Is there a Voice AI problem you haven’t cracked yet? There’s a good chance someone at Symphony is building the piece that solves it. Our CEO, @maitreya_wagh, explains why we’re bringing everyone together under one roof. The team building your next model, the team carrying your calls, the investor backing your next round and the enterprise ready to deploy what you’ve built will all be in the same room. Maitreya’s invite comes with a special coupon. Use the code “BOLNA” to get flat ₹1000 off your ticket. Get your tickets here: bolna.ai/symphony

We’re excited to launch a brand new series, "𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐧𝐚, 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬". Every week, we’ll deep dive into one needle-moving problem we’ve solved alongside a team we have partnered with.

Want to build the best voice agent but don’t know where to start? Honestly, the inertia on getting started can feel overwhelming, and that’s exactly where we’d love to lend you a hand. We’re back with another session of The Voice Hour, and this time it’s for the early explorers. Come with an idea, or with a blank slate just to play around with voice AI. Bring your questions and your use cases, and by the end, you’ll walk away with a fully built voice agent that’s ready to make a call. Save your spot here, or share it with someone who needs to get started right away: luma.com/oobcj0yc

India loves to talk, and even more so in its own dialects, which change with every pincode. We’re at home in English on calls with colleagues, immediately switch to Kannada when it comes to confirming the delivery location, and go on to speak in Tamil on a call back home... sometimes all of them on the same call. The motive remains to express; the language ceases to matter, until it comes to voice agents.This is what we set out to solve when we pledged to build for India. We knew exactly the complexity we had signed up for, and yet the unpredictability of languages for Indian callers was harder to solve than we could have imagined. That voyage set the course for what you now see as LiD on @bolna_dev. LiD begins working the moment a call is picked up. It detects the language spoken in real time and lets the agent switch to the language the callee is most at home in. The moment a new language is spoken, the voice agent switches to the best speech models for it, mid-call, without ever losing context. The same agent can cater to a woman in Bengali inquiring about her Durgo Pujo order, alongside a man in Maharashtra wondering if his order is delayed. With LiD, you never have to worry about the default language of your agent. A little behind the scenes ft. @siddharth17 [our Head of Product], @maitreya_wagh [our Co-founder and believer in multilingualism] and the team. Go give it a try at platform.bolna.ai, if you haven't yet!

We are officially only a month away from Symphony. Behind the curtain, the preparations are in full swing, and our team at Bolna is ready to bring Symphony, India’s Flagship Voice AI Summit, to life. It will be a day packed with speaker panels, fireside chats, a Buildathon for learners, live demonstrations, product experiences, an awards night and curated networking sessions with people working in the voice AI industry. Early-bird tickets will vanish into thin air by this Friday. Get your ticket now and claim perks like: 1. A 3-month @WisprFlow subscription 2. ₹2,500 in @SarvamAI credits 3. $100 worth of @bolna_dev credits Save your seat for the big day: bolna.ai/symphony

When you launch your first voice agent, the first few days usually go into listening to calls. It usually turns into a lot of back and forth, where you change something, test it and then go back to the calls again. With @bolna_dev Pilots, our team is with you from day one. You get a dedicated Success Manager and priority support on a WhatsApp group with your team, and every week we get on a 1:1 call to go through your calls and refine your agent together. We work with you on setup and integrations too. P.S. You also get discounted pricing, early access to beta features and subaccounts during the pilot. Open to new users, for more details check: bolna.ai/pilots

Like all things in life, success rarely comes on the first try. And the same is true for our business processes - whether we're trying to reach out to leads, conduct surveys or nudging people to place an order. Instead, the flow needs to be tuned to your customer. Your customer missed a call? Picked it up but rescheduled it? Asked to be contacted over Whatsapp instead? Requires additional info over email? Or you need to gather context from your CRM before calling? Workflows at @bolna_dev now packages all of these functionalities alongside your voice agent to ensure the reach is maximised. Go give it a try on Bolna's playground today: bolna.ai/blog/taking-the-sec…

The curtains have parted to unveil all three halls of Symphony. Sur is where 600+ attendees will share one room with 42+ speakers. Abhyas is where teams will learn and solve problems in tech and AI alongside experts. Mehfil is home to booths, experiences, demos and plenty of conversations around Voice AI. Watching what started as hums a few weeks ago now coming to life has been a thrill and we hope it sparks something for you too.. Come join us on the big day this November.

Mehfil is a gathering where everyone gets a turn to be heard. That's what our third hall at Symphony is about. This is where you’ll get to try the products shaping Voice AI in India, experience demos and talk to the teams who built them, and stay for the conversations that spill (there will be a lot of them) Early bird tickets are live, and we’d love for you to be a part of our Mehfil, come join us.

For the longest time, we considered Voice AI to be inadept for real-world conversations that would hold multiple turns. The accusation was fair with agents getting broken and hallucinating whenever the prompt bloated with way too many specific instructions to navigate from. Fortunately, the Voice AI mavericks wouldn't concede to it and came back with the adaptation of an idea that's been floating for more than 70 years now... the solution is what you now see as Graph Agents on Bolna (YC F25). Read more on the origin story of Graph Agents while we walk you through step-by-step process of building one: bolna.ai/blog/graph-agents-o… So, your customers can have conversations that flow seamlessly with the outcomes you desire.
