About the startup
AI customer support software with a bring-your-own-AI model. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini, pay your provider directly: no AI markups. Try Optlo free. An Intercom or Zendesk alternative for support teams that would rather not pay per resolution. The AI runs on your own OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini account, so the token bill arrives from your provider and Optlo only charges for the platform.
