Where RacLink is different

Ready to use on day one
RacLink's CRM, email, docs and invoicing already exist. There is no app to build, host or maintain before agents can start work.
Agents do business tasks
RacLink agents find leads, write and send email with your approval, manage documents and raise invoices. Emergent's agents build software.
Routing per task
RacLink sends each task to the model that's best at it, and the model behind an agent can be swapped without the work stopping.
You stay in control on every plan
