The AI-native platform alternative to the Agentforce / Fin mashup

Fin and Agentforce work on their own, but their CX offering is an integration roadmap, not a road tested product.

Salesforce is buying it’s way into Agentic CX. In June the company acquired Fin to strengthen Agentforce, but the road ahead is long—two products, two data models, one integration that doesn’t close until Q4 2027

The platform behind high-growth teams
We’ve been building AI-native since day one. Not bolted on. Not an afterthought. Not to play catch-up.
Faster

Live in 30 days, not a multi-year platform integration. Knowledge updates ship in minutes, not weeks— one system, no change-request queue across vendors.

Simpler

One data model, one source of truth, one partner accountable for the outcome — instead of owning the seams between a CRM, a bolted-on bot, and an iPaaS layer.

More value

One platform replaces the license stack — bot, QA, VoC, insights, and the integration middleware between them. Customers see ~31%lower operating cost.
