Documented cause
The enterprise NLP division spun out from Kore.ai in 2018 to target Fortune 500 customer service automation failed to achieve ROI benchmarks demanded by clients. By Q3 2021, churn exceeded 60% among mid-market accounts as hallucination rates in production deployments caused brand damage for clients. The $14M Series A runway was exhausted by early 2022 with no path to profitability.
