Real-Time Call Guidance AI

Balto delivers real-time AI guidance to call center agents during live customer conversations, surfacing suggested responses, alerts, and checklists as calls unfold.

About

Balto is a real-time call guidance platform that listens to live phone conversations between agents and customers and delivers in-the-moment AI recommendations — suggested responses, dynamic checklists, alerts for compliance language, and de-escalation prompts — directly to the agent's screen as the conversation unfolds rather than providing feedback only during post-call coaching sessions. The core insight behind Balto's design is that the moment of highest impact for agent performance improvement is during the live call, when the agent can act on guidance immediately, rather than in a post-call debrief where the agent must recall and apply feedback to a future conversation with a different customer. By surfacing context-aware suggestions in real time, Balto reduces the performance gap between top-performing and average agents by giving every agent access to the behavior patterns and language choices that characterize high-outcome interactions.

About

Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
