Bland → toolkit-voice

Bland's strength is pathway-style call flows. We bring the same primitive — declarative YAML pathways — and bundle the carrier so you stop paying Twilio separately.

Pathway YAML

Bland pathway → toolkit pathway. Same primitive, declarative YAML. Version-controlled. Code-reviewable.

YAML

# pathways/auto-dealer.yaml
nodes:
  - id: greet
    say: "DC Motorcars, this is Tony. What can I help you with?"
    next: classify

  - id: classify
    listen:
      - match: "test drive"
        next: book_drive
      - match: "service"
        next: transfer_service
      - default: ask_clarify

  - id: book_drive
    tool: book_test_drive
    say_on_success: "Got you down for {{date}} at {{time}}. See you then."
    next: confirm_close

  - id: confirm_close
    say: "Anything else I can help with?"
    end_after: 2
