Leveraging AI for Revenue Intelligence: Insights from Burak Aksar, Co-Founder of Spiky
Summary:
In this episode of the GTM AI podcast, host Jonathan welcomes Burak Aksar, co-founder and software engineer at Spiky, an AI-powered revenue intelligence platform. Burak shares his journey from a technical background in machine learning to the world of go-to-market and sales.

Burak also shares his thoughts on the current state of AI in business and what he's excited about for the future.
Highlighted Concepts:
- Revenue intelligence: Analyzing data from various sources (sales, customer success, support, product, engineering) to optimize revenue processes
- Non-conversational metrics: Measuring up to 60 different metrics per second, including vocal, visual, and contextual data, to provide insights beyond just transcripts
- Actionable insights: Identifying trends across customer conversations and tying them to revenue outcomes
- AI stack: Utilizing a combination of proprietary models, open-source, and closed-source APIs to power the Spiky platform
- Explainable AI: The importance of making AI models transparent, scalable, and ethically sound
Quotes from Burak:
- "The revenue domain is already very complicated, and I think no one has figured out yet, including us, what are some winning behaviors and how do I basically apply this at scale?"
- "If you don't understand, I don't think you can optimize any process. It can't, it doesn't need to be revenue, but the things that I'm like really excited, if I flip the page a bit, I think, like we've been expecting this, but the large language models are becoming a commodity."
- "I think making these ethically, like ethically, successful is a very big challenge because let me make an analogy here. Even explaining one decision tree or random forest, it's super hard. Like it doesn't make sense to humans."
