What they did
Turning the SaaS into an AI product that does the job: three agents (Architect, Analyst, Coach). The Architect builds and deploys comp plans from a PDF/PowerPoint in minutes instead of a weeks-long implementation; Analyst and Coach cover report building and sales-rep engagement. Aim is to capture the ~$6 of services spend per $1 of software (consultants, admins) rather than cannibalize revenue.
- Stage
- Scale (~$7M ARR)
“And we are building three agents that we're going to be releasing this quarter, in June, that are called, yeah, that are called, uh, the Analyst, the Architect, and the Coach.”
“I believe that it will increase dramatically our revenue because we'll be able to capture dollars that currently are going into people and consultants.”
