From a @firstround company’s monthly update: “By leveraging LLMs, our support team went from overwhelmed and underwater to having nothing to do within one month of automation. We think we can repeat this across every part of the business in Q2.”
Jon and Jeff are type of founders we’re obsessed with finding: they move insanely fast, they’ve gone unseasonably deep on this problem, they’re learn-it-alls, and they just want to build the most incredible products for their customers. We feel lucky to be their partner.
