Experimenting in what’s possible

Bandwidth Innovation Studio

The home of Bandwidth’s boldest ideas. From early-stage concepts in AI to explorations in data and next-generation communications. This is where we share our prototypes, experimental releases, and explore what’s next.

Proof of Concept

Voice AI Edge Platform

This proof of concept is our investigation into the next generation of infrastructure, designed to overcome the core challenges of latency, performance, and tool fragmentation when building and operating voice AI at scale. It tests the hypothesis that a single, pre-integrated platform deployed at the PSTN’s network edge can deliver low-latency, responsive voice AI agent experiences by providing a unified foundation for deep observability, secure data lifecycle management, and real-time multi-agent collaboration. Ultimately, the goal is to provide AI engineers with a superior, cohesive platform for building, deploying, and managing the next generation of complex, high-performance voice agents.

Experimental Release

AI Receptionist

Developed as an agent on our Voice AI Edge Platform, this project is our exploration into radically simplifying voice agent deployment, designed to overcome the traditional barriers of high cost, long setup times, and the need for specialized engineering skills. It tests the hypothesis that a simple, conversational setup can empower anyone—not just engineers—to configure and deploy a powerful, knowledgeable AI Receptionist in minutes using natural language, business documents, and a website URL. Ultimately, the goal is to provide our innovative partners with a powerful, turnkey solution that allows them to rapidly create and deploy valuable voice AI services.

Our approach

Our work is guided by a disciplined philosophy that balances visionary goals with rapid, evidence-based learning. It’s built on three core principles.

Transformative impact

We focus on foundational market challenges to unlock large-scale opportunities and create massive impact.

Built to learn

We create functional prototypes to quickly test our riskiest assumptions and validate ideas with real-world feedback.

Uniquely Bandwidth

We focus on the challenges that can only be solved at the intersection of our owned and operated network, unique data assets, and emerging technologies, like Generative AI.
