Product & how it works

Why would I need an AI SDR agent?

Most B2B websites lose visitors the moment they show interest but aren't ready to fill out a form or wait for a reply. An AI SDR agent like Kai engages the moment someone lands on your site, asks the right qualifying questions, and books a meeting directly — while a human team would still be checking their inbox. It turns "I'll come back later" into a booked call, in the same visit.

How many leads do businesses typically lose without one?

Response speed matters more than most teams realize. Research from Harvard Business Review (Oldroyd, McElheran, Elkington, 2011 — an audit of 2,241 firms and 100,000+ web leads) found companies that respond to a lead within an hour are roughly 7x more likely to qualify it than those who wait just one hour longer — and the odds of reaching that lead at all drop 10x after the first hour. Static contact forms compound the problem: B2B web forms convert at just 2.3% on average, and forms with more than 7 fields see abandonment rates near 68% (Formstack, 2025). An AI SDR agent removes both failure points — instant engagement, and no form to abandon.

What is an AI SDR agent?

An AI SDR (Sales Development Representative) agent is software that handles the first stage of your sales process — engaging website visitors, asking qualifying questions, and booking meetings — the same job a human SDR does, but instantly and around the clock. Kai is Agentic Prism's AI SDR agent: it talks to visitors in real time, qualifies them against your criteria, and puts a call straight on your team's calendar.

How does Kai qualify leads (BANT)?

Kai uses the BANT framework — Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline — the same qualification model human sales teams have used for decades. As Kai chats with a visitor, it naturally works out whether they have the budget and authority to make a decision, what problem they're actually trying to solve, and how soon they need a solution. Only genuinely qualified conversations get booked onto your team's calendar — no wasted meetings with the wrong contact.

Does Kai replace my human sales team?

No — Kai handles the repetitive, time-sensitive first touch (engaging, qualifying, booking) so your human team can focus on what they're actually best at: running the conversation once it matters, building relationships, and closing. Kai is a force multiplier for a sales team, not a replacement for one.

How is Kai different from a chatbot or contact form?

A contact form makes a visitor wait for a reply — and most never even finish filling it out. A generic chatbot follows scripted decision trees and can't handle a real conversation. Kai does neither: it holds a genuine, grounded conversation, asks the right qualifying questions in the moment, checks real calendar availability, and books the meeting itself — no hand-off delay, no back-and-forth email chain.

What is an AI support agent, and how is Remy different from a helpdesk bot?

An AI support agent resolves customer questions the moment they're asked, instead of routing them into a ticket queue. Remy is Agentic Prism's AI support agent — it answers directly from your own knowledge base (product docs, policies, FAQs), so answers are accurate and specific to your business, not generic. Unlike a basic helpdesk bot limited to a fixed decision tree, Remy handles real, varied questions and only escalates to a human when it genuinely can't resolve something — with full context attached, so nothing gets lost in the handoff.

How does Remy know the right answer instead of making things up?

Remy is grounded in your own knowledge base — it retrieves the relevant product, policy, and FAQ content before answering, rather than generating a response from general knowledge. If it can't find a confident, well-supported answer in your actual content, it escalates to a human with full context instead of guessing.

Trust & compliance

Is Kai/Remy GDPR compliant?

Our system's functionality is built and operated with GDPR compliance in mind — data handling, storage, and processing follow GDPR-aligned practices. Whether your overall business use of the agent is fully GDPR compliant also depends on your own data practices, privacy notices, and legal basis for processing — we're glad to walk through the specifics with you.

What happens to visitor data collected during a chat?

Conversation data (name, email, and chat content a visitor shares) is used only to qualify the lead, book the meeting, and — with consent — follow up. It's stored in your own self-hosted system, not sold or shared with third parties, and used strictly for the purpose the visitor engaged with the agent for.

Can a prospect/customer talk to a real human instead of the AI?

Yes. Kai books a real meeting with your human team as soon as a visitor is qualified — the AI is the first touch, not the only one. For Remy, any question it can't confidently resolve is escalated to a human with the full conversation context, so the customer never has to repeat themselves.

Does the AI ever make automated decisions about a person?

No fully automated decisions are made about a person without human involvement further down the process — Kai qualifies and books, and Remy answers or escalates, but decisions with real consequence (closing a deal, resolving a dispute) always involve your team.

Commercial & practical

How long does it take to set up Kai or Remy for my business?

Full implementation typically takes around 3 weeks — though this can vary depending on the complexity of your knowledge base, meeting distribution across your team, and any additional product customization for specific functionality you request.

Does Kai/Remy work with my existing CRM/calendar/helpdesk?

Yes — Kai and Remy integrate with Google Calendar and any calendar system your company already uses, plus all major CRMs on the market, including custom-built CRMs.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on your setup, volume, and which agents you need — there's no one-size-fits-all number. Ask Kai directly for a quote →

Do I need technical knowledge to manage this?

No — your full setup is configured by a dedicated expert on our team, so you can stay focused on your business while we handle onboarding. The system is customized around your specific needs and adjusted professionally as your business evolves.

Comparison

AI SDR agent vs. human SDR — what's the real difference?

A human SDR brings judgment, relationship-building, and nuance — but works limited hours, costs a full salary, and can only handle one conversation at a time. An AI SDR agent like Kai works 24/7, engages every visitor instantly, and never lets a lead go cold waiting for a reply — but it's not a replacement for human relationship-building once a deal gets complex. Most effective setups use both: AI for instant first-touch qualification, humans for the conversations that matter most.

Is an AI SDR agent worth it for a small/growing business?

Often more so than for a large enterprise — smaller teams can't staff round-the-clock coverage or instantly respond to every visitor, which is exactly where most leads are lost. An AI SDR agent gives a small team the same instant-response capability as a much larger sales org, without the headcount cost.
