Yoolee AI
元理智能
Yoolee AI (元理智能) is an enterprise-agent startup founded by Zhang Fan, formerly COO of Zhipu AI, after his departure in June 2025 . The company closed an $8 million seed round led by BlueRun Ventures in late 2025, with participation from Guangyuan Venture Fund . Its core bet is on reinforcement learning rather than the mainstream "customization + supervised fine-tuning" approach to building business agents; Yoolee trains agents centrally and deploys them in distributed enterprise environments so they self-optimize against real business outcomes . Zhang, a serial entrepreneur who studied AI in France, worked on voice products at Sogou and Tencent, and previously founded Yuanin Intelligence (acquired by Zhipu), describes the current mainstream agent-to-B model as too tightly coupled to base models and too costly to scale . BlueRun Ventures counts Yoolee among its active AI portfolio companies alongside Kimi, Zhiyuan Robotics, and others .
