(I've been tracking this product's development over the last 6 months and have been excited enough to post about them. Here is a blurb about the product's founder - Jose's - own words)
TL;DR: We're building the first-of-its-kind Live Video Agent that can handle sales and onboarding calls. Imagine a sales rep or onboarding specialist on Zoom—our agent can do it all.
What makes our agent unique is its ability to log into software and perform human-like demos, showcasing how the software works. Our agent is trained on the UI to present every use case based on the customer's needs.
We train our agent using videos of sales and onboarding calls, giving us two major advantages: any previously asked question can be answered by the agent, and onboarding is seamless and less time-consuming compared to human sales reps.
We launched on Product Hunt a couple of weeks ago, and our SDR agent made 143 calls, securing 8 meetings, which converted into 3 customers. This is our proof of concept—if an unknown brand can acquire customers with an AI agent, imagine what an established brand can achieve.
We're just starting and would love to get feedback from anyone interested.
Not really funny. When I ask it to perform regular tasks, it does it with no sarcasm or dark shades in the way it is performed. Not really the evil twin of ChatGPT
We've found some of the best engineers from the open source communities, but it's never been an easy task. Outbound on this has always been a lot of work, with low response rates.
Good to see a two sided solution for this. Keen to try out soon
While their current focus is on badges and rewards using tokens, I see other possible directions for this product that could transform the opensource landscape. The founders seem to be looking at this direction in the mid-to-long term as per a comment on ProductHunt.
The early contributors to an Open source project often go unrewarded when it becomes a commercial hit.
Cases in point - Mongo, Hadoop (Hortonworks), Memsql, etc. started out with a good amount of community support, and later went on to becoming commercial successes. While they recognized a lot of the contributors through various programs, and sometimes hired them in, the others who didn't join their journey full time might not have benefited.
Many other companies start with a "Develop in the open" philosophy now, despite being VC backed from early stages - cases in point Meteor, Gitlab, Appsmith, etc. The community engagement is slightly on the lower side once the project is well staffed. The motivation seems to go down.
What if the contributors could have a pie of the company? A very small pie that is proportional to the importance of the feature or bug fix at that point in time. But, as the company grows, the value of the pie grows. Just like an ESOP, or any token. Could say a project set aside 20% of their enterprise value as tokens, and use them as rewards to drive their roadmap with the community? Higher the importance, higher the bounty. That could change the dynamics around OSS contributions, which are currently driven more by the interest of the contributor more than the importance of a feature or a fix to the project.
I see Aviyel could also potentially drive such a shift.
Very helpful list. But it would be good to see a list that is organized around objectives than the current set of categories. Ultimately, one asks these questions to get a certain outcome or information. Starting from there would be better.
Thanks for your kind comment and the feedback. That’s a great idea. When we created the categories, the idea was to bucket these questions based on certain type of information only like collecting feedback or understanding work relationships but I agree these can be more crisp and specific.
We use a mix of confluence and slack groups. We have one slack group per type of learning (RCAs for failures, best practices in engineering / manufacturing / logistics, etc., Top of the mind thoughts, interesting reads). We use confluence to do detailed documentation or writing, and slack to share and drive visibility.
Another handy feature would be - ability to call teammates from within hipchat. When I read the title, that is the feature I expected. But even this is pretty neat.
So, just a heads up, but at Atlassian Summit, they announced. video chat support for HipChat. My understanding is that their is also support for not using the video as well.
There was a (beta?) video calling feature that existing in the Adobe Air app only, but since most sane people have switched over to the native apps it disappeared.
I agree it would be a feature I'd love to see as long as it doesn't bloat the apps.
A fixed price would give peace of mind to someone like me. A pay as you go plan would just increase the uncertainty. I would always choose a fixed price plan, unless the cost saving with the pay as you go plan would be significantly lower given the average number of chats that would happen on my site.
For a small 4-6 people team, a comparable product will cost you about $100. Even if you have 10 chat conversations a day, it will cost only about $19 for all the team members to participate using Gaglers.
We think encouraging more team members to participate in the conversations gives the company lot of good karma with your customers as well.
