Our Thesis
We believe AI agents have an untapped potential.
Right now, agents are seen as powerful but limited to the role of personal assistants. For AI agents to truly integrate into human society, they need to take on independent, human roles, whether as sales reps or customer support agents.
And for that to happen, agents need a layer of trust that they currently lack. People shouldn't feel uneasy when they are talking to an AI. They should feel comfortable.
We are building this emotional layer of trust between humans and AI.
We imagine a future where agents become treated as friends, co-workers, and people instead of tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Chert
Chert is an AI BDR that gets businesses customers by running outbound lead outreach and conversion through iMessage.
How are Chert agents different from other outreach tools?
We use iMessage as our outbound channel instead of email or LinkedIn. That allows us to bypass spam filters and reach leads in a trusted personal space. Instead of trying to close in a single cold email, we reach out with a highly personalized opener and sell over a brief conversation. This leads to a significantly higher response rate and conversion rate.
What industries does Chert work for?
Chert works across a range of industries. We currently have demos for apartment leasing (Tour) and recruiting (Symbal), but the platform is built to support any industry where personalized lead outreach drives conversions.
Can I intervene in conversations manually?
Yes. You can monitor ongoing conversations in real-time and intervene manually whenever needed through our dashboard.
Do I need to bring lead phone number data to use Chert?
Not at all! We can do phone number leadgen for you or you can bring your own.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes! We offer a free trial so you can explore all key features and see how Chert fits your outreach needs.
