11 October 2026

Every offline pack now includes the agent

A plain list of what we shipped today, what we tested for real, what we have not tested yet, and our measured speed. Nothing here is a promise; the limits are in the open.

What shipped

What we tested for real, and what we did not

We ran the agent against real services on 11 October 2026: a real Twilio account and phone number, a real Slack workspace and a real Google Calendar.

TestResult
Signed app event starts a workflowPassed
Outbound phone call that plays the pack's recorded audioPassed
Inbound call menuPassed
Inbound text recognised and answeredPassed
STOP opt-out recorded; later texts and calls to that number blockedPassed
Slack posts from three different workflows, and a signed slash commandPassed
Google Calendar (read-only): found an event, took the phone number and consent from its notes, fired the reminder workflowPassed
Text delivered to a phoneNot proven: US carriers blocked it while our business-texting registration is still in review
Email, Microsoft Teams, Outlook, calendar event creation, GitHub and Stripe webhooksNot tested yet

The tests found four rough edges, and we fixed them the same day: the agent now records whether a text was really delivered (not just accepted), says plainly when a service is not set up, reports honestly when a text was blocked, and takes a single Slack channel setting. Behind those results are 85 automated tests. The voices are AI-generated, and non-English packs are marked native-speaker review pending.

Speed, measured

These are our own medians from real calls, measured 9 October 2026 from a laptop in New York against our test environment, network time included. Full method and the numbers we are not proud of.

WhatMedian
A sentence in an offline pack, or one we have already stored0.14 s (no generation, no per-play fee in a pack)
A brand-new short sentence, paid account (fast lane)0.37 s
A brand-new sentence, paid account0.48 s (0.80 s for a long, two-clause sentence)
First spoken sentence over our WebSocket, paid account0.54 s
A brand-new sentence, free account (standard lane)5.83 s

The fast lane serves paying accounts: a new sentence comes back in about half a second, against about six seconds on the free lane. We are working on narrowing that gap for free accounts, and on getting faster still.
