About Our Client:

Nurix was born from a simple but radical belief: the way enterprises operate is broken, and it’s time for a new playbook. For too long, enterprises have scaled by stacking people, platforms, and processes.

The result? Bloated workflows, endless handoffs, and systems that need constant maintenance.

But at the heart of every workflow, whether it’s sales, support, vendor management, or internal ops is a conversation. Nurix builds conversational AI agents that don’t just automate tasks, but take ownership. They connect across tools, understand context, and handle work end-to-end.

This is the new operating layer of the enterprise. And it speaks your language.
