The most important professional conversations and the best ideas rarely happen in front of a screen. They happen in the moments between meetings, over the phone and across tables. Yet many of the tools we rely on to capture them were built for a desk-bound world that doesn't

Until today, a transcription model never knew what your voice agent just asked. The one we're launching today does. Universal-3.5 Pro Realtime from AssemblyAI is the first realtime speech-to-text model that takes your agent's side of the conversation as context. When your

Let's go! We're out of stealth with @TolmoHQ! AI is completely redefining how software gets built. And how it's being attacked. Helping define what security means for this new world was impossible to resist. We had to go back! We’re building the AI agent fleet to secure
