SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 13, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- EasyMate AI, an AI agent platform that helps knowledge-led organizations engage members and understand community needs, has been selected for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200 at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. The company, among 200 startups chosen from thousands of applicants worldwide, aims to bridge the gap between vast online reach and personal engagement.
Founded by Aihui Ong, EasyMate AI’s platform uses AI agents to connect content across various platforms, making it accessible and personalized for members. These agents remember individual members' goals and previous conversations, guiding them toward relevant content and next steps. Beyond member engagement, the platform provides actionable insights into community questions, emerging topics, and content gaps, helping organizations identify what to teach, create, or offer next.
The technology is already in use by Core of the Heart, a ministry founded by Pastor Johnny Chang, which reaches over seven million followers. With more than 6,000 hours of teaching content, the ministry uses EasyMate AI to help members find answers and receive guidance grounded in its teachings, around the clock. The platform powers over 500,000 AI conversations per month, generating insights that help the organization better serve its members and uncover growth opportunities.
Being selected for TechCrunch Startup Battlefield 200 brings the company another step closer to its vision of personal engagement and community understanding.
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, taking place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, will showcase EasyMate AI alongside other promising early-stage companies. The event brings together founders, investors, and technology leaders from around the world, providing a platform for startups to exhibit, connect, and participate in startup programming and networking events.
EasyMate AI’s platform is designed to help organizations, including creators, ministries, educators, and membership communities, engage their members more effectively. Currently, these organizations can reach millions of people through videos, courses, and online platforms. However, much of their valuable knowledge remains scattered across different channels, making it difficult for members to find answers and receive personal guidance. At the same time, organizations have limited visibility into what their communities are asking, struggling with, or need next.
EasyMate AI bridges this gap with an AI agent platform that turns an organization's existing knowledge into personalized guidance and actionable community insights. The platform connects content across videos, courses, documents, and other platforms, making it accessible through configurable AI agents. These agents answer questions, remember members' goals and previous conversations, and guide them toward relevant content and next steps.
Beyond member engagement, EasyMate AI gives organizations visibility into the questions their communities are asking, emerging topics of interest, and gaps in existing content. These actionable insights help organizations identify what to teach, create, or offer next, enabling them to better serve members, improve retention, and uncover growth opportunities. Organizations remain in control, defining the knowledge sources, rules, and boundaries that guide their AI agents.
The platform has already demonstrated its effectiveness at Core of the Heart, where it powers over 500,000 AI conversations per month. This engagement not only helps members find answers and receive guidance but also provides valuable insights into the community's needs and interests. EasyMate AI reports that it has powered more than five million AI conversations to date, further validating its approach.
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will take place from October 13 to 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, bringing together founders, investors, and technology leaders from around the world.
