The AI Voice Team at Spare is transforming customer interactions through cutting-edge conversational AI technology. Our flagship product, AI Voice, replaces traditional IVR systems with intuitive, human-like interactions, allowing riders to seamlessly book trips, cancel reservations, and access real-time information without long wait times.
Designed to tackle challenges such as 24/7 service availability, high call volumes, and staffing shortages, AI Voice empowers transit agencies to improve operational efficiency while enhancing rider satisfaction. By prioritizing accessibility and creating equitable experiences for riders who prefer phone-based support, our team is committed to delivering scalable, human-centric AI solutions that make transit more inclusive, reliable, and efficient.
Spare's mission is empowering everyone to unlock the potential of mobility.
Spare is the future of shared transportation. We’re revolutionizing how the busy mom from Dallas, the retired teacher from Oslo or the aspiring entrepreneur from Tokyo experiences transportation, by partnering with transportation providers around the world to enable worry-free, efficient, flexible, and automated on-demand solutions.
From the daily commute to non-emergency hospital visits, last-minute lunches, and leisurely trips to the museum, our technology makes people’s lives easier and transit more equitable both for those with specialized mobility needs and those without.
With Spare’s Platform, which includes a feature-rich admin web-panel, as well as rider and driver apps, transportation providers can break free from para and microtransit silos and provide holistic demand-responsive services that give each rider exactly what they need. We also help cities easily optimize their transit network so that the entire transportation ecosystem works better together.
At Spare, nothing is impossible. We think safe, affordable, scalable and eventually autonomous transportation is the right way forward. Join us for the ride!
At Spare, we don't have a strict set of values, but rather a set of Guiding Principles that represent the most successful people at Spare.
