@SaranBluri @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Thank you!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi congrats guys!!

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…

@NamanBansal0611 @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Thanks!!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi congrats!

@anandabhinav217 Thanks for the support and sharing your experience!!

Have been using this for a while to build my outbound pipeline to book meetings with Founders. And it's amazing how @AgentPhoneHQ has handled everything on their own. A simple prompt helped me set it up on my machine. Sign up Now to get $5 Credit!!

@KKonline8850 @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi @vapiaibusiness Not yet but very soon!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi are you available in @vapiaibusiness ? i.e. can vapi use the numbers you generate as the phone numbers there?

@dflieb Now is the time to make something agents want!

There's a new class of startup to be built where the customer is agents instead of developers. Seems possible that the market is 10x the existing human-centric incumbents.

@geren8te @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi The agent skill is right on our website: agentphone.ai

Wow that is impressive, you guys are onto something. Why don’t you make an agent skill so I can tell my hermes agent to get a phone number? Also one missing layer is not just phone number but also voice model around it. Nobody wants to build that. Ideal api: text instructions -> call transcript.

@quantumaidev @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi @twilio Give both a try :)

@AgentPhoneHQ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi @twilio Is that so @twilio ?

@geren8te @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Straight from carriers and yes!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi Same play as agent mail but my question is like where are these numbers sourced from and are they accepted when registering for different services?

@quantumaidev @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi @twilio Twilio was built for enterprise speed, not agentic.

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi Hmm ok...it takes under minute search @twilio !

@alpervision @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Which is why we built the trust layer in. Compliance, registration, and identity is baked in before a single message goes out.

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi phone number is the routing, not the trust. the receiving side decides what counts and that layer doesnt move just because the agent has a number now. solving the dial tone is the easy half

@Aiagent_s @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Make something agents want!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi Its time to Build Apple for AI agents...

@shashankmodi_ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi Thank you!

@AgentPhoneHQ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi That’s great then, I anyways do not object this being possible because anyways this was coming sometime soon. But even though a robust compliance is in place, some situations can go out of hand that was my concern. Good luck to your team though!

@shashankmodi_ @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi That’s why the compliance infrastructure is already built in

So AI will also have phone numbers now, upon thinking how this can impact us - if it does book for us or speak on behalf of us, it would be easier to recognise who is associated with the response. But on the other side of the coin, this technology also allow anything illegal to be associated with a number and do more than what it currently can.

@ssailaukan @ycombinator @themeetmodi @manav2modi That’s why we have guardrails in place.

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi nice, now we can automate scam calls

hard launch

soft-launching new domain (agentphone.ai) 👀

Make Something Agents Want

@usenaive Do they need a phone number…?

Naïve company formation just killed Stripe Atlas. Agents can now incorporate real companies, straight from the CLI. Get started by just prompting your agent: "Follow Naïve AI's docs to register and incorporate my company [name]" Your agent will then: > handle identity verification and KYC > form an LLC/C-Corp in any US state > file state documents and pull Articles of Incorporation & EIN letters Free CLI, free API — you only pay the no-markup $249 formation fee when your agent actually files (covers state fees, registered agent, EIN, all of it.) The "download a company" stack is real now. Try it ↓ 🔗
