Hello PH community, we’re so excited to announce that Bland is live! What is Bland? Bland is the first AI phone calling API. You can program Blands AI assistants to make and receive phone calls for you. Why are we creating Bland? We want to empower builders to harness the power of AI calling to improve existing systems - like healthcare - and to create completely new applications (like a free AI therapist). We envision a world where every time you make a phone call, a friendly, kind, and helpful AI answers, and every time you don't want to make a call, your AI assistant does it for you. Try bland, right now! Visit our landing page and receive a call from Blandy, our personal assistant. She can provide additional information and answer your questions.

@humblemuzzu Thank you! We're so excited to ship out additional features to decrease latency while building out additional integrations for our customers :D

Congrats on the launch! What model are you using to train and what are some of the prompts you’ve noticed it doesn’t handle well vs ones that it can answer very effectively?

Incredible revelation! Towards the end of last year, I was introduced to Midjourney, and the impact was nothing short of astonishing! To be honest, I found it hard to believe it was genuine while watching the YouTube video. I took the plunge, downloaded Discord, and tried it out for myself. The results left me utterly astounded! Subsequently, I ventured into crafting my own predictions, and now, behold, BLAND AI has materialised. In the near future, we'll have the ability to conduct sales calls using AI. This AI won't take offense, it will maintain a perpetual courteous tone, possessing proficiency in all cultural subtleties and geographical distinctions. Consequently, it will effortlessly establish connections and potentially even schedule appointments on our behalf round the clock. Just envisage a scenario where you can initiate cold calls ceaselessly! Moreover, the person on the other end won't even realise they're conversing with an AI. This inevitability is on the horizon! These revolutionary advancements are exceptionally marvellous, as they're democratising this immensely powerful technological tool to elevate not only our businesses but also the world at large. The applications are boundless – ranging from healthcare and therapy to emergency calls. As AI refines these applications, a scenario where emergency lines are perpetually available becomes plausible. Kudos for embarking on such a remarkable concept and transforming it into reality. You must have been a fly on the wall...LOL!!!

Bland is the first AI phone calling API that enables users to program AI assistants for making and receiving phone calls.

@mayur_pedekar Thanks so much for providing that summary. Like you mentioned, there are tons of use cases, including building systems for doctors offices to automatically schedule patients (instead of leaving them on hold) and offering a dedicated customer support line for your small and medium sized business. Down the line, we hope to enable tons of other use cases too, like automated SDRs, life coaching, medication adherence, etc.
