Happyrobot builds AI agents to automate phone calls in the logistics industry.

From simple check calls with truck drivers, to contract price negotiations between enterprises, our AI agents are able to provide and gather information more efficiently than other alternatives.

We believe that voice will become a much more prevalent interface for digital systems, and we're building the tools to make that possible.
