01 — How Curta works

One agent for everything small.
One queue for everything else.

For employees

Curta handles the small things.

Ask Curta in Teams. It replies in seconds — with a real fix, not a ticket number.

For IT agents

Your queue lives inside Teams.

No new app. No new tab. Curta’s queue, drafts, and reports sit inside the Teams app you already have open.

03 — The story
PAT. US 2 229 962 — 1948
C. HERZSTARK

Curta is named after a calculator.

In 1948, an Austrian engineer named Curt Herzstark released a mechanical calculator small enough to fit in a pocket. Eleven digits of precision. Four functions. No batteries. The most precise computing device of its era — favored by engineers, scientists, and rally drivers for decades.

We named our AI agent after it because we believe IT support should feel the same way: small, precise, quietly capable. A tool that fits in your pocket and gives you the right answer when you turn the crank.

04 — What it’s aimed at
01
68%
AI deflection, target
Curta is built to close two of every three tickets without an agent.
02
12m
Median time-to-resolve
From request in Teams to fix in chat — measured on internal pilots.
03
5 min
From install to first ticket
Single-click install from the Microsoft Teams admin center.
Curta is in private beta with a small group of mid-market IT teams. Customer references coming when the work is honest.
05 — How it’s different

Honest about what’s the same.
Specific about what isn’t.

Desk365 has been around longer and has more integrations. Zendesk does a lot more, for a lot more money. Curta is for teams that want the chat-native, AI-first version — at half the price.
