At Xtnsion.AI, we are building the next generation of customer experiences (CX) — With human-like chat and voice systems that doesn’t just answer but acts, learns, and resolves across every inbound and outbound touchpoint.

For small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), CX is often the difference between winning a customer or losing one. Missed calls, repetitive questions, or delayed responses can quickly translate to lost revenue. That’s where our agentic AI layer comes in — streamlining support, sales, and service so businesses can scale without scaling headcount.

Your next hire is an AI Agent.

Trained to support, solve, and scale — across every customer interaction.

Why CX Needs a Smarter Layer

Today’s SMBs operate in high-pressure environments:
• Healthcare practices losing leads to missed appointment calls.
• Real estate teams juggling hundreds of inquiries across listings.
• SaaS companies managing tickets and onboarding questions.
• Travel and e-commerce businesses handling high-volume queries in real time.

Traditional tools only scratch the surface. Chatbots and IVRs can handle basic FAQs, but they fail when customers expect human-like conversations, contextual memory, and real action.

Xtnsion.AI is the advanced CX layer SMBs have been waiting for — seamlessly integrated with CRMs, ticketing systems, and scheduling tools to deliver always-on inbound and outbound engagement.

Who’s Competing in This Space?

The AI voice and automation ecosystem is heating up. A few players are notable for SMBs and beyond:

Competitor Landscape: Who Else Is in the Game?

SMB Solution Providers

1. Synthflow AI – Known for ultra-low latency (sub-400 ms), making it useful for real-time scheduling and lightweight support.
Limitation: Strong on speed, but limited when it comes to multi-touch CX orchestration or outbound engagement.

2. Lindy – A workflow automation assistant focused on sales and lead generation, with thousands of app integrations.
Limitation: Great for broad automations, but lacks depth in customer experience workflows where context, voice, and empathy matter.

3. Air.ai – Specializes in long-form calls (10–40 minutes) with CRM integration.
Limitation: Well-suited for sales conversations, but less effective for high-volume SMB inbound queries and quick-turn support.

4. Retell AI – Marketed to support teams, providing seamless support automation.
Limitation: Effective for ticketing, but narrow in scope, often requiring SMBs to patch in other tools for outbound and proactive engagement.

5. PolyAI – Strong in hospitality, restaurants, and retail with natural voice-first solutions.
Limitation: Vertical success stories are strong, but it remains sector-specific, not a universal CX layer for SMBs.

Enterprise Solution Providers — The Giants
‍

6. Forethought AI – AI support agent for SMBs and enterprises.
Limitation: Effective at ticket deflection, but not built for end-to-end CX.

7. Sierra AI – Backed by OpenAI founders, reimagining CX and sales.
Limitation: Early-stage, more concept-driven than proven SMB-ready solution.

8. Genesys AI – Omnichannel enterprise leader with predictive engagement.
Limitation: Too heavy and costly for SMB adoption.

9. Cognigy.AI – Enterprise automation with SAP and Salesforce integrations.
Limitation: Requires enterprise budgets and technical resources.

10. Google Dialogflow CX – A staple for complex conversational flows.
Limitation: Infrastructure-only — SMBs still need to build the CX layer themselves.
