What it does

PHLO is for developers who are looking at rapidly deploying communication capabilities (Voice calls, SMS and more) into their application. PHLO eliminates the need to refer to documentation back & forth, drastically reduces lines of code & integration steps so that you can build even complex use-cases rapidly, and ship faster. Keep building! 🤘

Build AI agents your way: fully programmable with streaming APIs and SDKs, or no code in AI Agent Studio. Deploy across voice, chat, SMS, and WhatsApp.

Go fully programmable with streaming APIs and SDKs, or launch from a prompt in AI Agent Studio. Two paths to production on one platform. Stream live call audio into your own pipeline over WebSocket, or connect your stack over SIP. Bring your own STT, TTS, and LLM, or use ours. Describe the agent you need in plain English. Vibe Agent builds the flow; test it in the Playground and go live from your browser. Start with our fully managed stack or strip it down to just audio streaming. Bring your own STT, TTS, and LLM, or use ours. Full control, zero hassle. Any STT, LLM, or TTS through Pipecat, with 8 ready-made guides. Or go speech-to-speech with OpenAI Realtime and Gemini Live. Point LiveKit,…from plivo.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

    Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
