Frequently asked
Yes. We do migrations regularly. Typical timeline: 14-21 days from contract to live cutover. We rebuild on AVA platform, port your prompts and integrations, run parallel for 30 days, then full cutover.
We are model-agnostic by principle. Both options use Claude (Anthropic) and GPT (OpenAI) as primary LLM choices. We benchmark per use case before locking in. ElevenLabs for voice, Deepgram for STT are common to both.
Bolna is a SaaS subscription — you get the platform and self-serve. Super In Tech is a managed service — you get the platform plus our team building, tuning, integrating, and operating it for you. Different delivery models, different prices.
