Love the direction. Of this. For solo founders could be a godsend. How will it handle hand offs?

Soon we'll have agents selling to agent buyers. Seriously though, very cool

Really interesting approach. I’d love to know how the AI handles complex technical questions and when it decides to hand the conversation over to a human AE. Congrats on the launch! 👏

Congrats @tarekabi & @samabi on your launch! This is a great product that addresses one of the most difficult aspect of running a business. I am just wondering if your AI agents have options for African voices. Say a local product built in Africa for Africans wanted to use River, would that fit in naturally?

letting AI actually close deals feels bold lol. is the demo part usable on its own if im not ready for the full thing?

The $25K deal size cutoff is the most honest design choice here. Most AI sales tools claim they can close anything, which immediately raises red flags.


Thanks for your honesty 😊

@samabi love this, went through the live demo on your site and booked a session to chat more. I think this solves a great need for founders.

An AI that qualifies and demos consistently would save most teams real hours before it ever closes a thing. The closing claim is the ambitious part, because B2B decisions happen in rooms the AE is not in. Show me it nurturing a slow deal and I am paying attention.

This is nice. How long does it take to train River to sound like a specific company's actual sales style?

Congrats on the launch🚀 this is such a smart application of Voice AI to a real pain point in B2B sales! Instant lead response is often the difference between a closed deal and a cold lead, so automating that first touch is genuinely brilliant.
How do you ensure the AI's tone and pitch stay aligned with a company's brand voice, especially for businesses with more nuanced or consultative sales processes?

This is an excellent idea, and I’m currently facing exactly this problem, especially with multilingual products. After my new product launched, I don’t have enough customer service staff to introduce it to users. It would be a great experience if AI avatars could take over client communication and product demos. I believe this will bring tremendous help to both B2C and B2B businesses.

I tried chatting with it just now, and I found it often fails to fully grasp what I’m trying to say, and I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my expression. Besides, can it actually operate my product interface to conduct real demonstrations for users? How are real cases and practical data implemented here?

Having an AI account executive instantly join a call, share its screen, run the demo, and handle objections is honestly wild :)

As a founder, the idea of never losing an inbound lead just because nobody is available feels very compelling, especially for smaller teams where repeating the same demo can consume the entire day. The hardest part is probably knowing when the AI should keep selling and when a deal needs human judgment. Curious how River detects that moment, especially with unusual objections or larger accounts?

the way you framed this around "no lead ever waits" is honestly such a sharp angle, most voice ai stuff feels gimmicky but the demo call flow sounds like it was actually thought through
