market profile

icp

objections

  • objection: Will this require replacing our existing applications?
    response: Async says agents work across the applications and websites the business already uses; validate the particular workflow in an audit.
  • objection: How do we protect sensitive client data?
    response: The business plan states SOC 2 Type II certification and no training on customer data; review security terms for your use case.
