Company Background

Dialpad was founded in 2011 with the mission to transform how the world works together through AI-powered communications. Dialpad began in cloud communications and has evolved into an AI platform for customer experience where conversations are powered by real-time intelligence and agentic AI.

Built on extensive real-world conversation data across voice, messages, and video, Dialpad delivers AI that can understand not just what customers say, but how they feel, what they need, and what resolves their issues. The platform brings together contact center, business communications, AI Agents, conversation intelligence, and workflow automation in one place, giving organizations a continuous source of operational insight from customer interactions.

Dialpad's platform is built on a dual-cloud architecture and global voice network, delivering enterprise-grade reliability, HD call quality, and scalability. Platform-native AI operates before, during, and after customer conversations, including real-time transcription, summaries, context-aware live coaching, training and QA, self-service, analytics, and agentic AI capabilities that can take configured actions within business workflows, helping teams reduce manual work and support better customer and employee experiences.
