By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper details the performance of Javo, a sales agent fine-tuned on millions of commercial conversations. In a randomized field trial across 100 websites, Javo increased revenue per visitor by 10% compared to no agent. When compared against a frontier general-purpose model, Javo achieved a 21.6% higher conversion rate among engaged visitors.
