Cenote

Cenote spotted something obvious that most brands quietly accept as cost of doing business: every visitor who adds to cart and bounces is revenue walking out the door. They're building AI sales reps that actually pick up the phone or shoot a text instead of firing off another email reminder nobody opens, which feels like a real upgrade. The Y Combinator backing and sub-week setup are legit selling points for D2C brands that don't have engineering sitting around to build custom solutions. That said, I'd want to see some hard numbers on conversion rates before declaring this the move—the "AI sales rep" framing is slick but I want to know what happens when someone asks a question the model can't handle.
