Builds AI agents for customer conversations
Sierra is the leading platform for customer-facing AI agents, working with many of the world's biggest brands — including The GAP, Rocket Mortgage, SoFi, Sutter Health, and SoftBank — to transform how they serve customers and grow their businesses. We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices across North America, Europe, and Asia.
We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and a commitment to balancing Family along the way. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do.
Sierra was co-founded by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor who first met while working together at Google over 20 years ago. Bret currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Open AI. Previously, he was co-CEO of Salesforce and CTO of Facebook. Clay spent 18 years at Google, where he most recently led Google Labs.

Sierra builds AI agents that handle customer conversations for businesses, from answering support questions to guiding purchases and managing account requests. Companies deploy the same agent across voice, chat, email, and messaging channels, with behavior shaped by their brand guidelines and business policies. Its Ghostwriter tool creates and updates agents from plain instructions or existing company materials, then tests changes before teams approve them. The platform connects agents to business systems so they take action, and Sierra charges for completed outcomes rather than the AI tokens consumed. Sierra was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States.
