General
Why is HiDesk becoming part of anny?
Because both products only unleash their full potential when combined. HiDesk brings along an AI that speaks naturally with people, while anny provides the logic behind it: availabilities, prices, and rules. This cannot be cleanly solved via a simple interface, which is why we are building it as a single product. This way, every call, message, and chat is turned into a booking.
Did HiDesk have to be sold?
No. HiDesk is profitable. Both sides decided to take this step based on a shared product vision.
What is known about the purchase price?
Both parties have agreed to keep the terms confidential.
Will the founders of HiDesk remain on board?
Yes. Florestan Peters and Jeremy Meidinger are joining anny.
