This was a first. I spoke to an AI product on the phone about itself and asked what use cases it was a good for and NOT for. I got a great answer on the last part that that really defined how to use this product. Do we think this will be the future of how people get product information and companies get sales leads?
Kudos to the team at Bland AI for having a call me button.

We helped Bland AI lose $500k in revenue in one week…

*close - but now that we have your attention, here's how we did it.
Bland AI had multiple high-value enterprise contracts waiting, but there was one blocker: they needed SOC 2 compliance, and they needed it fast.
Their existing compliance solution wasn't working: it was too cumbersome, not customized to their needs, and required too much manual effort from their team.
Delve’s platform made it simple. We integrated directly with their infrastructure, provided live compliance monitoring, and managed the audit for them end-to-end. As COO Sobhan Nejad put it, it felt "like TurboTax for compliance."
Here was the result:
✅ $500k in enterprise contracts unlocked
✅ Audit-ready in 7 days
✅ 68 Bland hours saved
"Delve is removing so many roadblocks and headaches that exist with the other compliance platforms." - Isaiah Granet, CEO
Today, Bland AI serves major enterprises like Sears, PayPal, and Better. Their compliance foundation has positioned them for continued enterprise growth.

Billboards have been cropping up throughout San Francisco that look nearly identical to our previous viral campaign and its led to some confusion.
While, it’s often said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, please do not confuse these with Bland’s original billboards as they are not!
Commercial Director at Awell || The CareOps platform
Today I built an end-to-end voice AI conversational pathway in 5 minutes for a patient intake drop-off outreach use case
I triggered it to dial an exec participating in one of our bootcamps
The entire team were shocked
Bland AI's generative pathway builder is the fastest time to value product I've seen on the market
I met Sobhan a year ago & this team's innovation accounting cycle over that year is just outstanding
I've integrated it into Awell care flows and seen how easy it understands context & triggers care flow actions
That's the post - just wanted to plug and shoutout the pace of innovation coming from this very cool product

What is happening? Will AI startups really kill millions of jobs by 2025?
AI is out of its "experiment" phase. The companies that realize this will survive - and the ones who don't won't compete. Employees will be too expensive. Need proof? Watch the video.
It’s from Bland AI. I just tested their platform to build an AI phone agent and any company can go and do this right now:
1. Teach it about your company and the conversations it will have. It won’t hallucinate.
2. Drag and drop any tool (process payments, automatically export to a CRM, etc.)
3. Deploy it to handle inbound/outbound calls 24/7 and watch it self improve, and report on data.
I'll just let you try it yourself on their site: https://www.bland.ai/
Or if you want a minor existential crisis, here’s the advanced model: https://lnkd.in/gjT9MhHV

Wow! What a crazy freak'n week.
By Tuesday, we had 3 trailers filled with pallets of water, tanks of gas, generators, chainsaws, baby formula, food, gloves, tools, and much more. By Wednesday 5am, we were on the road heading toward the only open road from the north into the Asheville area.
In the aftermath of Helene, friends in Asheville were mobilizing. Operating out of the French Broad River Academy, this group of outdoor educators, kayakers, and raft guides we're gathering and distributing emergency supplies. About 100 volunteers are sending as many as 60 Sprinter vans per day filled with supplies up into effected mountain areas. Performing wellness checks, evacuating people from houses, and scouting the destroyed riverbeds and wreckage for people in need. They were boots on the ground before FEMA arrived and will be working on rebuilding after they are gone.
Meanwhile back at home this week, the Props Labs team sprung into action themselves. In about 5 hours, Calvin Hoenes, Bob Ullery ☁ and Kevin Nuest built an Ai enabled helpline to support the deluge of supply requests from across the region. It's in beta at https://upling.com. Built on OpenAI, Bland AI and Vercel it's a 24/7/365 help & supply request line.
I'm just so incredibly proud of all these humans that showed up in time of crisis. Every last one of us. It's going to be a long recovery. But we're here for it. I'm gushing.
