Announcing callsono.ai . I hate nothing more than pointless waiting. Yet here we are in 2026, and basic customer interactions still revolve around it – waiting for someone to pick up, to call back, to answer your question. So we decided to do something about it. Sono builds Voice AI that automates complex phone operations at scale. Our agents make bookings, route calls, answer inquiries, reactivate leads, and call old customers – plugging into the systems you already run on. Inbound or outbound, every call gets handled. And customers love it: 📞 35,000 calls handled 🤝 15 customers across 3 countries 📈 50% MoM growth We consistently beat the targets they set us. No one has ever churned. Everyone who reasonably can has expanded. Happy to share we've raised $1.5M from @MakiVentures @FailupVC @WaveVentures , and joined Founders House Helsinki — all to build the best-performing Voice AI for the most complex use cases. Join us in killing phone queues for good. Learn more: callsono.ai
