It's super easy to make outbound calls with your AI, but can yours... • Wait on hold, then transfer the call to your personal number? • Receive and screen inbound calls to protect you from spam? • Make international calls? • Send texts back and forth? Never wait on hold again with Bland.

Bland is the only voice AI platform that runs every layer of a call on its own models and infrastructure. For Alpha Drive, that control was a deciding factor. Book a demo with us today: bland.ai/book-a-demo

This week our CIO Juan, ex-CIO at Twilio, sat down with Unite.AI to talk self-hosting for regulated calls, what it takes to become the first voice AI company to get FedRAMPed, and how to get voice agents into banks, hospitals and government agencies. Verdict? Most buyers just want to know where their data lives and who controls it. As the only full-stack provider available, we agree. Read the full interview: unite.ai/juan-e-riojas-chief…

It’s officially time to kill the phone tree. From day 1, we bet that our models would one day be good enough to lead the conversation. Today, they can. So we’ve reimagined how you build agents, putting the model at the center. Pathways no longer orchestrate the whole conversation. They’re one resource your agent draws on, alongside tools and knowledge. We didn’t stop there: • Build agents straight from your favorite coding agent • Deploy across phone, messaging, web, and API • Test changes with A/B experimentation and reimagined evals The result is agents that are more flexible, easier to maintain, and built to improve with every model upgrade. The new dashboard is live today. Customers have until November 15th to migrate their agents. Self-serve customers can do so using one of our migration tools. Enterprise customers will be migrated by your implementation partner. Learn more: bland.ai/blog/introducing-da…

Phone trees cost you money. Idaho Housing & Finance Association takes over 4,000 calls a day. Each one used to start with a push-button menu and a minute of ID checks at about $1 a minute. Now Bland answers every line, verifies callers, and routes them to the right team: - $750,000 saved per year - 20% shorter calls - 100% routed correctly on the first transfer Give Bland a try. bland.ai.

How does voice AI correctly replicate laughs, signs, and whispers? Our research team developed NVAlign, a new training method that uses a second model to listen for sounds like laughter and feed that feedback into speech-generation training. Here’s how it works. 👇

Checkout @pipecat_ai's live demo of our new voice model. nitter.gq/pipecat_ai/status/2108…
Sometimes, choosing a voice for your Pipecat agent is about more than just latency. It might be about personality, accent, or how convincingly a voice fits the situation. We explore voice realism with @usebland Speech v3, available in Pipecat as a maintained service. 📖 docs.pipecat.ai/api-referenc…
