Ringo and its AI assistant Charlie

Netherlands-based sync-tech startup Ringo has launched Charlie, an AI assistant that operates entirely within WhatsApp.

The company, which raised its first funding round in 2023, launched its AI-powered licensing platform in 2025.

Ringo’s announcement specifies that Charlie uses the pronoun she.

Charlie is designed to field questions from clients, which Ringo’s team can then handle.
