@usebland the ease of use 😮‍💨

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/introduci…

Every voice AI vendor looks good running your easiest call. @zaygranet's advice: start by automating simple calls like status checks, but test the vendor on your hardest one before you sign. A platform that handles FAQs well can still fail when a customer needs something complicated. @KIN spent over six months getting another AI vendor to production quality. Bland got them there in less than one.

@usebland Best in the game 😎😎

Superunit tested the top four industry-leading voice models this week, and Bland Speech v3 came out on top. On a run of 19,000+ employee verification calls, Speech v3 beat competitors by 27%, the others were within 3% of each other. That's why Superunit has since made Speech v3 the default voice model for all of its verification calls. Listen for yourself at bland.ai/speech

Today, we’re launching Bland Speech v3 - The world's first Human Speech Engine. In @designarena’s Audio Realism benchmark, Speech v3 is the top model, outranking Elevenlabs, Grok, Cartesia, and OpenAI. Trained on over 100 million real, human conversations: businesses, developers, and creators can now create any audio they can imagine. To showcase this, we used 5 seconds of old footage to help James, a 49 year old father who recently suffered a stroke, get his voice back.

BREAKING: Bland Speech v3 by @usebland debuts as the most human-sounding TTS model on our newest evaluation: Audio Realism Bench. Traditional speech benchmarks increasingly struggle to separate frontier systems that all sound clean, fluent, and intelligible. Audio Realism Bench instead asks a harder question: when two voices read the same transcript, which one sounds more like a real person? Vetted native speakers evaluate recordings blindly across phone agents, conversational assistants, and spoken explainers, judging the subtle qualities that define human-like speech. We also place real human recordings directly into the evaluation pool, testing whether evaluators can distinguish TTS models from actual human speech. Bland Speech v3 takes the top spot in our initial rankings, followed by MAI-Voice-2 by @MicrosoftAI and Grok TTS by @spacexai, all demonstrating important steps toward voice systems capable of sustaining genuinely human-feeling interactions. Congratulations to the @usebland team!

Today, we're introducing @Intelligence_ai. In 6 months, as a team of 10, we scaled from $5M to $60M ARR and 5.5M users across 190+ countries. We raised a $7.9M seed, led by @IndexVentures with participation from @conviction, @A_StarVC, and @combinator to build DesignArena, a universal interface for accessing and evaluating the world's AI capabilities. Most evaluations try to simulate the real-world. We believe the real-world is the ultimate verifier. People come to @DesignArena with a request. Models compete to fulfill the request, and users determine what works best for them. Their live user behavior evaluates the models, improves how work is routed, and helps people access the right intelligence. We've helped the world's leading frontier labs break the news on their SOTA capabilities. What's the limit? Join us and find out.

@usebland @souljaboy pretty boi swag
