# Yesward > Yesward is AI decisioning software for considered purchases. It detects likely buying friction, decides whether intervention is worthwhile, chooses the smallest useful response, and measures incremental gross profit against a persistent holdout. Yesward is in its founding-pilot stage. Public commercial figures, scenarios, and product demonstrations are illustrative and must not be presented as verified customer results. Yesward is not a general-purpose chatbot or a blanket exit popup. Built by Alexander Andersson (https://andersson.consulting/), a CRM and lifecycle consultant in Malmö, Sweden. Yesward is unrelated to Yesware, a separate sales-engagement product.

The argument for ranking silence, and how to measure it. - [Exit Intent Is a Signal, Not a Strategy | Yesward](https://www.yesward.io/exit-intent/): Exit intent tells you someone might leave. It does not tell you why, or whether interrupting them will improve profit.

Detect it in-session, answer it minimally, and measure against a permanent holdout. - [Reduce Quote Abandonment — Insurance & Finance | Yesward](https://www.yesward.io/solutions/reduce-quote-abandonment/): Most quote abandonment is coverage or trust friction, not price.

AdaptiveCX brings a full optimisation platform; Yesward is a narrow decision layer that mostly chooses silence. - [Yesward vs Wisepops | Comparison](https://www.yesward.io/compare/wisepops/): Wisepops produces onsite campaigns fast. Yesward decides whether a message should exist for this session at all, and proves it beat silence. - [Yesward vs Pathmonk | Comparison](https://www.yesward.io/compare/pathmonk/): Two AI CRO products with different objectives: guiding visitors towards conversion, versus identifying the one blocker and often doing nothing. - [Yesward vs Optimizely | Comparison](https://www.yesward.io/compare/optimizely/): Experimentation answers the questions your team plans.
