Episode Description
OpenAI launched Presence, and it seems like no one really noticed.
They should have.
Presence gives companies a way to build and manage real-time AI voice and chat agents across customer service, sales, HR, and IT, which could make this one of OpenAI’s most important enterprise launches yet.
The technology finally looks fast, natural, and capable enough to disrupt customer service at scale.
That could mean faster answers and fewer terrible phone trees.
Or an endlessly patient corporate gatekeeper.
We’re breaking down what OpenAI actually launched, what the early proof leaves out, and whether the AI customer service takeover has finally arrived.
