Hustling in Taiwan

Albert and Curtis slammed their fists on the table and said: “Enterprise contact centers don’t have accurate NLP to serve non-English customers!” Henceforth, they led a small team on a shoestring at National Taiwan University, solving pain points for Proto’s original customers: 60-day resolution times, 3-month manual chat structuring, and machine understanding of mixed-language (i.e. Chinglish).

Learning in Canada

The team joined the NextAI and Creative Destruction Lab accelerators in Toronto. Within the North American startup ecosystem, Proto was at the forefront of global team distribution and emerging market focus, and leveraged lessons learned to venture back East.

Supersonic in Asia-Pacific

Proto crushed it in Asia’s contact centers, serving the priority Gaming and Financial verticals and investing in NLP patents and an expanded AICX product suite. The year’s recurring revenue objective was surpassed, delivering a x5 valuation increase to shareholders.

Expanding across emerging markets

Proto adopted a management philosophy akin to the immortalized words of Mr. Biggie Smalls: “Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart’s in it, and live the phrase sky’s the limit.” As such, the team is achieving first-mover advantage in its verticals across emerging markets ahead of eventual consolidation in the AICX industry.

Automating first contact

Proto was the first to deliver AICX technology to the recently arrived alien species from Kepler-452b, staying true to its mission to include everyone in the conversational AI revolution.
