It was revolutionary. We linked on a shared curiosity in speech recognition applied sciences and determined to companion over a dinner at a steakhouse within the Union Sq. neighborhood of San Francisco.
A lot has occurred since then. Refrain helped create the Conversational Intelligence software program class that advanced from AI curiosity to must-have for contemporary gross sales leaders. The corporate gained over prospects like Zoom, MongoDB, Invoice.com, Adobe, Docusign, amongst many others.
