Building the AI-powered business phone number of the future.

Phone numbers continue to play a significant role in communication, with close to 8 billion active phone numbers globally. As the backbone of messaging apps such as WhatsApp and protocols such as RCS, phone numbers have evolved beyond traditional calling and texting to rich communication.

This evolution has enabled businesses to engage with customers through interactive capabilities, such as supporting payments and booking directly in the chat — a crucial segment for building fast support and sales experiences, compared to email, which lacks interactivity and is a slower form of communication.

To provide fast communication experience, businesses still need a dedicated person or team to efficiently engage with customers at scale, 24/7, which requires a significant investment that most businesses can't afford. Traditional "chatbots" are limited to basic interactions and often require human intervention.

With the recent AI breakthrough, it has become possible to provide communication scalability out-of-the box. We are on a mission to reimagine the business phone number with an AI-first approach — developing interfaces and tools around maximizing AI efficiency, rather than team collaboration.
