The universal context engine connecting agents to data, tools, and models
One normalized API connects your product to hundreds of HRIS, payroll, ATS, CRM, accounting, ticketing, and file storage systems with read and write access.
Give agents secure, authenticated access to thousands of pre-built tools across third-party services, with scoped permissions and audit logs.
Route every model through one API with automatic failover, pre-built or custom routing rules, and spend and performance controls.
Distribute approved MCP connectors, models, and skills to employee AI tools with per-team budgets, DLP scanning, and audit logging.
Build, test, and deploy production-grade voice AI agents over API
Configure speech recognition, an LLM reasoning layer and text-to-speech through one API instead of integrating several vendors separately.
The platform handles real-time audio streaming, interruption handling and call state so conversations feel natural and responsive.
Provision Vapi phone numbers or bring Twilio, Vonage or Telnyx, and support both inbound and outbound calling from the same agent.
Simulate calls before launch, then track transcripts, effectiveness metrics and compliance signals across every production call.
