Tomorrow at 2 PM IST, I’m putting myself in front of the public for 24 hours.
I’ll be live on r/VoiceAutomationAI for an open AMA.
So bring me your hardest question. I’ll take the ones on product, pricing, pilots, Indic and code-mixed voice, and building a voice AI company in India.
For someone who’s new here:
Vaani is a Bengaluru deeptech startup building voice agent infrastructure from the ground up: speech models, orchestration, and an agent platform for Indian languages and code-mixed speech. Our goal is to be the "Stripe for Voice AI."
Post it on r/VoiceAutomationAI. Link in the comments 👇
If you know a founder or product lead building in voice AI, share this with them.
Looking forward to dig in together.

We’re launching the VAANI Developer Platform in 4 days, and the waitlist is live now.
1. Spending hours building your own agent?
2. Want your agent to sound like you?
3. Tired of robotic conversations?
4. Does your agent lose the plot when someone interrupts?
5. Still manually managing every outbound call?
Oct 29, on Product Hunt for builders, founders and product teams.

Building Voice AI has made one thing clear to us: a good voice is only one part of a “good” conversation.
Because it’s just not a speech model. It’s a conversation, phone line and a backup plan, all working at once with a stranger who won’t follow your script.
Three real problems that we solved while building our upcoming platform:
1. Conversation management:
Handling interruptions, call memories, and scheduling callbacks.
2. Voice & emotions:
Capturing tone, mood, emotion, and pitch to make conversations feel more natural.
3. Production reliability:
Keeping conversations running with backup models when things go wrong.
VAANI Developer Platform is built for the founders, builders and product teams who want to ship their own voice agents.
Launching on Product Hunt, Oct 29!!
9 days to go for the launch, and here’s what the Vaani Team is doing right now:
Distribution: finalising the plan to get Vaani in front of a wider audience on the launch day.
Tech: final polishing of the amazing features the team has built to make the agents behave more humanly.
Business: hosting tons of online and IRL events to help the developers build on Vaani’s powerful voice harness.
Content: shooting the launch videos.
People: getting new hires ready for the new roles, because launch day is just the start of work, not the end.
Our goal with this launch: To make our custom voice AI platform accessible to all and take Vaani to the world ✈️
Oct 29 on Product Hunt.
See you there!!
Customers in Coimbatore and Lucknow should get the same call quality as customers in London.
Most voice AI is built in English and stretched to other languages. You hear it when a caller switches between Hindi and English mid-sentence.
We’ve built voice agents for 30+ businesses across 10+ languages and accents, using one internal tool.
So we opened a public beta and shaped the platform with them.
Models make an agent speak like a human. Our orchestration platform makes it behave like one: the greeting, the instructions, what happens when a caller pushes back.
We are launching on Product Hunt on Oct 29, for founders, product managers and teams who want a voice agent to live in their customers’ language, without building the stack.
I spent this morning at @OpenAI Founders Day hanging out with the team at the frontier lab, their partnerships team, and other super-talented founders running $10M to $100M companies.
OpenAI is working on a lot of interesting stuff. Here are some of the observations:
1. Token usage at the top firms is running 8 to 10x the typical firm. And has significantly grown over the last 8 months. Now if you look at this, it's not a simple adoption; its rewiring how companies function.
2. ChatGPT Space: Where human teams and aI agents share one context, working the same problem side by side. Like a workspace.
3. ChatGPT now lives inside Slack and Teams.
4. OpenAI Auth to sing into different websites.
5. Codex is now in the cloud and CLI also has a facelift.
6. Dev platform now has tons of features in it.Everyone is fighting over the model.
The ones compounding quietly are building the operating layer on top. Harness, context, tools, memory. Get that right and the model underneath becomes swappable. That is the layer we are building at @VaaniHQ, but for speech.
Like OpenAI, Vaani is going after the harder architecture and infra problems for low-resource languages & dialectal geographies.
And as Marc puts it, this is the best time to build. Genuinely.
Cheers!
Late night scenes at @VaaniHQ
Something exciting is gonna happen soon 🤫
@VaaniHQ is scaling faster than the team building it.
Right now, we're building the models and infrastructure behind Voice AI, along with India's most comprehensive platform for creating, testing, evaluating, and deploying voice agents.
Backed by the top VCs, Vaani's products are waiting to ship, there're workflows to improve, customers to make happy, stories to tell, and a hundred things happening in between. And somewhere in all this, we also need to sleep (occasionally) 😋
So we're hiring 4 absolute beasts to help us through the chaos:
→ Founder's Office - Growth (Intern)
→ Founder's Office - Strategy & Operations (Intern)
→ Product Management Intern
→ Product Design Intern
For this, we're ditching resumes and Google Forms. We want to see how you'd help us build Vaani. Let your work speak before you do.
How to apply:
1. Fill out the form: Link in comments (yes it's a google form, but just to contact you) to get access to our platform
2. Poke it, break it, play with it, build something. Find something you love, something that annoys you, or something you think we're getting completely wrong.
3. Answer one question: "How would you make Vaani better?" Go unhinged. It could be a redesign, a better workflow, a growth idea, a content experiment, or something we haven't even thought of.
4. Post your answer publicly and tag @VaaniHQ and @dstartupkid. Don't just tell us what you'd change. Show us what you'd do.
The best submissions will get a shoutout from us, no matter the outcome.
In return: Handsome compensation, real ownership, zero layers between you and the founders, and midnight jam sessions after big launches.
Show us what you’ve got 💪
