AgentPhone (YC P26)

The $2T telecom industry was built for humans. @AgentPhoneHQ is rebuilding it for agents. One API gives every AI agent its own phone number and a trusted identity to reach the real world. Congrats on the launch, @themeetmodi & @manav2modi! ycombinator.com/launches/QNE-a…

📱 @AgentPhoneHQ gives every AI agent its own phone number, so an agent can actually call, text, and authenticate in the real world. They handle all the telecom compliance behind the scenes, so the agent just signs up over an API and starts making calls and sending messages. The whole telecom stack was built for humans, which is why agents hit a wall the moment they need to do something as basic as receive a verification code or make a call. Manav and Meet spent months becoming official CPAAS vendors and getting compliant before they ever launched, which is the kind of unglamorous groundwork that turns into a real moat. It's working. Agents are already signing up on their own through the API, and AgentPhone is the default phone number option on Google's Agent Dev Kit, Vercel, Replit, and Langchain. As more agents come online, that distribution compounds. agentphone.ai What makes me even more excited is who's building it. @manav2modi and @themeetmodi are brothers who have been building together their whole lives. @pioneer_fund is excited to back them as they give agents a way to reach the rest of us. Congrats! #yc #ycp26 #vc

Congratulations to the top Devtech startups in YC P26! Remember when "dev tools" was a "small market" that investors didn't want to touch? Well now DevTech is one of the largest industries in the world. svpost.com/articles/top-d…

NY Tech Week is a wrap! Dedalus closed out the week with Run(way)time, a fashion show celebrating the launch of our merch line and the future we are building with Dedalus Machines. We brought together founders, builders, artists, designers, and investors to explore creative use cases for AI agents while celebrating a staple of dev communities: merch, reimagined through an elevated runway-ready lens. Guests received personal agents through @AgentPhoneHQ to play a live game, watched our new merch collection on the runway surrounded by visuals from @fuserstudio and other creative technologists, and enjoyed art and music throughout the night. Thank you to everyone for the overwhelming interest and support. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this event possible.

AI agents can write code, analyze data, and pass the bar exam They can't order you a pizza because they don't have a phone number Think about how much of the real world still runs on phone numbers SMS verification Delivery coordination Account creation Calling a business... Without one, an agent is stuck behind glass @manav2modi & @themeetmodibuilt built @AgentPhoneHQ to fix that Give your agent a phone number and it can suddenly act He told his agent to order DoorDash It created an account, talked to the delivery driver, made the payment Pizza showed up at his door. @ycombinator is a customer. After An engineer tried Twilio and got buried in compliance, AgentPhone had him live in a day Every person will soon have hundreds, maybe thousands of agents working for them The hard part isn't making them smart It's giving them the tools to touch the real world 🎙️ @manav2modi, CEO & Co-Founder, @AgentPhoneHQ on @Fondocom @thestartpod Huge thanks to @mastra for making this episode possible!
