Profile source review: 2026-11-04. Company identity, product and named founders only. Existing funding stage and NYC presence need separate verification. Synthesized; human outcome and belonging route. Original homepage label: 'The AI Superhost for Restaurants.' About identifies Alex Sambvani as founder/CEO and says he co-founded with former Spotify colleague Gabe. Official authored article identifies Gabriel Duncan as cofounder/CTO, resolving the full name. Current copy emphasizes full-service restaurant hospitality, reservations, and customized call handling. Replaces the clipped 'Slang.' fragment. Blurb word count: 22; thesis word count: 18.

Notes

Slang AI is tagged workflow based on buyer clarity, repeat workflow activity, public activity, and fit with the AI Atlas map.
