Bland

Bland provides an enterprise voice AI platform that customers use to build, run, and monitor AI phone agents for regulated and high-stakes calls such as healthcare, insurance, and financial services. Agents can be deployed on phone, SMS, and web and connected to other systems. The page describes observability for tracing agent decisions, a testing workflow for improving agents without affecting live calls, and self-hosted or on-premises deployment options. It states that the platform runs on Bland's own models and infrastructure, supports 40+ languages with real-time translation in 23, and holds SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports, HIPAA compliance, and PCI DSS self-attestation. Per-minute pricing covers the language model, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and telephony, with enterprise plans contracted based on volume and requirements. The page also cites customer results such as reduced call center costs and higher CSAT, and says most production agents go live in two to six weeks.
