A world where every interaction is worth having

Join the team of driven individuals that push the limits of what is possible with AI

There’s a certain type of interaction you never forget. You call, and they remember who you are. You talk, and they know what happened last time. You need support, and they help you on the spot. You are busy, and they know when to leave you alone. The type of conversation that brings you peace of mind. The type of service that makes you feel cared for. The type of interaction that's actually worth having. But over the past decade, this kind of service has become increasingly rare. Instead we got: Chatbots that forget what you said five minutes ago. Forms that ask what you’ve already answered a 100 times. Tickets that reduce you to just another number in the system. Call queues that make you want to throw your phone out the window. Businesses had to make these tradeoffs in order to scale their service. But this is changing. At telli, we are building AI to run customer-facing operations. With agents that don’t just answer questions. But that can act, understand, learn, and improve. At any hour. With any volume. In any language. On any channel. The future won't be a world where businesses simply automate their customer interactions with AI. The future is a world where every interaction you have has context, attention, and intent. A world where every interaction is worth having.

Our Culture

How we work

Every second counts

Now over later. We focus and subtract to move fast.

Anti-midwit

Simple over sophisticated. Simple is hard. We create simple solutions to problems.

Ownership

Ownership over Shared responsibility.  Each initiative has a clear DRI who is empowered to make decisions and take risks.

Hell yes or no

Conviction over Compromise. When making a decision someone needs to have conviction. A "hell yes" and three nos is better than four maybes.

Never blocked

Agency over Complacency.  Whenever you are blocked, ask yourself: "What would I do if I had 10x the agency?"

In-office culture in Berlin

Our HQ is in Berlin-Mitte, a city with high talent density, creative ideas, and one of the most startup-dense ecosystems in Europe.

We believe in an in-office, in-person culture where you can bounce ideas off your colleagues without having to schedule a Zoom meeting.

Not in Berlin? If you decide to join us, we will help you with relocation, visa, or anything else to make your transition smooth.
