Our take
The frustration surrounding calling businesses is a universal sentiment. Nobody enjoys enduring long hold times when trying to inquire about an order or encountering voicemail when urgently attempting to make a reservation at a local restaurant. However, through the power of AI, the broken calling experience can be repaired.
Slang is a platform designed to tackle this problem head-on. By automatically answering calls for restaurants, retailers, and other businesses, Slang acts as a team member and delivers accurate responses that help drive increased revenues. It enables businesses to provide enhanced customer service while streamlining their operations.
Emerging from stealth mode in 2023, Sland has made waves with the announcement of a successful funding round. With this momentum, the company sets its sights on integrating its product with reservation management platforms while unveiling a host of advanced functionalities fueled by generative AI. This strategic expansion holds the potential to revolutionise the phone experience, delivering enhanced benefits for businesses and customers alike.
