A fresh round of funding powers Lily, an AI built to understand how your business really runs, and automate the tasks that bog down your team.
InstaLILY announced a $60 million Series B funding round on July 14, 2026, and debuted Lily, an AI system designed to automate business workflows by learning how your company actually operates. The product builds, deploys, and maintains custom software for repetitive operational tasks, without requiring your team to write code or hire developers.
Lily trains itself on your business processes by observing how your team currently handles pricing quotes, logistics planning, and sales opportunity identification. Once trained, it automates those same tasks at scale. The difference from generic AI tools: Lily understands your specific rules, thresholds, and exceptions because it learned them from your data and workflows.
A $60M Series B tells you InstaLILY has cleared the pilot phase. Investors back companies at this scale when they see repeatable customer results and a path to real revenue. For a business owner evaluating AI automation platforms, it means the company has the capital and validation to stay operational and improve the product over years, not fold in 18 months.
Lily requires clean data and clear process documentation. If your quoting, logistics, or sales workflows are ad hoc or stored across multiple systems, you'll need to unify them first. The AI learns what you teach it, so garbage in still means garbage out.

How WebKing runs this
We track when AI tools graduate from proof-of-concept to production workload. Lily's ability to learn and maintain custom automation without hiring developers matters to shop owners and operations managers because it means routine tasks, quoting, routing, lead qualification, run 24/7 without adding headcount.
According to InstaLILY's announcement, Lily handles tasks like generating pricing quotes, planning logistics routes, and identifying sales opportunities. It learns by observing how your team currently does these jobs, then executes them at scale.
No. Lily is trained on your company's existing business processes, so it works within how you already operate rather than forcing you to adopt new software's way of doing things.
A $60M Series B means InstaLILY is moving beyond startup phase into scaling production. That stability matters if you're considering AI automation, the company has runway to support customers for years, not months.
Lily is trained on your specific workflows and maintains the automations it builds, whereas most general-purpose AI tools require a team to prompt them correctly every time. This is purpose-built for operations teams.
