Conversica pioneered conversational AI assistants for revenue teams. Relai takes a different shape: one agent across WhatsApp, email and phone, with full memory of every contact and real sales technique — built to fit SMB and mid-market teams on the CRM they already use.
Most AI sales tools — Conversica included on these points — treat each message in isolation, are tuned to chat rather than sell, and stop at messaging. Relai is built the other way around: it remembers, it sells, and it coaches your reps.
Most AI agents are effectively stateless — they answer a message with little idea of who the person is or what was said before. Relai holds the entire history of each contact across WhatsApp, email, calls and notes, and processes that history with AI in the background so the agent walks into every conversation already knowing the story.
Generic bots are trained to chat, not to sell. Relai's conversation agent is built on real sales methodology — diagnosing the need, handling the objection behind the objection, trading value, and moving to a booked meeting — so it advances the deal instead of just replying.
Relai doesn't just message leads and hand off — it coaches your reps. Before each call it writes a playbook for that specific contact from their full history: what to say, which options actually fit them (bias-free), and exactly how to sell to this particular person.
Relai takes the desk work off your reps AND prepares them for every call. For each specific contact it builds a tailored playbook from that contact's entire history and the live situation — so your closer walks in knowing exactly how to win this person.
Not generic tips. Relai tells your rep how to open, what to say and what to avoid — drawn from everything this contact has ever said and done.
Every buyer has a style; some tactics land, others don't. Relai reads how this person objects and behaves, then hands your rep the approach that actually works on them.
It reads your live stock and surfaces the options that genuinely fit this client — removing rep bias and anything out of scope for them.
Instead of guessing before a call, your rep opens with the perfect per-contact playbook — so their time goes into selling, not preparing.
