Why licensing desks are a flagship AI story

Business callers often mix registration, renewals, and compliance questions. The agent separates threads and captures structured data your back-office systems can ingest later.

Investor scenarios emphasise clarity: what is illustrative in the demo, what requires a decision-maker, and how summaries are delivered.
