# Yellow.ai Going Public via $550M SPAC Merger with Bluerock

> Yellow.ai, an enterprise platform for customer facing AI agents, is going public through a merger with Bluerock Acquisition Corp, a SPAC trading on Nasdaq. The deal values Yellow.ai at roughly $300 million before the money, with a combined company worth about $550 million once the merger closes. The company brings real scale to the listing. It says it handles around 16 billion conversations a year for more than 650 enterprise clients, putting it among the larger players actually selling agentic AI for support and sales rather than just promising it in a pitch deck. Expected to close in the second half of the year and trade under the ticker YAI, the deal is a rare public market moment for a conversational AI company. It offers a test of how investors value applied agent businesses once their revenue and margins are out in the open rather than hidden inside private rounds.
