Opkit is joining 11x! I'm beyond excited to announce that Opkit's team has been acquired by 11x.ai, the super-fast-growing AI startup behind Alice, the world’s first AI sales rep, and Jordan, the world’s best AI agent for sales calls. At 11x, my co-founder Justin Ko and I will be leading development on Alice 2.0, a fully reimagined version of 11x’s core “digital worker” that is based on cutting-edge agentic technologies instead of traditional LLM techniques like prompt chaining and fine-tuning (shoutout to my friends at LangChain and Anthropic for their help with this!). Opkit was one of the first startups to launch a vertical-focused AI phone solution (we did it for healthcare). Our team has deep experience building AI products and using AI tools. We're excited to bring this experience to a new company and problem space. My journey to 11x began in July through a conversation with my friend and former Brex colleague Prabhav Jain, now 11x's CTO. When he introduced me to Alice, I was honestly floored. As a SaaS founder, I know how tough sales outreach can be - hours spent learning complex tools like Apollo, Instantly, and Clay, crafting email offers, and wrestling with deliverability issues. 11x makes all of this work irrelevant by giving founders and revenue leaders Alice, a best-in-class SDR that never sleeps. I can't over-emphasize how transformative this would have been for Opkit! Today, with the announcement of 11x's series B, Opkit acquisition, and Alice 2.0, I couldn't be prouder. We built Alice 2.0 in less than two months. It's a testament to the incredible team we've assembled here and our company's obsession with speed (“accelerate or die”). To our Opkit customers: thank you for your support. As we begin winding-down the Opkit platform over the next few months, we’ll be working to ensure a smooth transition for everyone. To my investors: thank you for believing in us and for supporting us through every pivot.?You all are world-class. To my co-founder Justin: I love you bro! More updates to come, but in the meantime, check out the press release in the comments. Also, if you’re a founder or engineer and interested in learning more about roles at 11x, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'd love to connect! #opkit #startup #founder #acquisition #sales #ai #artificialintelligence #digitalworkers #llms #largelanguagemodels #aiagents #agent #agents #ycombinator
