About Bota
Summary
Bota gives AI agent developers a programmatic way to capture and process real-world, offline conversations, covering in-person meetings and phone calls that cloud-based tools never reach. Developers integrate Bota's API to add offline recording to their products; Bota supplies white-labeled hardware, handles manufacturing, logistics, and support, and delivers transcripts and metadata ready for any AI workflow. It replaces the manual work of wiring together physical recording hardware, operations, and data pipelines for teams building AI agents in sales, healthcare, law, finance, and productivity.
Business model
API access priced through a paid tier, with hardware provided as part of the developer product experience.
Go-to-market
AI agent developers and AI application companies are the buyers; they adopt Bota through a self-serve API and documentation, with a direct sales path available for enterprise deployments.
