News Stories

Sierra, a startup by Bret Taylor and Clay Bavor, is reshaping customer experience with AI agents. Despite challenges, their autonomous agents and outcome-based pricing offer innovative solutions. Backed by substantial funding, Sierra aims to revolutionize digital customer service, competing with established players like Salesforce.

PhonePe, backed by Walmart, launches its Android app store, offering zero commission for in-app purchases to developers. This move responds to developer dissatisfaction with Google Play's fees and rules. India's market potential is significant, but sustaining an alternative store model requires addressing security concerns and providing value to users.

Subscription Management App

Managing subscriptions from multiple services and keeping track of renewal dates can be overwhelming. An app that consolidates and manages all subscriptions in one place, sends reminders, and provides cost-saving suggestions could be a valuable solution. Market size: $150 Million
