The customer's side of the conversation.
Sierra builds the AI agents enterprises use to serve their customers. π€« builds the agent that represents the customer. This is our cited study of Sierra β and how the two sides could meet, honestly, on the customer's terms.
A study and a proposed alignment from public information β never a claimed deal or endorsement.
Two agents, one honest handshake.
Sierra, founded in 2024 by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor, gives enterprises branded AI agents that resolve customer-service conversations across chat, voice, and more β priced on the outcomes they deliver. It is quickly becoming the enterprise standard for AI customer experience.
Here is the opportunity we see. Today a customer meets those agents alone. Tomorrow they can arrive with their own π€« Private Agent One β their advocate β so support, billing, and retention become an honest agent-to-agent conversation, with consent and a receipt on the customer's side. Sierra wins cleaner resolutions; the customer wins a fair deal. This study lays out who Sierra is, how the two sides align, and a plan we can act on.
Three parts, all cited.
A plan written for you.
If you build at Sierra β on the team, in leadership, or on the board β we wrote a page from your side of the table: why a customer with their own agent makes yours better, where we'd design together, and the honest path to a first conversation.
