GetVocal built a deterministic graph-based system before the latest context-graph buzz.

1. A Product Market Fit Show episode follows Roy Moussa and GetVocal as the company moves from sales efficiency into customer service automation and enterprise AI agents. 2. Roy Moussa is GetVocal's founder, Pablo is the host, and Roy says his cofounder and CTO has been building companies with him for 13 years. 3. The episode asks how GetVocal found product-market fit by combining deterministic process automation with conversational AI for enterprise customers. 4. Roy says he is an aerospace engineer by education and has built plane models, electric cars, and other projects before starting companies. 5. He says his first startup began in 2013 around data science for enterprise and later verticalized into retail and logistics computer vision. 6. Roy says that first company scaled for five years, reached 100-plus people, raised a couple of rounds, and was sold before COVID. 7. He says he left an acquirer after a short stint as SVP because he wanted to build from scratch again. 8. Roy says he and his cofounder launched a conversational agent for Alzheimer's and dementia patients in 2023. 9. He says clinical trials and long sales cycles made that path too slow, so they spun it off and handed it to a medical leadership team. 10. He says GetVocal started in 2023 with omni-channel conversational agents for the whole customer journey, then narrowed to customer service. 11. Roy says the first paid use cases came from a scaling Series C company where the VP sales struggled with fluctuating SDR and BDR performance. 12. He says the team automated outbound reactivation of cold leads, inbound qualification, and CRM record keeping from call recordings and transcripts. 13. Roy says the highest-ROI cases were enterprise workflows with heavy human effort, urgent pain, and clear budget approval. 14. He says a telecom customer saw a peak in first-time resolution on a Saturday after an A/B test and a new agent launch on Thursday. 15. Roy says that result forced a Monday ROI review, which helped validate scaling the agent to full volume. 16. He says a courier customer in Europe, Glovo, doubled uptime in restaurants and groceries, and adoption spread from one use case to about 80 live agents in eight weeks. 17. Roy says the system uses a graph-based structure built around intention, not just semantic knowledge. 18. He says the graph leaves a trace and timestamp, blends deterministic decisions with generative fluency, and can be read as layered information. 19. Viewers who like enterprise SaaS, AI agent architecture, and founder-led pivot stories will get the most from this conversation. 20. Viewers who want a light consumer-tech chat or a nontechnical interview may skip it.
