Auralis VS Kore.ai

The AI support partner built for outcomes,
not platform homework.

Kore.ai is an enterprise conversational-AI platform — broad, deep, and built for internal teams to architect from scratch. Auralis ships the support outcomes you actually need, without the multi-quarter platform build.

Why they switch

What we hear on intro calls

Three patterns from customers who moved from Kore.ai to Auralis.

“Kore was sized for our parent company, not our division.”
A divisional support team at a F500 needed deflection in one quarter; corporate’s Kore program was three quarters out. Auralis got them live independently.
Live in 12 days  ·  ~55% deflection by Week 6
“We didn’t want to staff a bot-development practice.”
A growth-stage SaaS team scoped Kore and realized the in-house build effort exceeded their AI budget. Auralis delivered as a service.
0 bot-dev hires  ·  ~58% deflection by Week 8
“The SI quote alone was 3x the platform cost.”
A retailer’s SI partner scoped a 9-month Kore program; the implementation services line item dwarfed the platform fee. Auralis bypassed the SI entirely.

FAQ

Questions we get during evaluations

Straight answers to what enterprise buyers ask when comparing options.

How is Auralis different from Kore.ai?

Kore.ai sells you a platform or feature set. Auralis sells you outcomes — our team configures, tunes, and reports against your KPIs. You spend zero time learning a new ops platform.

How long does it take to go live?

Most Auralis customers are live in 10–14 days using the playbook above. We own every step.

What results can I expect?

~60% ticket deflection in repetitive categories, ~30% AHT reduction, ~35% faster first response, ~10% CSAT lift, and 15+ hours saved per agent per week. All numbers validated against the GrowthOS cohort.

Who owns the weekly optimization?

Auralis does. We hold the weekly review, surface KB gaps, propose policy changes, and report against your locked KPIs. Kore.ai expects your team to do this work.

How does pricing compare?

Auralis pricing is published as a calculator and quoted on the first call. Kore.ai runs a sales-led process. Auralis is materially less expensive at the mid-market support team size (5–200 agents).

Can we run Auralis and Kore.ai in parallel during transition?

Yes. We deploy Auralis on a slice of categories or a percentage of traffic first. You keep Kore.ai running on the rest until you’re confident. Cutover is non-disruptive.

Where does Kore.ai win?

Large enterprises with a horizontal conversational-AI mandate spanning support, HR, IT, sales, and operations. Kore’s breadth + depth is hard to match if you’re building a multi-domain agent program with internal architects. If you just want support outcomes, Auralis is built for that case.
