Our Vision
Calling a business shouldn’t feel like a robot-hostage situation, where you’re forced to listen to horrible music and can't reach a human. That’s why we started Slang.ai . We use the latest AI and audio wizardry to make transacting via voice so enjoyable it’s more human than human. By 2030, we will save businesses and consumers 1 billion minutes of precious time while transforming voice channels into the preferred mode of communication.
Our Values
- Build for better. If it doesn't make life better, we don't build it.
- Collaborate playfully. We support each other, joke around, and keep our egos in low orbit.
- Keep growing. We welcome diverse perspectives that challenge our own thinking.
- Give a sh*t. Everyone is an owner and we care about doing right by everyone involved.
- Make lightspeed look good. We learn and adapt while maintaining quality.
