Introducing built-in AI voice agents

Update, October 18, 2026

Your AI voice agent can now look up live data during a call: open times in your Google Calendar, a row in a Google Sheet, the status of an order. The easiest way to connect it is Zapier, and if you have your own MCP server you can connect that directly. Just be careful what you give it access to, because anyone who calls can ask for it. See Live data (MCP) for the setup.

Back in 2024 I wrote a post about AI and said "Imagine having an AI agent answer calls off business hours." I also said that if you were technically inclined, you could do it right then.

A lot of you did. More and more of you have been hooking your FlyNumber up to VAPI, ElevenLabs and the like over SIP. It works, but now you've got a second account, a second bill and SIP settings that have to be exactly right. Most people just want an AI answering their number, quickly, without all that.

So we built it in. Finally. As of today your FlyNumber can be answered by an AI voice agent, set up right inside the panel. It's in beta, and I'm pretty excited about it.

Is the SIP protocol making a comeback?

Back in 2022, I wrote a piece about entrepreneurs not taking full advantage of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), and looking back, I feel like I was onto something...

The potential was there: an open, reliable technology that could save businesses money and give them more control over their communications. Looking back now in 2025, that post feels prescient - but with a twist I hadn't anticipated.
