Phonic

What it does

Phonic is a speech-to-speech model and agent-building platform for teams developing real-time voice applications. Its Phonic-1 model takes callers’ audio directly and generates spoken responses. Developers can define agent behavior with prompts, configure voices and languages, and use tool calls to let agents take actions during a conversation. The product supports building, evaluating, and deploying agents through an API, TypeScript and Python SDKs, a CLI, or a no-code agent builder.

The workflow is to sign up, create and configure an agent, then connect it to a calling or application environment. Conversations can use webhooks, a WebSocket, or LiveKit; the company describes use in customer service, recruiting, user research, and patient intake. Teams can use the agent for live conversations, including handling interruptions and handing urgent cases to a person or service. Phonic is intended for developers and organizations deploying voice agents, not for general-purpose text chat.

The service is available through Phonic Cloud, with dedicated, VPC-peered, and self-hosted deployment options listed for enterprise customers. Pricing is usage-based per minute; the Pro plan has a monthly minimum. The public pricing page does not specify a trial, and its advertised free credits are tied to signing up by a stated date. Phone-number and telephony arrangements may require integration with external providers.
