Companies spend a lot of money and time trying to get contact centers dialed in. It's a dark art. It isn't easy. They do it because a high performing call center is just an insane driver of enterprise value. Done right it grows the business, drives down CAC, and drives up NPS. But the road there is parlous. Years of fulmination about direction of causality, paretos, staffing vs wait vs FCR, paying consultants for "best practices," etc. We @HNVRcap invested in @simpleailab to figure out this complex problem for companies. And now they have. Join our friends at @xai, @DoorDash and others and give them a try.

The amazing side effect is that the call center director’s job shifts from fixing underperformers to optimizing the top performer: Simple AI. With built-in experimentation tools, they can tune voice, speed, gender, and accent, and arm agents with rich customer context.

While big players chase enterprise use cases, Cat (@catheryn_li) saw a gap: consumers still don’t have a voice AI assistant that actually does things for them. The consumer version of Simple AI (@simpleailab) shocks people with its ability to get refunds, negotiate prices, and talk like a human. That “wow moment” spreads fast. And every impressed user becomes a potential enterprise champion: someone who says, “Our company’s call center should use this.”

When the first wave of LLMs hit mainstream, founders were stuck on the wrong question: “Is this a fad?” Meanwhile, early adopters were watching the biggest platform shift since the internet. YC recognized faster than most that AI wouldn’t be a vertical. It would be an underlying infrastructure layer for everything, just like electricity or cloud. And in Cat’s (@catheryn_li) words, the companies that don’t adopt AI? They simply won’t make it. @simpleailab

While companies use AI to automate internal workflows, Cat (@catheryn_li) noticed something missing: nobody was building tools that solved consumer tasks end-to-end. ChatGPT gives answers, not actions. Simple AI (@simpleailab) flipped that. It became a personal assistant that can call your Uber, check your email, manage your calendar, and book your restaurant, especially when those restaurants don’t exist on any platform. Because the truth is simple: If a business has no API, the phone number is the API. And AI can use it better than humans.

Omaha Steaks is a century-old American institution. And today, their inbound sales calls are handled by AI that never forgets an upsell and never gets tired. Simple AI (@simpleailab) collects customer info, handles multiple shipping addresses, and builds the perfect cart in seconds. Then it seamlessly pivots into high-margin upsells and subscriptions. This isn’t automation. It’s a sales engine. And yes, it’s outperforming humans on one of the most profitable parts of the business. @catheryn_li

AI can digest a customer’s entire history in a split second. That lets it make smarter, more personal decisions than human reps. When a caller casually shared that her family doesn’t eat chicken, the AI instantly locked that info in, and removed chicken from all future upsells. No mistakes, no awkward pitches. That’s the edge: Perfect memory, perfect recall, and perfect personalization. Humans can’t match that consistency. @simpleailab @catheryn_li
