Regie.ai Secures Foundational U.S. Patent for AI Agent Technology Years Ahead of the Market

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Regie.ai today announced it has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 12346822B2, for its breakthrough agentic AI technology that dynamically determines the next best action in a workflow. This patent establishes Regie.ai as one of the earliest pioneers of generative AI and reinforces its position at the forefront of the agentic AI movement now reshaping the enterprise software landscape.

From its founding in 2020, Regie.ai has consistently been first. It was the first venture-backed generative AI startup and among the very first to recognize the transformative potential of AI agents. Years before the broader market began talking about autonomous agents, Regie.ai had already filed its patent to protect this foundational capability. Today, that foresight is validated with an award that covers not just sales prospecting, but any AI-driven agentic workflow that uses reinforcement learning to determine next best actions whether in Sales, Marketing, HR, or other applications.

A Fundamental Shift Beyond Legacy Platforms

Legacy sales engagement platforms rely on rigid rules, static workflows, and human task management to drive outreach. In contrast, Regie.ai's patented technology enables intelligent agents to autonomously execute and adapt workflows in real time, continuously deciding whether to send an email, make a call, adjust timing, or take another action. This creates a system that learns, adapts, and optimizes with each interaction, ensuring maximum efficiency and impact.

While the company's current focus is sales prospecting, helping teams book more meetings and generate more pipeline with fewer tools and less manual effort, the scope of the patent reaches far beyond prospecting. It codifies a framework for intelligent AI decisioning that can be applied across countless business functions.

A Milestone for Regie.ai and for AI Itself

"This is more than a milestone for Regie.ai, it's a milestone for the AI industry," said Srinath Sridhar, CEO and Co-Founder of Regie.ai. "We envisioned the power of agentic AI years before the market caught on. This patent validates our early conviction, protects the innovation at the core of our platform and cements our leadership in bringing truly autonomous AI to go-to-market teams and beyond."

The decisioning engine at the heart of the patent is what powers the Regie.ai platform today, unifying enrichment, prioritization, outbound messaging, and live calling in a single, streamlined system. For sales leaders, this means the ability to design high-performing prospecting plays that are executed consistently and intelligently, without the overhead of managing rigid workflows or stitching together point solutions.

"At a time when sales teams are under pressure to do more with less, AI agents that can think, adapt, and act are not just a differentiator—they are a necessity," added Matt Millen, President and Co-Founder of Regie.ai. "This patent underscores that Regie.ai is not only ahead of the curve but helping define the future of AI-powered go-to-market execution."

Establishing Market Differentiation

By securing this patent, Regie.ai creates a defensible advantage in one of the most important emerging categories of enterprise software. While many companies are only now starting to experiment with agents, Regie.ai owns the intellectual property for a foundational method that drives agentic workflows at scale. This not only differentiates the company from legacy sales engagement platforms but also from newer entrants seeking to build AI-driven prospecting capabilities.
