Conversica is a conversational AI company for revenue teams, originally founded in Bellingham, Washington in 2007 by Ben Brigham under the name AutoFerret.com, renamed AVA.ai, then rebranded to Conversica in 2014. The company is now headquartered in San Mateo, California, and has built a long track record in the AI-assistant-for-sales space predating the current wave of generative AI startups.
Its Revenue Digital Assistants hold two-way conversations over email, chat, and SMS, using natural language understanding to interpret lead replies and keep following up automatically until a lead is qualified, schedules a meeting, or opts out, at which point the assistant escalates to a human rep. The approach targets the gap between initial lead capture and the point a sales rep is willing to spend time on a prospect.
Conversica sells to mid-market and enterprise marketing, sales, and customer-success teams rather than small businesses. A subscription starts around $2,999 a month with unlimited seats included, and add-ons like visitor identification or phone and dialer capability push total enterprise spend well past $50,000 annually. There is no free plan or self-serve signup.
