This week Vendasta launched the AI Reputation Specialist, an AI employee that replies across Google and Facebook with brand-safe guidance and turns customer feedback into clear actions teams can take in chat. I’m especially proud that we pair it with white-glove setup, so it reflects a business’s real voice and risk thresholds from day one. Read all about it in our announcement: https://lnkd.in/e_mApYE7
