Meet Bland AI

Bland AI suits teams that want AI agents to handle phone calls such as support, outreach and scheduling, and that prefer a single per-minute rate. Its pathways let you control the conversation. Test calls on a narrow script before you scale up volume.

A practical workflow

  1. Define one call goal and a short script
  2. Build a pathway for the main branches
  3. Place test calls to your own phone
  4. Review transcripts before raising call volume

Illustrative input

This example describes a task, not a tested output. Adjust the source material and settings to your own situation.

Call customers who missed an appointment, offer two new time slots and confirm their choice.

Result check: Listen to recorded test calls and check that transfers, confirmations and edge cases behave as you expect.

Access and alternatives

The Start plan has no platform fee and no card, at $0.14 a minute for talk time with limits of 10 concurrent calls and 100 calls a day. Build is $299 a month with lower rates and higher limits, and Enterprise is custom. Telephony is billed separately.

Choose another workflow when its emphasis fits better: Vapi for a developer-led voice agent platform; Retell AI for building and testing voice agents; Sierra for enterprise customer service agents.
