Weave Communications to Acquire TrueLark, Accelerating AI-Powered Front Office Automation

Solution supercharges practice growth and patient experience with 24/7 availability

Weave (NYSE: WEAV), a leading all-in-one customer experience and payments software platform for small and medium-sized healthcare businesses (SMBs), today announced it has signed an agreement and plan of merger (“Merger Agreement”) to acquire TrueLark, an AI-powered receptionist and front-desk automation platform. This strategic acquisition will bring together Weave’s category leadership in healthcare communications with TrueLark’s agentic AI capabilities, unlocking a future of autonomous, intelligent workflows that transform how practices operate, engage patients, and grow revenue.

“TrueLark represents more than a new product, the acquisition positions Weave at the forefront of agentic AI in SMB healthcare. Their purpose-built, AI-first platform brings autonomous, always-on functionality to core front-office operations,” said Brett White, CEO of Weave. “The acquisition will deliver a virtual assistant that helps practices fill more appointments, improve responsiveness, and drive stronger patient engagement, all without increasing headcount.”

TrueLark’s platform leverages conversational AI to manage missed calls, text messages, and web chats to book and reschedule appointments, handle after-hours communication, and automate common administrative workflows to replicate and enhance front-office performance. This agentic AI model enables healthcare teams to shift from reactive communication to proactive engagement, ensuring every opportunity is captured, even outside of business hours.

The acquisition will expand Weave’s footprint in multi-location practices, where demand for intelligent automation is accelerating amid staffing shortages and operational strain. TrueLark has demonstrated strong product-market fit in appointment-based SMBs, including dental service organizations. This makes their solution extremely compelling for Weave’s SMB healthcare verticals. With an estimated $10 billion domestic and $22 billion international addressable market following the acquisition, Weave and TrueLark will be uniquely positioned to lead the category and deliver exceptional ROI to customers through autonomous, always-on front-desk operations.

“Joining Weave gives us the opportunity to bring our AI innovation to a broader audience while continuing to push the boundaries of what’s possible in healthcare automation,” said Srivatsan Laxman, CEO and co-founder of TrueLark. “We’re excited to accelerate the next generation of intelligent practice communication together.”

Agentic AI to Solve Front-Office Gaps in Healthcare

At the closing, Weave and TrueLark will combine their strengths to address one of the healthcare industry’s most pressing challenges: the widening gap between patient requests and front-office availability. As intelligent assistants evolve from reactive bots to autonomous agents, the benefits to providers are transformative:

  • Fill more appointments with 24/7 availability and predictive rebooking
  • Drive higher engagement through natural, AI-powered responses to patient inquiries
  • Unlock scalable efficiency for Dental Service Organizations, Management Service Organizations, and multi-location healthcare practices
  • Reduce burnout and administrative burden with autonomous task handling

With this acquisition, Weave is reinforcing its position as the intelligent operating system for healthcare practices, expanding its platform to include always-on, AI-powered agents that deliver real-world results.

Transaction Details

Under the terms of the agreement, Weave will acquire all outstanding equity and ownership interest in TrueLark for $35 million, which comprises $25 million in cash and $10 million in equity, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. Additionally, the agreement includes a potential performance-based award for certain key personnel paid annually in stock over a two year period. The transaction is expected to close in Q2 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
