From “Ask Your Developer” to “Ask Your Assistant”: Why Telnyx Is Betting Big on Voice AI
At CASA25, the Showcase Challenge wasn’t about polished slides or perfect demos. It was about ambition, direction, and showing where this industry is heading. Telnyx’s session delivered exactly that—even if the demo gods decided to test everyone’s patience along the way.
What looked like a simple appointment reminder call quickly revealed something far more interesting: a glimpse of how CPaaS is evolving from APIs and flow builders toward natural-language-driven platforms built for Voice AI at scale.
A Voice-First CPaaS, Built Before Voice AI Was Cool
Pete, leading the Telnyx showcase, has seen the CPaaS industry evolve from the inside. From witnessing Jeff Lawson demo early Twilio at an SF New Tech meetup, to becoming the first product manager for voice at MessageBird, to now helping build Telnyx’s European presence—he’s lived through multiple CPaaS eras.
That context matters, because Telnyx is not an SMS company adding voice as an afterthought. It started as a voice and number provider, building its own network over the past decade with a focus on high-definition audio, low latency, and global reliability.
That foundation turns out to be critical for Voice AI.
