NEWSFLASH ?????Today, I’m excited to announce OutRival, the AI platform our team has been quietly building and testing with customers over the past two years. After years of helping people break into tech with Career Karma, we’re expanding our mission. OutRival is designed to transform how businesses connect with their customers through Conversational AI, starting with Admissions Teams in Higher Education. With OutRival, customer-facing teams—both technical and non-technical—gain the tools to build AI Agents and Workflows that deliver personalized, 24/7 experiences, boosting satisfaction and driving real business results. We’re moving beyond outdated IVR (Interactive Voice Response) systems and antiquated contact center technology. OutRival empowers teams to collaboratively create AI solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing systems and data, enabling personalized, meaningful customer relationships at scale. Timur Meyster and I have made thousands of calls ourselves, learning exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when setting up customer experience and admissions teams, as well as managing Third-Party/Offshore solutions like BPOs. To be clear, Career Karma will leverage OutRival’s technology to continue helping people navigate their careers. If you’re interested in the future of customer experience and how OutRival will transform industries such as HR, Real Estate, Healthcare, and more, check out our blog post here: https://lnkd.in/gS7jF8MU Shout out to Roger Da silva for holding it down with the VIDEOOOOOOOOO!!!
