Othello

Othello (legally Cicero, Inc) is a New York-based AI sales-enablement platform that acts as a real-time assistant for sales reps: it generates pre-call briefs, delivers live in-call coaching cues, and automates post-call CRM updates. The product integrates with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoom, and Slack, and within its first six months grew to more than 5,000 users, including teams at Fortune 500 companies. Founded in 2024 by CEO Jared Zelman, the company evolved from his earlier venture Cicero.
