It's that time of year. Black Friday texts hit a 98% open rate, which is why SMS is the channel you don't want to skip this season. But carriers can take days to approve a campaign. Get registered now, not the week of. Full playbook here: hubs.la/Q04zwt_p0

Running voter outreach, fundraising, or GOTV texts this cycle? Every political SMS campaign has to be registered with The Campaign Registry first, and political is vetted more strictly than most. A full resource hub to get approved on the first try: hubs.la/Q04zwzn10

🧟 Spooky season calls for a ghost story: the caller hung up, the media stream dropped, the PSTN leg is gone, but your system still swears the call is active. Billing never stops. Cleanup never fires. A dead call that won't die... hubs.la/Q04zwBzp0

Your customer chats with your bot on the website, then calls in and starts over from zero. It feels like contacting two different companies. AI Chat is one agent that follows the customer across voice and text without losing context: hubs.la/Q04zwS1N0

It's election season, and political SMS is ramping up. The catch: the political use case needs a Campaign Verify token, an EIN, and a compliant website before carriers approve you, and that token takes time to get. Start now. Here's what you need: hubs.la/Q04zwyTL0

Every serious communications app hides the same secret: beneath the product, there's a layer of state management, routing logic, and escalation handling that someone had to build from scratch. For over a decade, that layer wasn't a product. Now it is. hubs.la/Q04y-DdV0

Press 1 for billing. Press 2 for support. Press 0 to give up entirely. IVRs route. IVAs resolve. Here's what that difference actually means in production. hubs.la/Q04y-zSQ0

Today's the day, Palo Alto. This afternoon you'll build an AI voice agent that holds up under real call volume, not one that only survives the demo. You'll put the model in charge of language while your code owns everything that matters. Sign up: hubs.la/Q04yM7SY0

Tomorrow, Palo Alto. We're running a hands-on workshop on building AI voice agents that don't fall apart in production. You leave with an AI phone agent where the model handles the conversation and your code handles the logic. hubs.la/Q04yM6SJ0

"Never offer a refund we don't have." Your prompt says it. The model does it anyway. The fix isn't a firmer prompt. It's scoping. At our Palo Alto workshop on Tuesday, October 6, we build agents where the model's reach is restricted by design. Register: hubs.la/Q04yM6St0

You can segment your audience based on RCS delivery receipts, sending RCS to supported devices and SMS to everyone else. That's just one of the practical questions answered in this Q&A with SignalWire's carrier ops team: hubs.la/Q04yg-kk0

Palo Alto, we're coming to you. If you've ever shipped a voice agent that demoed clean and then set off firedrills in prod, this one's for you. One evening, hands on keyboards, building agents that behave the same at 10 calls as they do at 10,000. Oct 6th. hubs.la/Q04yM1F90

Today's the day. San Francisco, we're on. Build AI voice agents that don't break in production. Tonight, 5:30 PM. Bring a laptop. Bring a charger. That's it. hubs.la/Q04ygZrR0 See you tonight. #voiceai #sanfrancisco

The ClueCon 2026 Videos are Here! All 32 sessions from Chicago are now live on the FreeSWITCH YouTube channel. Three days of real-time comms, carrier-grade voice AI, security, WebRTC, and the unglamorous parts of getting agents into production. Watch now: hubs.la/Q04yGh5W0

TOMORROW: We're coming to San Francisco for a free hands-on voice AI building workshop. You walk out with: - A working voice agent - An AI-driven IVR - Function fillers to kill dead air - An open-source observability dashboard Register: hubs.la/Q04ygZ4w0

A prompt is a suggestion, not a constraint. It will follow your rules most of the time. But “most of the time” is not an engineering standard. Especially not for a contact center handling thousands of calls a day. hubs.la/Q04ygYsj0

Voice AI doesn't fail because the model is bad. It fails because the model is driving. Here's the architecture shift that makes voice AI behave the same on call #10,000 as it did on call #1: hubs.la/Q04ygYp00

Your voice agent nails the demo. Then it transfers a call and the caller has to repeat everything they just said. On Sept 30 in San Francisco, our team is running a FREE hands-on workshop on building agents that actually work in production. Register: hubs.la/Q04yfhL-0

We open-sourced the observability tool we wish existed. P.I.E. ingests every post-call payload and shows you exactly what happened, in what order, and how long each piece took. Because "it sounded fine in testing" isn't a debugging strategy. Learn more: hubs.la/Q04mdGkP0

Voice AI latency is more than one number. It's the sum of transport, turn detection, STT, LLM time to first speakable chunk, TTS to audible audio, and a penalty for every vendor boundary in between. We measured all of it. hubs.la/Q04xgn7t0
