Classifying a reply as positive or negative is the easy part. The real product value is routing it correctly.
Sales teams that need cleaner handoffs, fewer missed warm replies, and safer handling of negative replies.
Interested leads get buried, opt-outs are mishandled, timing replies are forgotten, and objections receive generic automation.
Cognlay classifies intent and sentiment, then drafts replies, suppresses contacts, creates handoffs, or snoozes the sequence based on the detected route.
