Hyper, an emergency response startup launched by Ben Sanders, focuses on improving 9-1-1 call management through AI technology. Sanders, who has experience at the intersection of tech and government, recognized the potential for innovation in handling non-emergency calls after a news article highlighted AI applications in this area. The startup recently raised $6.3 million in seed funding and provides services to streamline call responses, ultimately enhancing the efficiency of emergency services.
"Imagine getting stuck talking to someone for eight minutes about a neighbor's dog barking, only to answer the next call late, because of that noise complaint, and hear the trembling voice of a five-year-old whose dad has just collapsed on the floor."
"Hyper answers questions, texts links, forwards calls, and even takes non-emergency police reports. Hyper always plays it safe, so if any calls fall outside."
