Meet Modi

@rayandabbagh @ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @manav2modi @boardyai yes, you can bring in your own stack too! we will port it over at no cost.

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi very cool, congrats to the team. is this backwards compatible though, or am i missing the point? icp would be builders of voice agents who already have figured this out (e.g. @boardyai etc) regardless that sounds super cool, congratulations

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…

@IshitaJindal17 @ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @manav2modi exactly!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi every agent needs a phone number!!

@emirayaaz thanks emir 😎

@OneManSaas @ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @manav2modi agents need an identity and phone number!

@ycombinator @AgentPhoneHQ @themeetmodi @manav2modi The timing is perfect. Every AI agent becoming a customer service rep needs this. Building phone identity for agents before someone slaps regulatory barriers on it is brilliant execution.

@mil000 ragebait final boss 🙏

@nicolomagnante @arseniycodes don't fight guys, i need superlog

we’re putting 200 builders in a room at YC and asking one question: what can you build when an AI agent has a phone number, email, browser, wallet, and real APIs? best agent gets a guaranteed YC interview. also, yes, winners get actual phones.

@heydave7 dave, have you tried @AgentPhoneHQ?

I spent the past 24 hours setting up OpenClaw and making it useful. - AI assistant lives on my Mac and connects to iMessage, a web browser, and phone calls - Set up automated voice calling — calls restaurants using OpenAI's realtime voice API through Twilio, sounds like a real person, and hangs up on voicemails (this took a very long time to get working well) - Had it call 80+ Korean and Pho restaurants across 5 cities (Dallas, Houston, Phoenix, Seattle, Sacramento) asking about MSG and real bone broth - Set up monitors that check scan Elon's tweets for Tesla-relevant posts, and track the Dallas Open tennis schedule — all alerting me via text - Generated 100+ detailed PDF guides — restaurants, activities, tennis courts, trading strategies, even a video games catalog - Had it call Dick's Sporting Goods asking about 3-star table tennis balls and call arcades asking about DanceRush Stardom - Had it build a photo-rich PDF system that screenshots Google Maps, grabs satellite views, embeds real photos, and creates guides better than a web search - Integrated ElevenLabs music generation — it made my son a custom table tennis hip hop anthem on demand All running on a MacBook Air with zero cloud infrastructure beyond API keys. My conclusion: surprisingly very, very useful. The future is going to be wild. There’s still major limitations and shortcomings of the AI models and it still makes mistakes which can be frustrating. But it’s a game-changer having an AI agent able to schedule tasks, send communication, and keep memory local. Also, very neat to have it save files on my desktop.

Your agent has a phone number now. What are you gonna make it do? May 17th @ YC. Win and get a guaranteed @ycombinator interview. Sponsored by @GoogleDeepMind @stripe @supermemory @agentmail @usemoss @browser_use events.ycombinator.com/CallMyAgentHac…

@valmianski @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq working on it right now to provide a frictionless whatsapp ax. let's chat?

@themeetmodi @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq For WhatsApp there are pretty strict rules for business accounts around having to follow templates, how do you handle that? (For some of our latam customers we’d love to do WhatsApp, we use twilio rn)

I'm a pretty happy @thelinqapp users but kind of interesting that YC P26 batch has funded two competitors @AgentPhoneHQ and Chert (and they also previously funded @sendbluehq). Absolutely love iMessage/texting as agent communication channel and love seeing it grow.

@valmianski @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq extending capabilities on voice, whatsapp, and more as well

@themeetmodi @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq But concretely what does that mean when comparing to eg linq.

@valmianski @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq can speak for agentphone, we want agents to have access to the same channels that humans do using phone numbers

@themeetmodi @thelinqapp @AgentPhoneHQ @sendbluehq ok, so as a company that sells an agent that texts people via iMessage (infra by linq), how should i think about Chert vs AgentPhone vs Linq?
