$1 million for Cycls to streamline digital interactions

Meet Cycls, the startup from Saudi Arabia aiming to revolutionise digital interactions with AI-driven chat services that seamlessly connects users to a range of industries, from e-commerce and telecom to travel and personal finance. 

Founded in 2021 by Mohammed Alrujayi and Khalid Alrasheed, Cycls have just launched “Sarya”, a superchat app that enables users to converse, shop, and transact within a single chat interface.

🦸 Not the Superchat we deserved, but the Superchat we needed

Digital interactions are the bread and butter of today's online world.

But… juggling multiple platforms, applications, and services can be tedious, confusing, and inefficient for users.

Enter Sarya, stage left. Sarya's Superchat tackles this problem by centralising how users interact with the digital world. Users can ask questions, make purchases, and even book flights through the power of instant messaging.

The platform allows businesses to present their products to a wider audience, manage and acknowledge orders, and access financial reports, all while providing users with a streamlined purchase process that enhances upselling opportunities and boosts conversions.

  • The firm offers two integration pathways for businesses: End-to-End Integration for those equipped with APIs, and the Sarya Portal for those without.

📱What’s next?

The new funding for Cycls will support the launch of Sarya, and facilitate the company's expansion to the UAE.

  • Currently operating exclusively on iOS and utilising Apple Pay for transactions, Cycls also has ambitions to expand Sarya's reach to other platforms.
