Each of these is a real decision Sierra is working through, written so you can make the call yourself — incomplete information, someone who pushes back, no answer key.
Sierra is an enterprise B2B software provider that builds branded AI agents for customer service and commerce, serving mid-market and large businesses across retail, financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, and subscription industries. Its agents resolve customer requests across chat, SMS, WhatsApp, email, voice, and ChatGPT by taking actions in connected company systems, helping millions of shoppers and members every day track and return orders, find the right product, book services, and resolve issues in each brand's own voice. Its healthcare agents reach over 50% of U.S. families, and one in three of the world's leading banks use Sierra. Its agents also enable citizens to access social services, report fraud, and understand complex government systems. It partners with a large and growing number of retailers spanning apparel and beauty, grocery and big-box, home and auto, consumer services, marketplaces, and consumer technology. Sierra sells under an outcomes-based pricing model. It holds FedRAMP High certification, which enables it to bring its technology to partners in the US public sector, and its platform is certified to PCI DSS Level 1.
