HOW WE WORK

Concierge First, Then the Whole Roadmap

We start in front of a queue with a concierge that resolves up to 30% from day one and escalates the rest with context. Then we execute the roadmap, integrating your systems to take resolution as far as it will go.
Roadmap: Today’s customer care queue, with contacts resolved by the concierge or escalated with context

Integration Point

Where we plug in
We confirm the inbound and outbound handoff into your telephony, chatbot, CRM, etc.
Agreed success targets for resolution, customer satisfaction and first contact resolution

Success Measures

Agreed before anything goes live
Resolution, CSAT and FCR, tracked together, measured in your data.
Day-one concierge routing and resolution before full integration

Concierge

Intelligent routing

We sit in front of your IVR and resolve up to 30% of contacts from day one.

Resolution rate improving through ongoing optimization

Optimize

Achieve your performance goals fast
Since we get paid on performance, we work quickly to get you the best results and graduate to a broader roadmap.

Cadence: a project kickoff, scoping, and weekly review checkpoints with your team.

Five Stages, One Team

01
Discover and Define
Use case selection, API and telephony assessment, volumes and authentication requirements.
02
Proof of Concept
Launch the concierge to hit up to 30% resolution quickly while maintaining CSAT.
03
Build and Integrate

Flows, API integrations, reporting metrics and guardrails, built by our team working with yours.

04
Go Live and Ramp
A controlled launch and volume ramp, monitored closely against predetermined success metrics.
05
Continuous Optimization

Ongoing tuning from real call data, with new use cases layered onto the live program.

Enterprise trust from day one.

Security, governance, compliance and operational robustness are built alongside the proof of concept rather than after it, so they never slow the build, and everything is validated before any production traffic flows.

30% Resolution with Zero Integration

Before your APIs are ready

Knowledge, policy and conversational work resolve roughly 30% of inbound before a single account action API is integrated, so integration and security review run on their own timelines. Full roadmap takes that to as much as 90%.

Send Us the Mess

Don't build a knowledge base first. That's our job

Send whatever you have, however scattered: your knowledge bases, call recordings, chat logs and agent training material. We compare what your agents actually say with what’s written down, come back with the discrepancies (“you say A here and B there, is A for current customers and B for new?”), and build a single source of truth that stays current.

Recordings Alongside Documents

What your agents really say

We marry your written content with your call recordings to see what agents are actually telling customers.

Discrepancies, Then Recommendations

What to target first, and what it’s worth
You get a list of conflicts to settle and a ranked view of which intents to automate first, sized by volume and cost.

We Sit in Front of What You Already Run

Keep your CCaaS for telephony, queues and agents

Calls hit us first. We resolve what we can and hand everything else into the right queue with the full conversation attached, so every intent we resolve saves agent hours and tool seats without a migration.

Your Customer

Phone or chat

Voice line, chat, SMS, web, app, etc.

Candor, Built in Your Environment

SIP and telephony layer

Direct SIP preferred, PSTN with proven middleware as the fallback

Orchestration and guardrails

A dedicated assistant per conversation

Speech and language models

From leading providers, chosen per queue and swapped when a better model ships

Knowledge base

Rebuilt from your content, recordings and training material

Reporting dashboard

Behind your own single sign on

Your Systems, Your Controls

CCaaS and queues

Unchanged. We transfer what we don’t resolve, with full context

CRM and order APIs

Account, billing, network and order systems

Authentication and SMS

Your identity checks, and text links for hard to voice details

Customer data and recordings

Under your access, logging and retention controls

Built and maintained inside your own environment, encrypted at rest and in transit.

What It Costs to Start

Nothing upfront, nothing ongoing, no minimum

Every Component Is on Us

Speech, orchestration and models
We pick, build and maintain every component at our own cost, and when a model is deprecated or a price moves, that’s ours to absorb.

Only Pay for Resolutions

Based on however you measure resolution
We map to your budget definitions to make sure that our rate per resolution provides you guaranteed opex savings.

Or We'll Bill How You Like

Where resolution is the wrong measure
If you prefer to prequalify customers, reduce AHT but have a human touch, or otherwise don’t want the bot to fully resolve, we work with you to provide a bespoke model.

Your Own Delivery Team

A named team, a written plan and a weekly meeting

A detailed project plan
written by us, with dates you can hold us to
A weekly meeting
on progress, blockers and what resolved
A dedicated account team
that knows your queues by name
Committee support
for the security review, procurement and the stakeholders it has to pass
A light standing commitment
from your side once the requirements are approved

Where We Usually Start

Representative use cases, built to your brand, flows and systems

Tech Support and Troubleshooting

Our recommended starting point
Callers explain the issue in their own words, and the bot diagnoses it, resolves it or guides them through the fix.

Account and Billing

Straight from your systems
Verified callers get balances, bill explanations and plan details instantly from your account and billing systems.

Outages, Appointments, and Moves

End to end
Outage status, technician visit booking, and moves or transfers of service, completed inside the conversation.

Voice and Chat From One Build

One bot, every channel
The same bot runs as a voice call, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, etc.

Warm Handover to Your Agents

Nobody repeats themselves
Full conversation context passes to the human agent through your CRM, cutting repeat questions and handle time.

Data Capture by Text

For the details nobody wants to spell out
Hard to voice details (email addresses, street addresses, etc.) can be captured by an SMS web form link or other non voice methods, so the call keeps moving.

Scope Your Proof of Concept

Bring a queue you’d be open to piloting. We’ll bring the plan, the success measures and the commercials.
