Omni Agent War: Zoom

The agent works. Sales wants its licenses back.

You priced ZoomMate per meeting it attends, not per license. Every meeting an agent sits in now pays you, whether or not a human shows.

ZoomMate attends at $1 a meeting. It sits in 30 million meetings in a quarter. License revenue starts to fall.

Head of Sales: HOLD IT! My reps carry license quotas! You just turned every license into a free trial!

The Bank COO: My ZoomMate was turned away from a Teams call yesterday. So whose agent is it, darling? Yours or mine?

The CTO: Sales wants licenses. The customer wants to know who our agent works for. Only one of those matters.

  1. A. Hold the line. Charge per meeting attended. Reps lose their license quotas.
  2. B. Then it works for her. Teams and Meet too. Zoom becomes one app of many.
  3. C. Fine. ZoomMate goes back on the license. Sales stops shouting. For now.
