly staff time and turning more chats into scheduled visits.
The round arrives as clinics in the region grapple with rising patient expectations and thin administrative bandwidth. Konko AI’s pitch is straightforward: automate the routine, let humans focus on care. With fresh capital, the startup is positioned to push deeper into a market where messaging apps are the default channel for health inquiries-though specifics on how the funds will be deployed remain under wraps.
