• Bland Agent platform Sold on its own

  Voice AI platform for building, testing and running AI phone agents that handle inbound and outbound calls, with the same agent able to work over SMS, iMessage and web chat, an API, conversational pathways, and per-minute pricing that includes the language model, speech-to-text and text-to-speech.

• Bland Speech API service Sold on its own

  Bland's text-to-speech model, built for phone calls and kept natural with breaths, stumbles and pauses, used in a web studio or through one streaming API endpoint, with voice cloning and a director that writes and performs scripts from a scene description, billed per character.

Inside Bland

• Norm Agent platform Included with the parent
