The story

Founded in 2014 as an AI productivity layer for human contact-center agents, ASAPP shifted over time toward full automation of customer service interactions. The launch of GenerativeAgent® marked a decisive pivot from agent-assist to autonomous AI agents. By 2024, ASAPP had adopted Anthropic Claude via Amazon Bedrock as a core LLM backbone, achieving >90% automation rates at enterprise scale. The company now positions itself as an AI-native Customer Experience Platform (CXP) serving large enterprises — airlines, telecoms, financial services — rather than a tool for augmenting human agents.
