In this episode of Building The Future Of, I'm speaking with Alex Marantelos, co-founder and CEO of Intryc. Intryc uses AI to automate quality assurance for customer support.

This creates the risk of negative interactions going unnoticed, potentially leading to churn and non-compliance. Intryc's AI can evaluate 100% of tickets and extract customer insights in real time.
