ChipBrain

What if you knew exactly what your prospects and customers were feeling? What if every member of your team could read the emotional and conversational cues of the client like a book? That’s why we built ChipBrain.

Effective communicators close more deals. Our emotionally intelligent AI assistant supports sales professionals by providing real-time feedback on the emotional response of the client to their messaging, pinpointing key turning points in the conversation when they were particularly effective or ineffective. Over time, our adaptive intelligence platform allows us to deliver tailored recommendations specific to the client, the company, and the representative.

We believe that artificial intelligence can teach people to be more emotionally intelligent, more persuasive, and ultimately more effective in conversation and negotiation. We imagine a world in which our AI can help any human in any company - in any market - sell anything.
