Othello raises $8 million for in-call AI sales coaching

Othello, a New York start-up, has announced $8 million in seed funding from a16z speedrun, Owl Capital and Long Journey Ventures. Its desktop app starts when a call begins and shows live prompts in any online meeting, without joining as a participant. Othello says it is deployed at over 50 large enterprises, including Microsoft, Capital One and Lyft.

What it means for you: Live, in-call coaching is now a separate buying choice from post-call review. Decide which gap your reps have before you trial either kind of tool.
