How is this different than TalkTo? What is the business model here?

TalkTo did not integrate with third party services.

To the consumer, this functions pretty damn close to TalkTo.

My question is: how many times do you actually call a business to find out about inventory, etc.

I remember doing this in the early 2000's, but in the age of Amazon and transparent inventory on sites like Apple, it's a very rare use case.

From a business perspective, I love the idea of providing better customer service, and if this is a feature that customers actually want, then maybe it will work.

Onboarding businesses will be a huge pain in the ass. But you probably know that already :)
