Risotto auto-solves IT support requests using AI

Want to apply AI to your IT Helpdesk queue? Risotto helps you grant software access, limit access/permission grants by time, serve knowledge, and get approvals from people like managers. All using natural language directly in chat (AKA "ChatOps") IT teams spend too much time manually provisioning software and answering the same question repeatedly. We help them improve resolution times, reduce SaaS spend, and enhance security with 24/7 automated software access and IT support. Check us out at: https://www.tryrisotto.com

Meet the Team

Aron, Alex, and Chris met almost 10 years ago at HelloSign (YC11) as early employees.

  • Alex led the HelloSign IT team through the acquisition by Dropbox and later led IT engineering at Gusto.
  • Chris has a 25-year history as a software engineer and leader, most recently at Square.
  • Aron was also an early engineer at HelloSign before he shifted into Product Management, and later served as a Director of PM at Dropbox, and a PM lead in ML at Grammarly

Collectively they have over 30 years of experience in enterprise B2B SaaS software. The team says they’re “excited to be building the IT product Alex always wanted, but has never been able to find.”

Risotto learns the answers to common questions for automated 24/7 resolutions

The Problem

🕒 IT teams spend too much time manually provisioning software and answering the same question repeatedly

💸 Manually provisioning SaaS accounts inflates license costs because there’s a tendency to over-provision

🦹 Security suffers as software accounts proliferate

😫 Quarterly user access reviews for SOC 2 compliance add additional overhead for IT to manage

These types of problems are a waste of time for people to solve but are perfect for automation. One of our co-founders Alex saw this play out constantly while running IT at Gusto and Dropbox which inspired us to do something about it!
