Problems we solve

Examples

Revenue & GTM

ABM spend on traffic that never behaved like buyers

Decision-stage accounts mix researchers with real evaluators. Grade which sessions actually looked like buyers — before the quarter closes.

By role

Revenue & GTM

For CMO, growth, RevOps — B2B SaaS, DTC, and e-commerce

B2B

Wasted ABM spend on traffic that never behaved like buyers

The pain
You pay for in-market accounts from 6sense or Demandbase, but CPL stays flat — Decision-stage traffic mixes researchers with real evaluators.
Why your stack misses it
Account buying stages refresh daily. They cannot tell you whether this visit is comparing vendors or passively browsing.
What intentLM does
Classify each session path in real time — upgrade-seeking, competitor evaluation, passive research — to grade campaign quality, not just account stage.
Outcome
Reallocate budget toward high-intent sessions; feed offline conversions by intent tier to ad platforms.
Both

Losing ready-to-buy visitors who never fill out a form

The pain
Trials and anonymous visitors hit pricing and stall — but no MQL fires until they self-identify.
Why your stack misses it
Form fills and CRM stages are lagging indicators. Product analytics shows page views, not buyer state.
What intentLM does
Session-path classification on pricing, checkout, and paywall patterns — webhook to Slack or your MAP while the user is still on site.
Outcome
Founder or SDR outreach on hot sessions before intent cools.
B2B

Sales prioritizing the wrong accounts at the wrong time

The pain
SDRs chase accounts that “look in-market” when the person on your site today is not the buyer.
Why your stack misses it
Lead scores and account intent are aggregates. They do not describe this session’s behavior.
What intentLM does
Attach session intent to the visit that preceded the form — path class + confidence on the converting session.
Outcome
Prioritize callbacks for demo-imminent or purchase-ready sessions, not every Decision account.
B2C

Cart abandonment before your recovery email fires

The pain
Shoppers idle on cart or checkout, compare prices, and leave — Klaviyo or abandoned-cart flows trigger an hour later.
Why your stack misses it
Email recovery is batch and post-session. By then the shopper is on a competitor site.
What intentLM does
Classify cart-abandonment-imminent and checkout-hesitation paths in real time — trigger chat, offer, or agent while they are still on site.
Outcome
Recover revenue in the session, not in the inbox.
B2C

Checkout friction that kills high-intent shoppers

The pain
Payment and shipping loops, rage clicks on checkout, and tab switches with no support or simplify trigger.
Why your stack misses it
E-commerce analytics shows funnel drop-off, not whether the shopper is stuck vs. comparing.
What intentLM does
Detect checkout friction and purchase-intent patterns — route to concierge chat or surface shipping help before exit.
Outcome
Save high-intent sessions that would have silently abandoned.
By role

Customer Success

For VP CS, support, retention — subscriptions, SaaS, and DTC

Both

Finding out about churn after the cancel flow starts

The pain
Customers enter billing, downgrade, and cancellation pages long before CS or a save offer appears.
Why your stack misses it
Health scores and NPS are periodic. Session replay requires someone to watch hours of video.
What intentLM does
Churn-signal intents fire on cancellation and downgrade paths — alert CS or trigger save workflow in the same session.
Outcome
Intervene before the subscription ends, not in the exit survey.
Both

Support agents who start every conversation blind

The pain
The first message is always “How can I help?” while the user already spent ten minutes on pricing and docs.
Why your stack misses it
Ticketing systems see the ticket text, not the behavioral path that led to it.
What intentLM does
Classify session intent before chat opens and pass it to the agent or copilot.
Outcome
Faster resolution and higher CSAT without asking the user to re-explain their journey.
B2B

Expansion signals buried in usage data nobody monitors

The pain
Accounts hit seat limits and feature gates but no one reaches out until renewal.
Why your stack misses it
Product analytics dashboards are not wired to real-time CS alerts for paywall moments.
What intentLM does
Expansion intents (seat capacity, feature gate, blocked invite) trigger webhooks to CS or account owners.
Outcome
Proactive upgrade conversations at the moment of need.
B2C

Post-purchase anxiety that drives returns

The pain
After checkout, buyers loop on order confirmation, tracking, and returns policy — then request refunds or chargebacks.
Why your stack misses it
Post-purchase flows are treated as operational, not as a retention moment with classified intent.
What intentLM does
Detect post-purchase anxiety paths and trigger reassurance, proactive support, or order-status help in the same session.
Outcome
Fewer returns and chargebacks before buyer remorse hardens.
By role

Product & Growth

For VP Product, growth, lifecycle — apps, media, and retail

Both

Analytics that tell you what happened, not what it meant

The pain
Funnels show drop-off at step three — not whether the user was confused, comparing, or ready to buy.
Why your stack misses it
Mixpanel, Amplitude, and PostHog are event warehouses. You maintain “intent” segments by hand.
What intentLM does
A shared taxonomy maps paths to typed intent classes — plus exportable token sequences for churn and LTV models.
Outcome
One language for buyer state across teams and downstream ML, not fifty custom event definitions.
Both

Session replay at scale nobody has time to watch

The pain
You pay for FullStory or Hotjar but insights depend on someone manually reviewing recordings.
Why your stack misses it
Replay tools capture behavior; they do not classify it. Review does not scale.
What intentLM does
Automated session-path classification on every visit — no video, no PII.
Outcome
Operational intent signal for 100% of sessions, not the 2% someone watched.
Both

Onboarding drop-off you only see in weekly retention charts

The pain
New users stall in setup. By the time retention dips show up, the cohort is gone.
Why your stack misses it
Weekly cohort reports are too slow for in-session rescue.
What intentLM does
Onboarding and confusion intents on setup loops and help-center spirals — trigger guides or CS outreach same session.
Outcome
Rescue activations before day-seven retention, not after.
B2C

Paywall readers who leave without subscribing

The pain
Free readers hit article limits and plan comparison pages, then bounce without a trial or subscribe CTA at the right moment.
Why your stack misses it
Pageview funnels do not distinguish passive browsing from paywall-ready intent.
What intentLM does
Classify upgrade-seeking and paywall-hesitation sessions — trigger offer, trial extension, or agent at peak intent.
Outcome
Convert anonymous readers before the session ends.
By role

AI & Engineering

For Engineering, agent builders, platform teams

Both

Copilots and agents that lack user context on the first turn

The pain
Your agent asks generic questions while the user’s session already showed clear intent.
Why your stack misses it
LLM context does not include structured behavioral state unless you build extraction pipelines yourself.
What intentLM does
Real-time Intent Object via API or MCP — intent class, confidence, session tokens — before the agent responds.
Outcome
Agents that act on classified behavior, not guesswork from a single chat message.
Both

Building intent in-house on raw clickstreams

The pain
Every team reinvents rules on URLs and events. Privacy review blocks PII-heavy pipelines.
Why your stack misses it
DIY intent layers are expensive, hard to govern, and do not transfer across products.
What intentLM does
Intent as an API: integer tokens leave the browser; classification runs on a shared model tier.
Outcome
Ship intent in days, not quarters — without training on emails, URLs, or DOM text.
Both

The “second SDK” objection blocking instrumentation

The pain
Engineering refuses another browser tag; PostHog or Segment already captures events.
Why your stack misses it
Adding intent usually means duplicating capture or hand-rolling server-side rules.
What intentLM does
PostHog or Segment passthrough: existing events → server-side token mapping → classify.
Outcome
Intent on the CDP you already run — engineering signs off faster.
