How Siro reduced customer complaints and support tickets by 90% with AssemblyAI

The problem

Field sales representatives across Siro's customer base lacked adequate coaching because in-person coaching required too much time and capital for companies with dispersed teams, reducing company oversight and limiting rep earnings.

First attempt

Siro's initial legacy speech-to-text provider produced inaccurate transcriptions, causing support tickets to build up and customers to churn before they switched to AssemblyAI.
