Guava has raised $12.5M in seed funding to build conversational voice AI as an API - one proprietary stack spanning speech recognition, speech synthesis and language models, built together rather than stitched from third-party vendors.
The company's pitch is that your logic runs the conversation in code, not prompts: rules are versioned, tested and reviewed like the rest of your codebase, while your CRM, EHR and workflow engine stay the source of truth. Guava says it has 10B+ live agent minutes, 100+ deployments and 13 years in production, with a 99.9% uptime SLA and 14 days from kickoff to first live call. It ships into BPO, healthcare, vertical AI, insurance, fintech and government.
