Voice for the agents your team already built

We built Vocal Bridge to add voice to existing agents. Your team keeps its business logic and tools. We manage the conversation layer.

Co-founded with Andrew Ng's AI Fund and DeepLearning.AI.

Where we started

A decade building voice AI

Ash and Andrew, in conversation.

Before Vocal Bridge, Ash built voice AI at Meta AI, Salesforce and Otter.ai. He knew how much engineering sits between a working agent and a good conversation.

Even with a capable model, someone still has to handle audio, interruptions and the delay while tools run. Repeating that work for every new application slows developers down.

Ash co-founded Vocal Bridge with Andrew Ng's AI Fund and DeepLearning.AI to make voice a standard layer in AI applications. The founding team combines his voice experience with Jitesh's platform engineering and Aditi's product design.

Our mission

Make voice a standard
part of the stack

Developers should be able to add voice to an AI application without becoming audio infrastructure experts. We manage the voice layer so they can spend that time on their product.

Keep the agent your team trusts

Connect a supported agent endpoint to Vocal Bridge. Your agent continues to use its knowledge, tools and rules. The voice integration sits around it.

Evaluate the conversation before rollout

A working demo is a starting point. Use voice evals to test conversations against your own tasks, including what happens when a user interrupts or a tool takes time.
