The 5 seconds that cost the deal: Why Real time AI matters

Deetya Kumar

Imagine that you are in an important sales call. The client raises an objection that you

didn’t really anticipate. You know that you’ve seen the perfect response, but you can’t

recall that, your mind just goes completely blank.

By the time the meeting ends, you remember exactly what you should’ve said but

unfortunately, that opportunity was long gone.

The frustrating part wasn’t that you weren’t aware of the answer, it was that you

remembered it too late.

Could AI have helped in that moment?

Most Probably, Yes.

But did you have the luxury to switch tabs, open ChatGPT, feed into it the context of the

conversation, wait for a response and try to fit it naturally into the conversation?

No.

The AI today helps us prepare before the meeting, be it conducting research or

brainstorming important questions or after the meeting when it’s time to summarize,

make notes or draft follow ups. But the moments that matter the most aren’t before or

after the meeting, they are during it.

This is exactly how the next generation of AI is evolving, not as just a tool or a search

engine but a real time copilot, it assists you when you need it the most, it listens,

understands and helps you think in that moment.

And this is the direction that Boxy by Hintro is moving towards, it’s not replacing or

automating human conversations, rather supporting them in real time by actively

listening and whispering what you need to hear, exactly when you need to hear it.

Sometimes the difference between closing a deal and losing it isn’t lack of knowledge

but those 5 seconds of hesitation.
