About
Voicepanel is a San Francisco-based AI customer research automation platform — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $2.4 million in seed funding in May 2024 led by Y Combinator, Rebel Fund, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Twenty Two Ventures, with angels including founders from Dropbox, Instacart, Front, Gusto, Airtable, and Optimizely — providing product teams, researchers, and marketers with automated AI-powered interview and survey tools that conduct thousands of chat, voice, video, and screen-share user research sessions simultaneously, delivering results in minutes rather than the weeks that traditional user research requires. Founded in 2024 by John Provine (CEO) and Asa Schachar (Optimizely alum from YC batch W10), Voicepanel is part of Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch.

About
Leaping AI is a voice AI platform building autonomous agents that handle inbound and outbound phone calls for contact centers — replacing repetitive call center workflows with LLM-powered voice agents that can carry full conversations, resolve customer issues, and escalate to humans only when genuinely needed. The company has crossed 100,000 automated calls per day, automates up to 70% of repetitive phone calls across its customer deployments, and maintains 90% customer satisfaction scores while operating in 10+ languages 24/7.\n\nLeaping AI's voice agents use large language models with real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech to handle complex conversational flows — not just simple menu navigation but actual troubleshooting, order management, appointment scheduling, and information retrieval interactions where the agent must understand context, access backend systems, and adapt responses based on what the customer says. The self-improving architecture means the agents learn from call outcomes to improve resolution rates and satisfaction over time.\n\nIn 2025, Leaping AI competes in the AI voice agent and conversational AI market with Poly AI, Nuance (Microsoft), Cognigy, Five9 with AI, and NICE CXone for contact center automation. The contact center automation market represents a massive opportunity — global call centers employ millions of agents, with voice handling remaining difficult to automate compared to chat and email. Leaping AI's LLM-native approach (built on foundation models from the start rather than retrofitting rule-based systems) provides more natural conversation quality than legacy AI voice vendors. The 2025 strategy focuses on expanding call volume with enterprise contact center customers, deepening integrations with CRM and ticketing systems that give agents access to customer context, and improving the multilingual capabilities for global enterprise deployments.
