Jeeva AI Logo

Jeeva AI recently launched three tightly integrated meeting-productivity agents, namely AI Calendar, AI Note Taker, and AI Meeting Prep. These features are designed to eliminate scheduling ping-pong, manual note-taking, and last-minute research for go-to-market teams.

“Revenue teams waste hours each week juggling calendars, scribbling notes, and hunting LinkedIn facts”- Gaurav Bhattacharya, CEO of Jeeva AI.

  • “Turn every ‘Are you free?’ into a confirmed meeting” with AI Calendar, which emails live availability links sourced from Gmail or Outlook, respects time-zone buffers, and drops fully formatted events like dial-in, notes, and reminders into both parties’ calendars automatically.
  • AI Note Taker joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams calls, transcribes and tags pain points in real time, then delivers bullet-style summaries with next steps straight to Salesforce or HubSpot.
  • AI Meeting Prep scans attendee bios, funding rounds, tech stacks, and headline news in seconds, producing a single-page brief that syncs to users’ Google or Outlook calendars so every rep “shows up smarter.”

“Revenue teams waste hours each week juggling calendars, scribbling notes, and hunting LinkedIn facts. Our new features and agents hand that busy-work to AI so humans can focus on relationships,” said Gaurav Bhattacharya, CEO of Jeeva AI. “Sellers walk into the call fully briefed, leave with action items auto-logged, and never break rhythm.”

Platform-wide benefits

Justt Announces Dispute Optimization to Help Merchants Maximize Chargeback Recovery

Justt, the leader in AI-based chargeback management, announces Dispute Optimization, a first-in-market capability designed to help merchants make informed and timely decisions on chargeback disputes, reducing associated costs and ensuring the highest possible returns, at scale. Dispute optimization works on a case by case basis, recommending or automating actions, based on return on investment (ROI) predictions for each chargeback dispute. This ensures that merchants net the most from the chargeback dispute process and reduce their fees.

When chargeback automation is used, the best strategy for most merchants is to dispute 100% of chargebacks. Smart automation ensures high-quality disputes (both in terms of evidence and the representment document) while also limiting costs to only those chargebacks that are successfully recovered. This logic underpins the rise of AI-based automated chargeback management, a category pioneered by Justt. “While we were always able to make predictions about the likelihood of winning certain types of disputes, in most cases the optimal strategy was to fight all chargebacks,” said Ofir Tahor, Co-founder and CEO of Justt.

However, the chargeback ecosystem is becoming more complex, introducing additional fees and costs to the process. Some notable examples include:

  • Stripe introduced an additional $15 fee for lost chargebacks
  • The new Visa fees to acquirers for late/no chargeback acceptance and for late submissions.

“These recent changes mean that the economics of the chargeback ecosystem are changing,” said Tahor. As a result, Justt launched its Dispute Optimization offering.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Ann-Christel Graham, Chief Revenue Officer at Sovos

This capability leverages Justt’s technology to create predictions at an even more granular level than before, determining the likelihood of winning each and every chargeback. This new feature predicts the likelihood of a win for each case, the fees that will apply in case it’s lost and the value of the chargeback, recommending whether to fight the chargeback. Merchants can choose to take action:  fight the chargeback, ignore it, or accept it. Since the system is fully automated, the merchant can allow Justt to do the same: fight, ignore or accept.

“While some in the industry claim that assessing the level of data enrichment suffices to make a prediction,” said Tahor. “We believe, based on our dynamic arguments technology, that each and every chargeback is different, and that predictions depend on the industry, PSP, reason code, data enriched and more. The ability to use AI to both decide which cases evidence should be submitted for, and create custom responses to chargebacks, at scale, is what powers this new product offering.”

Read More: The Sko Paradox: From Hype to Execution – Fixing Sales Kickoffs for Real Performance Gains

Key capabilities of Dispute Optimization include:

  • Configurable Inputs: Merchants can easily configure the PSP fees that apply, related to submitting and potentially losing a dispute.
  • Automated ROI Assessment: Justt uses Dispute Optimization to determine the likelihood each chargeback will present a positive ROI. By factoring in the chargeback amount, projected success rates, applicable fees if the case is lost, and data enrichment, Justt highlights lower-likelihood disputes with high associated fees.This helps merchants focus on the right cases and protect their ROI.
  • Acceptance and submission automation: Reduce fees and labor, allowing merchants to perform all actions within the Justt system.
  • Decision Automation: Merchants have the option to review Justt’s recommendations manually or set automated policies to bypass disputes with negative ROI projections.

“The payments ecosystem is changing and it’s clear that merchants need to strategize to optimize net dollar recovery,” said Tahor. “Dispute Optimization is designed to give our customers exactly that and continue reclaiming revenue that is rightfully theirs.”

The research outlines the benefits of adopting RevOps and provides practical guidance for organizations aiming to stay competitive in fast-changing market.

Organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver consistent revenue growth, prompting many to move beyond traditional Sales Operations. While SalesOps focuses on improving sales team efficiency, it often relies on intuition and personal relationships, which can lead to missed data insights and limited scalability.

The firm explains that by centralizing data and fostering more informed decision-making, the RevOps model enables organizations to accelerate growth, improve forecasting, and enhance the customer experience. Info-Tech, a global IT research and advisory firm, identifies these outcomes as critical to driving sustained business value and maintaining competitive advantage.

“RevOps is emerging as a critical capability for companies looking to scale efficiently and align growth across the business,” says Julie Geller, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group. “By aligning teams around shared goals and leveraging real-time data, organizations can adapt more quickly to market changes and act on high-impact opportunities. Agile reporting and continuous feedback ensure strategies remain focused and measurable.”

In the blueprint, Geller explains that RevOps does not replace the human side of sales but enhances it by combining data with personal connections.

The firm’s recently published resource further highlights how various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, and professional services, are realizing the benefits of adopting a RevOps model. Info-Tech explains that by providing a unified view of the customer journey and streamlining cross-departmental efforts, RevOps aims to deliver consistent and predictable revenue growth along with an improved customer experience.

The data-backed blueprint also outlines practical, easy-to-follow instructions for organizations planning to implement RevOps model and focus on the metrics that matter most. In its Make the Case for RevOps resource, Info-Tech identifies the following key advantages of implementing a RevOps model:
