Where startups are betting on AI.
Six use cases that let small teams ship faster, sell wider and stay lean as they scale.
Engineering velocity
Coding agents scaffold features, write tests and clear review comments, letting small teams ship at larger-team pace.

Go-to-market motion
Agents research accounts, personalize outbound sequences and qualify inbound leads before a rep ever picks up.
3 to 5x pipeline per rep
Customer support
Agents resolve tier-one tickets from docs and past threads, so founders and engineers stay out of the inbox.
50 to 70% of tickets auto-resolved
Product and user insight
Agents synthesize interviews, tickets and usage telemetry into themes that direct the roadmap week by week.
Days to hours for research
Content and demand gen

Back office and finance

1 to 2 FTE of work absorbed
