What Glimpse is, and does well
Glimpse is the best-funded AI-native player in the deductions category, and it is a real product with real traction. Conceded honestly:
- It is the best-funded AI-native player in the category. Glimpse raised a $35M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz with 8VC and Y Combinator, announced March 25, 2026, for roughly $52M total (TechCrunch, Mar 25 2026; The Meridiem, Mar 25 2026).
- It has genuine CPG traction. Glimpse reports working with more than 200 retail brands, including consumer names such as Suave and Chapstick (TechCrunch, Mar 25 2026).
- It is a genuinely AI-native product built for CPG. Glimpse pivoted to focus squarely on CPG dispute automation, and independent coverage describes it as an agentic deductions-and-recovery platform for consumer brands (TechCrunch, Mar 25 2026; The Meridiem, Mar 25 2026).
The category difference: a platform your team runs, or a digital employee
Glimpse is described in independent coverage as a dispute-automation platform for CPG consumer brands (TechCrunch, Mar 25 2026). A platform is something your team operates. Roy is a digital employee: it does the deduction analyst's work rather than giving your analyst a better screen to do it in.
That is a category distinction rather than a feature comparison, and it is the more durable one. Feature gaps close with a release. Whether you are hiring a tool or hiring a worker does not.
What ROIAI One is built to do
ROIAI One is built for wholesalers selling into department-store and off-price retail. Three things follow from that.
Department-store and off-price retailer coverage
Roy is built for the retailers your deduction book actually posts against: Bealls, Burlington, Dollar General, Kohl's and TJX. Retailer coverage is the first question to ask any vendor in this category, including us.
The reason codes that decide these disputes
ROIAI One models the codes that decide these disputes: ship-window, floor-set, size-curve, ticketing/hanger, and markdown/RTV. Those are the codes these deduction books are made of, and they are what Roy was trained on.
ERP-native
ROIAI One is ERP-native on AMT ERP, reaching the root cause in the order and the buyer-email waiver that a portal-only or document-intake architecture cannot see. That native reach into the ERP data model is ROIAI One's structural difference from a platform built for a different vertical.

When Glimpse is the right choice
If you are a CPG consumer brand, Glimpse is a real, well-funded, genuinely AI-native option built for exactly your channels (TechCrunch, Mar 25 2026). The question is not whether Glimpse is a strong product. It is which vertical you are in.
Why wholesalers choose ROIAI One
For a wholesaler running AMT ERP and selling Bealls, Burlington, Dollar General, Kohl's and TJX, ROIAI One is ERP-native in exactly those retailers and reason codes. Roy disputes what actually happened in the ERP order rather than what the portal shows.
