We build the agents we wanted to hand our own queues to

Synth started in a support team that was drowning. Five years on, we build, run and grade AI agents for more than 400 support teams, and we still read the transcripts every week.

Why we started

In 2021 our founders ran support at a fast-growing marketplace. The bots they bought guessed at policy, and the only way to know how they were doing was to read a sample of fifty conversations on a Friday.

So they built the opposite: agents that follow fixed flows for anything involving money, explain every step they take, and are graded on every conversation rather than a sample.

That is still the whole company. Everything we ship has to make an agent more useful to a customer, or easier for a team to trust.
