The company built Cyndra around a frustration it kept hearing from operators: AI demos look impressive, but most tools still leave the work sitting on someone’s desk. Chatbots can answer questions. Traditional automations can move data from one field to another. But many business workflows need something more flexible – an agent that understands the process, uses the right tools, remembers context, and knows when to ...
