RightNow GTM brain

RightNow offers hosted open-model inference optimized for developers building AI agents, with GPU kernel research underpinning the service.

category

Open model inference APIs

market profile

  • text: Agent sessions repeatedly send context, making cache effectiveness, throughput and token pricing important to inference economics.
  • text: RightNow competes in hosted open-model inference with an API compatible with familiar model SDKs.

personas

  • title: AI application engineer
    pains:
    • Repeated agent context increases input costs
    • Switching inference providers can require integration work
  • title: AI infrastructure or platform lead
    pains:
    • Needs predictable throughput and lower model serving cost
    • Must evaluate enterprise security and service terms

icp

  • text: AI product teams running multi-turn agents on open models with recurring cached context.
  • text: Larger organizations requiring dedicated infrastructure, audit logs and custom terms are candidates for enterprise sales.

message pillars

  • text: Offer open models designed for agent workloads.
  • text: Keep repeated context warm with session-aware routing.
  • text: Optimize inference at the GPU kernel level.

objections

  • objection: Will cache discounts apply to our workload?
    response: Measure real cache hit rates and total costs on representative sessions; cache hits are workload dependent.
  • objection: Can we switch without rewriting our application?
    response: The API supports OpenAI-compatible chat completions and Anthropic-compatible messages; validate specific models and features in a pilot.
