OAKLAND, Calif. — May 5, 2026 — Vivun today announced the launch of Hero, its next-generation AI Sales Teammate designed to help sellers win more deals, faster. Previously known as Ava, Hero is now available to both individuals and enterprises, including a completely free trial for individual sellers and sales leaders.
Hero represents a fundamental shift in how sales teams operate. Sellers have been expected to manage complexity with fragmented tools and limited support. Hero changes that — acting as a true teammate, one that understands deals, reasons through decisions, and ensures every seller can execute with precision.
Hero works alongside sellers before, during, and after every customer interaction. Before meetings, Hero automatically synthesizes CRM data, past conversations, and account history into a complete pre-call brief — surfacing risks, stakeholders, and recommended strategies. During live conversations, the AI Sales Teammate listens and delivers instant answers, including competitive insights, pricing guidance, and tailored proof points, eliminating hesitation in critical moments. After the call, Hero captures the discussion, drafts follow-ups, tracks next steps, and updates CRM systems automatically.
The launch comes at a time when sales teams are under pressure to do more with less while navigating increasingly complex buying environments. Traditional AI tools can summarize or generate content, but they lack the contextual understanding required to move deals forward. Hero is powered by Vivun’s proprietary Sales Reasoning Model, which goes beyond retrieval and generation to understand deal stage, stakeholder dynamics, and sales methodology, delivering recommendations sellers can trust.
