About

Vapi is the developer-first voice AI infrastructure platform for building production-grade AI phone agents and web voice assistants. Teams bring their own LLM — GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini — along with their preferred speech-to-text and text-to-speech providers, and pay Vapi $0.05 per minute for the low-latency orchestration layer that ties them together with sub-500ms response times. The platform ships a visual Flow Studio for designing conversational logic without code, a function-calling API for real-time tool use during live calls, and a webhook system for CRM and calendar integrations. Enterprise plans include HIPAA compliance, dedicated infrastructure, and unlimited concurrency. Vapi handles over one billion minutes of voice AI calls annually and is used by thousands of developer teams across healthcare, finance, and customer service.
