Two IIT Bombay and IIM Ahmedabad alumni, Vijay and Abhishek, created Karta, an AI agent, to revolutionize customer support.
Karta aims to fully resolve user queries with empathy and reliability, unlike traditional chatbots.
With GenAI technology, Karta can gather and reason over complex data to enhance support capabilities.
Karta's flagship AI support agent, Yara, has successfully deflected 70% of tickets for SmartStaff.
Karta's proprietary memory graph and reasoning technology allows it to handle complex support flows effectively.
The team behind Karta consists of experienced individuals from top companies, fostering a culture of ownership and learning.
Karta has gained traction in sectors like fintech by automating tasks such as KYC, refunds, and onboarding.
Despite challenges like data readiness and trust issues, Karta is preparing to raise its seed round to expand and evolve further.
Karta exemplifies how AI can be both efficient and empathetic, solving complex problems while maintaining a human touch.
Advice from the founders includes understanding the problem deeply, engaging with users regularly, and prioritizing team over ideas.
Karta's goal is to become the default AI employee for customer-facing teams in India and beyond, emphasizing reliability and delightful customer experience.
