Kixie
Kixie is a calling and texting platform for sales teams, run from Santa Monica, California. Its products are a power dialer, a contact centre, business SMS, ConnectionBoost, conversation intelligence, and analytics and reporting, and it positions itself for inside sales, business development, marketing, revenue operations and customer support teams.
The dialer can call up to 10 contacts at a time in parallel, with AI-powered machine detection skipping voicemail boxes and IVR systems so reps talk to people rather than recordings. Local presence dialing uses progressive caller ID with spam-risk prevention, and an automated lead caller prompts a rep to call a new lead the moment it arrives. Intelligent call routing distributes calls by CRM field, and call queues hold inbound callers.
Texting covers automated SMS and MMS, drip campaigns, appointment reminders and event-triggered messages fired when a lead opens an email, submits a form or books a meeting, plus shared SMS inboxes with internal notes. Conversation intelligence transcribes calls and tracks keywords, phrases and sentiment, with AI-generated summaries synced to the CRM. Managers get live call monitoring and whispering for coaching, live leaderboards and reporting, and the platform includes DNC list checking for compliance.
Kixie integrates with CRM and business tools to log calls and texts automatically, and offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required. The company labels its published statistics as company-reported and publishes editorial and corrections policies describing how it measures and updates them. Pricing is not published on the pages crawled.
