The company we're building: AI agents for revenue teams

Built by operators who've run revenue floors in telco, insurance, and financial services, Adaptive deploys AI agents that run the conversations that grow your business — renewals, lead follow-up, and pipeline coverage, automated.

Adaptive AP Team ·

We’ve run revenue floors. Not the kind where you tour the contact center once a quarter and nod at the dashboard. The kind where you take the 2am escalation call yourself because a renewal just went dark and the rep who owns it is in a different time zone.

We’ve defended pipeline numbers in Monday morning meetings. We’ve watched deals slip because nobody followed up fast enough. We’ve seen renewals go quiet — not because the customer was unhappy, but because the outreach never came. We’ve been on the vendor side of implementations that promised AI and delivered a chatbot that couldn’t handle “I need to talk to someone about my bill.” We built Adaptive for telco operators, insurance teams, and financial services floors — the people who’ve lived this the longest.

We started Adaptive AP because we got tired of watching revenue operations run on tools built for a different problem.

What we actually believe

Revenue work has always been a simple problem with a hard execution: get the right conversation to the right person at the right time — and know when that conversation needs a human, not a script.

That’s not a technology problem. It’s an operations problem. And we solved it the way operators solve things: by building something that actually works in the real world, not just in a demo.

Our AI agents handle the volume. They use your tools — Salesforce, HubSpot, Amazon Connect, and 40+ more. They take real action. And they hand off to your team the moment a conversation needs a human touch.

We’re not here to replace your reps. We’re here to make sure they’re only running the conversations that actually need them.

An AI-first workforce

Every person at Adaptive — not just engineers — works with agentic AI tools as their primary workflow. Our go-to-market lead ships website changes with Claude Code. Our customer success team uses AI to analyze conversation patterns. Our ops team automates reporting with the same tools we sell.

We use Cursor, Claude Code, Replit, and Kiro — not as experiments, but as our daily operating system. We ship faster than teams ten times our size because we use the same technology we sell.

This has a consequence that most companies aren’t ready for: when AI scales your output, the traditional role hierarchy breaks down. A go-to-market lead who can ship code, write copy, analyze data, and deploy infrastructure isn’t a marketer — they’re an operator. Same for engineering. Same for product.

The Salesforce moment for revenue AI

Before Salesforce, CRM was an enterprise project. Six-figure implementations. Months of consulting. IT departments as gatekeepers. A company with 50 employees couldn’t touch it.

Salesforce changed that. They put CRM in a browser and charged by the seat. Suddenly any business with a credit card could manage their revenue relationships like an enterprise. It wasn’t just a pricing change — it was a democratization of capability.

We believe AI-powered revenue work is at the same inflection point.

Today, if you want AI running your sales and renewal conversations, you’re looking at Cognigy ($30K+ annual minimums, months of implementation), or Salesforce Agentforce ($125 per user per month plus a $50K–150K implementation engagement), or building something custom on Amazon Connect and hoping your engineering team can figure out the integration layer.

None of these are accessible to a 200-person sales organization that just wants to cover overnight inbound. Or a telco that loses renewals because nobody called back. Or an insurance team whose reps burn out on routine policy questions when they should be handling the accounts that actually need them.

We charge $0.49 per minute. No platform fees. No seat charges. No annual contracts. No implementation project. Your first AI agent goes live in an hour, built with you on the call, by someone who’s actually run a revenue floor. See how pricing works →

That’s the Salesforce moment. Not just cheaper — accessible.

What we’ve managed, and why it matters

We’ve been product managers, revenue floor operators, and engineering leads across cellular, telco, insurance, and financial products.

We don’t mention this to impress anyone. We mention it because it’s the reason the product works.

Every design decision, every handoff flow, every escalation rule, every pricing structure in Adaptive was built by people who’ve been on the receiving end of a bad vendor decision. We know what it feels like to deploy a platform that demos beautifully and breaks in production. We know what it costs when a deal slips because the follow-up was three days late.

We built Adaptive so that nobody has to sit through that again.

The uncomfortable truth about this industry

Most AI revenue vendors are technology companies that hired a few sales advisors. They build for the demo. They optimize for the investor pitch. They charge per resolution because it sounds outcome-based, even though a “resolution” is just a conversation where the customer stopped replying.

We’re an operations company that builds technology. We optimize for the Monday morning meeting where someone has to explain why the renewal number slipped. We charge per minute because a minute is a minute — you always know what you paid for and why.

That difference sounds small. It’s everything.

What’s next

We’re in stealth. Deliberately. We’re not raising a Series A to hire 200 people and figure out product-market fit later. We’re profitable on unit economics, and we’re growing by proving value one customer at a time.

Every customer gets a Live Build — one hour with our team, building their first AI agent together, connected to their actual tools, handling their actual use case. We load 1,000 minutes before the call ends. That’s roughly 400 revenue conversations.

We only offer this because we know what happens when people actually use it.

If you’ve been on the wrong side of a vendor relationship — if you’ve been promised AI and delivered a chatbot — we built this for you. Not as a pitch. As something real.
