About

IT & HR teams can't scale with the business. We are the AI-native internal support agent built to change that. Before starting Risotto, I helped build and scale products at HelloSign, Dropbox, and Grammarly. My co-founder led IT Engineering at Gusto and Dropbox. We've lived inside high-growth SaaS companies and seen firsthand how internal support breaks at scale. What Risotto Does: Risotto responds to employee requests & automatically resolves 40–60%+ of internal support tickets by integrating with the tools you already use. Traditional ITSM platforms bolt AI on top. We built Risotto AI-native from day one. Our curated tools library ensures rapid rollout & high quality workflows that work perfectly as designed every time. Integrations include: Jira, Freshservice, Zendesk, ServiceNow, Okta, Google Workspace, Slack, MS Teams, Jamf, Kandji, Fleet, SimpleMDM, Intune, Workday, HiBob, Rippling Live in days. Not months. What That Looks Like in Practice (case studies at https://www.tryrisotto.com): - Gusto auto-resolves 55% of tickets and saved 114,000 hours of support wait time - ThoughtSpot automated 48% of IT tickets - Fundrise automated nearly 60% of IT support tasks within a month - Jobber automated 38% of IT tickets and saved 2,747 hours waiting on resolution This isn't just another chatbot. It's rapid automation for internal operations. If you're leading IT, RevOps, or People Ops at a scaling company and thinking about: - Increasing automation without adding headcount - Providing a single support funnel for the entire enterprise - Improving the overall employee experience by getting people unblocked faster - Strengthening IGA, compliance, & approval workflows - Becoming AI-native internally and improving productivity Let's connect.
