As the global “SaaSpocalypse” reshapes enterprise software, data from the Asia-headquartered AI commerce platform reveals a decisive shift in how businesses are buying and deploying technology.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 4 March 2026 – New data from SleekFlow, an AI-native agentic commerce platform serving over 2,000 businesses across 80 countries, points to a sharp shift in software buying behavior. In Q4 2025, 76% of newly acquired customers on the platform bypassed traditional messaging tiers entirely and signed up directly for AI plans. Many upgraded their usage within 90 days.

The data arrives amid what Wall Street has dubbed the “SaaSpocalypse” — a sector-wide sell-off that has erased hundreds of billions in market value from legacy SaaS companies as investors reassess traditional per-seat software models in an agentic AI world. SleekFlow’s numbers tell the story from the buy side: businesses aren’t experimenting with AI cautiously. They’re choosing it outright at the point of purchase.

Since launching AgentFlow in July 2025 — a platform that lets businesses build and deploy autonomous AI agents across messaging channels — SleekFlow has tracked a rapid acceleration:

• 76% of new customers chose AI-native plans over basic tiers in Q4 2025
• 64% quarter-on-quarter growth in new customer acquisition
• 25% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth
• Self-serve sign-up rates nearly doubled since the AgentFlow launch

“The market is moving past the era of static tools,” said Henson Tsai, Founder and CEO of SleekFlow. “Businesses are no longer buying software to make their teams more efficient. They’re buying AI agents that function as a digital workforce.”

SleekFlow’s AI agents operate across WhatsApp, Instagram, and live chat, handling the full customer journey — from inquiry to product recommendation to payment processing — without human intervention. The platform’s underlying AI continuously learns from millions of daily messages and customer interactions, building an evolving understanding of each customer’s history and autonomously identifying gaps in its own knowledge. The company calls this approach “agentic commerce” — AI that doesn’t just chat, but transacts.

The shift is being felt at enterprise scale. HKBN, the publicly-listed Hong Kong telecommunications company, deployed AgentFlow earlier this year. Kenneth She, HKBN’s Chief Transformation Officer, said the deployment changed the company’s entire growth trajectory.

SleekFlow is now expanding its agent suite to include specialized AI for data analysis, customer retention, and pricing optimization. The company’s technical roadmap is led by a Silicon Valley veteran and former CTO of LinkedIn China. Tsai expects SleekFlow to more than double its revenue year-over-year by the end of 2026.

“The winners of 2026 won’t be those who adopted AI,” Tsai said. “They’ll be those who were rebuilt by it.”

Features such as pre-stay chat and real-time guest transparency allow travelers to start building community even before packing their bags, and allowing an extended user experience beyond the trip – fostering immediate social bonds, accountability, a sense of belonging from day one and lasting connections.

Community Impact

Guided by the belief that “one community shouldn’t ruin it for the next,” Mad Monkey sees itself as a guest in every region it operates. Its CSR initiatives are designed to support local communities and ecosystems rather than exploit them, Mad Monkey is proud to employ 77% of their staff from outside city communities ensuring that the local communities are enriched by the platform too.

Together, Mad Monkey, EXS and Best Nights VC are excited to co-create the next chapter of global backpacker culture, scaling experience-driven hospitality, expanding into new markets, and delivering more moments of joy, connection, and adventure worldwide.

More Best Nights. More global community. More meaningful travel experiences.
