Our mission and path

Our journey began just over a year ago with a focus on redefining customer service through AI. We’ve already seen remarkable success:

• Pushing the boundaries of automation: We’ve significantly automated customer service interactions for several of our partners. For example, Omnie has achieved 50% true automation, MFI Medical 45%, and Clove 40%. These businesses, offering diverse services across various sectors, have quickly benefited from our solutions.
• Transforming e-commerce: Our technology streamlines e-commerce support processes, increases customer satisfaction, and reduces response times. For instance, MyVariations experienced a 70% reduction in their initial response time using our technology.
• Leading industry change: Automation is no longer a convenience; it’s a pivotal strategy for e-commerce success. Recognition such as our selection for the AI Grant validates our approach and motivates us to set new benchmarks in AI customer care.

About the AI Grant

Founded by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, investors in successful tech companies like Figma, Stripe, and Character.ai, the AI Grant is designed to propel the most promising AI startups to new heights. As a leading accelerator program, it emphasizes pragmatic applications over theoretical solutions.

Startups selected for the AI Grant receive a $250,000 investment through a no-cap SAFE, $350,000 in Azure credits, and $250,000 in additional credits. They algo gain access to an exclusive community of industry leaders, including David Holz (CEO of Midjourney), Andrej Karpathy (a founding member of OpenAI), Patrick Collison (CEO of Stripe), and Tobi Lütke (CEO of Shopify). The program culminates in a Demo Day, where companies present their innovations to a select group of world-class investors.
