The voice-native LLM

A frontier LLM built for voice.

Sub 185ms responses. Lowest P99 in production (~200ms). 90% cheaper than GPT-5.4.

Powering voice teams across industries

Five things a LLM has to get right for voice.

01 · Latency

Globally distributed infrastructure and intelligent scheduling massively improves latency

Multi-region routing keeps the model close to the caller, and priority scheduling puts live calls ahead of everything else — so responses land under 150ms even when traffic spikes.

02 · Reliability

You can't afford for your LLM requests to fail.

Most frontier-lab models hit rate limits, get bottlenecked on requests, and experience latency spikes. Alma was designed to make sure this never happens.

03 · Sounds human

Trained on phone calls, not text.

People talk differently than they type. Alma was trained on millions of phone calls and responds naturally to every turn.

Sure, my email is j-doe-underscore-87 at gmail dot com.
An email — let's get it exactly right. Go ahead and spell it for me.

Perfect — [email protected]. Confirmation's on its way.
04 · Accuracy

Built for conversational flows and tool calling.

When dealing with phone calls you can't afford to skip a step or miss a function call. Alma is built to adhere to the most complex conversational flow.

Why we built Alma

We spent 3 years and millions of calls fighting slow and expensive LLMs that aren't built for phone conversations, so we built Alma. Our team of PhD ML researchers in speech built the LLM we wished we had.

The Phonely team

A specialist, not a generalist.

Use Alma for
Appointment booking

Reliable, repeatable scheduling across calendars.

Customer interfacing

Answer, route, and resolve routine inbound calls.

Lead qualification

Qualify and score inbound leads on the line.

Debt collection

Compliant, on-script, calm under pushback.

Function calling

High-accuracy tool calls, DTMF, lookups, transfers.

Human-like conversation

Natural turn-taking, interruptions, and pacing.

Not built for
×Open-ended, multi-agentic autonomous workflows
×Long-horizon planning across many tools and steps
×Creative writing, coding, or general chat assistants
×Tasks with no repeatable, definable call structure

Need those? Pair Alma with a general model and let Alma own the call.
