   Zenzap raises $44M for AI workplace chat aimed at frontline staff

   Zenzap, an Israeli startup building a private workplace messenger with AI agents, has raised $44 million from investors including Bessemer, Lightspeed and The Garage, plus individuals such as Wix president Nir Zohar and former EY Israel managing partner Yoram Tietz. Chinese outlet Zhidx, citing CTech, reports the figure is cumulative: an $11 million seed round in 2022 plus a $33 million Series A in August 2025 co-led by Bessemer and Lightspeed, not a single round. The mobile-first app targets frontline workers in hospitality, construction, healthcare and fast food, offering group chats, tasks, calendar integration and AI voice and search on a free tier, with paid plans from $51 per month for up to 20 users and credit-based pricing for AI agents and call transcription. Zenzap lists FedEx, Dollar General, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Casey's and Regal as clients but has not disclosed revenue, paying-customer counts or conversion rates.

   McDonald's faces antitrust class action over AI-driven dynamic pricing

   McDonald's is facing a proposed class-action antitrust suit alleging it coordinated prices with its franchisees using AI-generated price recommendations, a practice the plaintiffs say dates back to 2019 across roughly 14,000 US restaurants. McDonald's disputes the claims, saying "AI does not set the price of a Big Mac or any other menu item" and that franchisees set their own prices. A lawyer for the plaintiffs accused the chain of "leveraging its troves of data and its franchised system to nickel-and-dime consumers down to the last French fry."
