Why we're doing this

Voice AI is at an inflection point. The technology is finally good enough for production use cases, but building production-ready voice agents is still hard.

We believe the next generation of voice-first companies will be built by small, ambitious teams who need infrastructure that just works. This program is our way of supporting those teams.
