Cresta builds AI software for customer contact centers: AI agents that handle calls and chats on their own, plus live coaching for the human agents who work alongside them. In 2018, years before ChatGPT, it put a transformer model, the design behind today's chatbots, to work guiding support agents in real time at Intuit, its first customer. Companies pay yearly for software that listens to conversations as they happen, prompts agents with answers and next steps, and studies every call to show managers what top performers do differently. Cresta was founded in 2017 at Stanford's AI Lab, with self-driving car pioneer Sebastian Thrun among its co-founders, and is based in Sunnyvale, California.
