SMS agents

AI SMS at enterprise scale.

The same agent that ran your customer’s voice call sends them a text, and reads the reply. Native SMS, no third-party gateway, with iMessage fall-through and shared memory across every channel.

Delivered · SMS

Same brain. Every channel.

Voice, iMessage, SMS, and chat run the same agent and share the same memory. Customers don’t repeat themselves when the channel changes. The next one picks up where the last one stopped.

SMS without the middleman.

Most “AI SMS” products are wrappers around Twilio. Bland owns the carrier rail end-to-end, one bill, one audit log, one place to fix things.

Native SMS, no gateway

Bland sends SMS directly. No third-party provider sitting in front of your customer’s carrier. One platform, one audit trail, one bill.

iMessage fall-through

When the customer has an iPhone, the agent sends iMessage. When they don’t, the same agent sends SMS to the same conversation thread. No re-onboarding.

Batch campaigns + transactional

High-volume outbound with pacing controls, two-way replies routed back to the same agent, and transactional one-off sends from your backend.

A2P 10DLC + carrier compliance

Sender registration, opt-in management, quiet hours, and carrier filtering handled automatically. TCPA-aware, configurable per workflow.

Or write it the way you write everything else.

REST, JavaScript, the CLI, or MCP for any AI editor. Same API surface across every channel.
