The interface of the future is human. We’ve raised a $40M Series B from CRV, Scale, Sequoia, and YC to teach machines the art of being human, so that using a computer feels like talking to a friend or a coworker. And today, I’m excited for y’all to meet the PALs: a new human-computing interface. PALs are emotionally intelligent, multimodal, and capable of understanding and perceiving. They can see, hear, reason, and even look like us. We’re releasing our 5 favorite PALs to start. Each PAL has its own distinct personality- from AI assistants to best friends. PALs: - Meet us where we are. Face-to-face over video call, on the phone, or even by text. - Are always thinking. They’re proactive, reach out first, remind you about what you forgot, or might just check in on you. - Understand us, finally. PALs can see us, understand our tone, emotion, and intent, and communicate in ways that feel more human. - Evolve with you. PALs have advanced memory, remember your preferences and needs, and adapt themselves over time. - Are capable. PALs can handle complex tasks — from responding to your emails to moving your schedule around to creating docs and doing research for you. Science fiction promised us a new human-computer interface, beyond the GUIs of yesterday, a human-like interface that would feel second-nature to use. That future never came, until now. Charlie’s story brings this idea to life. We’re excited for you to meet Charlie and his PALs for free at tavus.io Enjoy the film 👇

Deel has raised $300M at a $17.3B valuation We started about 6 years ago, struggling to even make $10K. I've never shared this before because of how embarrassing our start was. The story of how we went from $1K to $1B and the advice I'd give to my younger self:

This will be my last day as a Co-Founder of @OpenPhone. Because starting today, OpenPhone is rebranding to Quo. Oh, and we've raised $105 million in growth financing to help businesses never lose a customer again. You probably have a lot of questions, so let me break down what's happening: 1) $105 million in growth financing We have raised $105 million in growth financing led by @generalcatalyst's Customer Value Fund and with participation of existing investors @craft_ventures, @slow, @GarageCapital, and @ycombinator. This funding gives us the resources to invest further in what our customers love most and to help us reach more businesses. 2) Why OpenPhone is becoming Quo When @mahyarraissi and I started OpenPhone in 2018, our mission wasn't just to help businesses make calls and send messages—it was to help them build stronger customer relationships so they could grow faster. You can even see in our YC application we described ourselves as "phone meets CRM." But as the years went by, we realized the name "OpenPhone" only tells part of our story. While it worked when we were focused only on the business phone, it started limiting where our customers needed us to go. With Quo as our name, we can finally tell the full story. Think of Quo as your business's customer hub, with phone at the center. It's how you win customers and keep them happy. Although our name has changed, what matters to us hasn’t. We are still obsessed with building great products and helping our customers never miss an opportunity. 3) What's changing with the product We're launching major upgrades to our voice AI agent Sona based on everything we've learned from our customers: - You can now start using Sona for free on all plans with our new tiered, usage-based model - Every customer gets 10 free Sona calls per month - Sona can now handle more sophisticated scenarios and can be trained on custom jobs - It can also now transfer calls to a human if needed -- To our incredible customers—we simply wouldn't be here without you. Thank you for trusting us to power your customer communications. Thank you to our team for the care and energy you’ve poured into making this milestone happen. And to our investors—thank you for believing in our vision.
