Dubber AI acquires Daisee assets to enter contact centre AI market
Dubber Corporation (ASX: DUB), trading as Dubber AI, has entered into an Asset Sale Agreement to acquire specified assets of Daisee Holdings Pty Ltd, with expected completion in October 2026. The maximum total consideration is A$1.25m, comprising up to A$1.0m in cash paid across three tranches and A$250k in Dubber AI shares. Daisee carries annual recurring revenue (ARR) of just under A$1.7m, and the transaction is framed as a continuation of Dubber AI’s stated strategy to broaden its revenue streams.

Why Daisee’s AI technology matters
Daisee has spent nine years developing artificial intelligence (AI) that evaluates every customer conversation across numerous categories at human-level accuracy. The technology uses machine learning and natural language processing to isolate positive and negative attributes in every interaction, and its proprietary algorithms have been trained and measured across tens of millions of phone calls.
A key attribute of Daisee’s approach is that its models can be deployed as pretrained tools to new clients, reducing implementation complexity. More importantly, the underlying IP is described as “deterministic” in nature, meaning results are reliable and verifiable rather than probabilistic. This characteristic makes the technology particularly well suited to regulated industries such as insurance and finance, where consistency and auditability are requirements rather than preferences.
The platform is also capable of deriving insights into customer intent and outcomes that the announcement states are impossible to replicate using traditional CRM systems or generative AI techniques. This positions Daisee’s IP as a differentiated asset rather than a commodity offering. The technology’s standing in regulated sectors has been recognised externally, with Daisee receiving RegTech of the Year and InsureTech of the Year awards.
What this means for Dubber’s growth strategy
Dubber AI has previously advised the market that it is broadening its revenue streams. The products and capabilities the company has flagged include:
- Compliant and non-Compliant Call Recording
- Payments processing technologies
- Dubber AI Notes, providing call recording summaries and intelligent triggers (expected market release September 2026)
- New AI Products (expected market release October 2026)
The Daisee acquisition adds a further revenue stream by targeting the contact centre market, with a specific focus on insurance, financial services, and broader industries. The assets being acquired include customer contracts, intellectual property, technology assets, and selected supplier contracts, with the company also expecting to employ certain Daisee personnel as part of the transaction.
The strategic benefits of the deal, as reflected in the announcement, can be summarised as follows:
- Immediate addition of just under A$1.7m in ARR to Dubber AI’s revenue base
- Expanded AI capability through world-leading summarisation and intelligence extraction from call recordings
- New vertical market access in insurance and financial services contact centres
- Daisee IP that is expected to strengthen Dubber AI’s differentiation on a global level
- A signal of balance sheet strength and the company’s capacity to execute on its stated growth platform strategy
The transaction is expected to complete in October 2026.
