   The Hook

   Every Business as a Contact

   “My name is Raj, I'm an engineer here at Bland, and recently I've been working on a way to get every business as a contact in your phone. So I was interacting with these cool personal agents like MetaMuse and Instinct...”

   Problem Agitation

   Phone Calls vs Messaging

   “And one of the things I also noticed about myself was when I ever wanted to interact with a business, sometimes you call in, you're standing on hold... I prefer to use messaging because it's asynchronous.”

   Product Reveal

   Instant Setup via URL

   “And so that was kind of the inspiration behind, well, why can't every business just have a branded agent within your phone? If I want to interact with this business, I can just basically text them as if I'm texting a friend. This is for anyone with a website. You can either come to our Blandy agent, text in your link, and you'll get a contact in your phone in under two minutes.”

   Automated Agent Extraction & Customization

   “You give us your URL. Our agent will then in real time pull your logo, your company name, pull information about your company, and we create an agent, a Bland agent, that can not only be used for messaging, it can be used for voice or other different channels... And we also give that agent an actual personality... you can edit on your own.”

   Thinking Cards & In-Chat Payments

   “Beyond just the contact itself being your brand, one of the things that we really wanted to deliver was thinking cards... The agent can actually in real time browse your website, pull say real-time rates, pull real-time metrics... Another thing is if you want to be able to have customers buy your product within a conversation and actually give you a payment, that's something that can also be done.”

   Omnichannel Memory

   “I think one of the coolest things is after you create this branded agent, you can have a conversation and you can call into it and continue that conversation. The context is shared between all of our channels... It basically unifies the experience that you might get from all these different apps into the app they already have.”
