AI tools for marketers: DOJO closes $6m seed, Yuma launches Ask Yuma, Reloop and In Parallel debut

Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail Yuma AI launched Ask Yuma on 8 April - a conversational interface that lets ecommerce support teams build automations, diagnose tickets and pull reports by talking to the platform. 60% adoption among existing Yuma merchants in the first week of internal release. Most operationally useful launch on this list for any Shopify brand running CX in-house. DOJO AI announced a $6m seed round on 22 April at a $30m valuation, led by Armilar. The Lisbon-based team has 100+ paying brands including CoinDesk, Morningstar and PensionBee, with 20% month-on-month growth. Built around a multi-agent layer that acts on marketing data rather than just reports it. Reloop launched on Product Hunt on 23 April. Conversational AI video ad generator - describe the product and brief, get a full video ad with avatars, captions, transitions and formatting. Sits squarely in the performance-creative production lane. In Parallel launched on Product Hunt within the last week. Turns meetings into tracked execution plans with owners and risk signals, positioned as an "operating system for execution" rather than another notetaker. Worth a small-team pilot.
