Agent Assist & Copilots Contact Center & CCaaS Voice & Phone AI
AI-powered business communications and contact center with built-in transcription, coaching, and virtual agents.
Dialpad's founders have been building phone systems for the internet age longer than almost anyone: CEO Craig Walker previously created the products that became Yahoo Voice and, via GrandCentral, Google Voice. Founded in 2011, Dialpad is a cloud phone system and contact center with AI baked into every call, and its 2018 acquisition of voice AI startup TalkIQ, roughly $50 million, turned out to be the masterstroke. That technology, matured into DialpadGPT and trained on billions of minutes of business conversations, now powers live transcription, sentiment analysis, real-time coaching cards, automatic summaries, and AI scorecards across the platform.
For support teams the draw is having telephony, contact center, and support AI from one vendor. Dialpad Support, the contact-center product, starts around $80 per user per month, while the base Connect phone system starts at $15, and unusually for the industry the core AI features are bundled into standard plans rather than sold as add-ons. Newer agentic AI agents that autonomously handle scheduling, order lookups, and ticket updates are priced per conversation on a quoted basis. Integrations cover Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot, ServiceNow, Google Workspace, and Microsoft Teams.
The company was valued at $2.2 billion after an ICONIQ-led round in 2021 and has raised roughly $450 million from investors including Andreessen Horowitz and Google Ventures.
Dialpad fits teams that want to consolidate: if you are buying a business phone system anyway and support runs heavily on calls, getting transcription, coaching, QA, and virtual agents in the same box is genuinely efficient. Voice-AI purists may prefer a specialist like PolyAI; pragmatists consolidating vendors will like Dialpad a lot.
