Bird secures $450 million debt financing as it launches infrastructure for AI agents
Bird’s Agentic Harness lets software agents communicate through the same messaging, voice and email infrastructure businesses use to reach people.
Giving software agents a communications channel
Bird’s Agentic Harness connects AI agents to messaging, calling and email, allowing them to contact customers and coordinate with people through established business channels. The launch builds on Bird’s communications APIs, which companies already use to manage customer conversations across channels.
