Company Summary

Vôcinate is Shopify for voice computing and transactional AI. We make it as easy for the corner store or local chain to exist in the ‘home and hand space’ as it now is for them to occupy a page on the web.

Our Alexa ‘skill’ connects intuitive voice UX with back-end POS and fulfillment systems enabling end customers to get information and place “human-less” orders via voice from anywhere.

We have offices in Burlington, VT and Austin, TX.
