It’s officially time to kill the phone tree. From day 1, we bet that our models would one day be good enough to lead the conversation. Today, they can. So we’ve reimagined how you build agents, putting the model at the center. Pathways no longer orchestrate the whole conversation. They’re one resource your agent draws on, alongside tools and knowledge. We didn’t stop there: • Build agents straight from your favorite coding agent • Deploy across phone, messaging, web, and API • Test changes with A/B experimentation and reimagined evals The result is agents that are more flexible, easier to maintain, and built to improve with every model upgrade. The new dashboard is live today. Customers have until November 15th to migrate their agents. Self-serve customers can do so using one of our migration tools. Enterprise customers will be migrated by your implementation partner. Learn more: bland.ai/blog/introducing-da…
