MoEngage Launches Merlin AI Custom Agents
MoEngage announced Merlin AI Custom Agents, a set of agentic marketing tools that run on MoEngage data while providing full visibility and marketer-defined guardrails. The release includes continuously running Custom Agents with full activity logs, three new assistant agents (In-App Template Generator, Flows Assist, Campaign Insights Agent), and an open Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector so external AI systems like Claude and ChatGPT can read context or orchestrate actions via MoEngage.

MoEngage says over 1,350 consumer brands use its platform and cites customers involved in shaping the product such as SoundCloud, Loblaws, Swiggy and Domino’s. The announcement was published June 3, 2026 via PRNewswire on MarTech Series.

Aampe’s agents are already in production at brands including Taxfix, ZenBusiness, Grab and Swiggy; the platform reportedly runs hundreds of millions of agents and processes more than 200 billion decisions weekly.

MoEngage Acquires Aampe to Scale AI Agents
India-based customer engagement platform MoEngage has acquired San Francisco startup Aampe in an all-cash deal aimed at embedding per-customer AI agents into marketing workflows. Financial terms were not disclosed; a source told TechCrunch the deal was worth "tens of millions" of dollars. Aampe, founded in 2020, builds software that assigns a dedicated AI agent to each customer to personalize messaging based on individual behaviour; the startup has more than 30 customers across the U.S., Europe and APAC and saw annual recurring revenue grow 150% year-over-year, MoEngage CEO Raviteja Dodda said. About 20 Aampe employees will join MoEngage, bringing the combined company's headcount to roughly 820. MoEngage — which raised $280 million in late 2025 — expects the acquisition to help win enterprise customers migrating from Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud.
