## About Bland

Bland, at [bland.ai](<https://www.bland.ai/>), is an enterprise voice AI platform for building, running and monitoring AI phone agents. Agents take inbound and outbound calls and can also work over SMS and the web. The use cases Bland lists include replacing an IVR phone menu, appointment scheduling, after-hours coverage, identity verification, and payments and collections.

Bland says the platform runs entirely on its own models rather than on outside speech-to-text, language model and text-to-speech vendors. Developers get a Calls API, a Text to Speech API and a CLI with an MCP server. Bland also offers self-hosted and on-premises deployment, and says most of its customers are regulated companies in healthcare, insurance, financial services and government.

In November 2026 Bland introduced Tofu-1, its first speech-to-speech model, as a research preview for a limited number of enterprises.

Pricing: Bland says it charges a single per-minute rate that covers the language model, speech-to-text, text-to-speech and telephony, and that enterprise plans are contracted based on volume, dedicated infrastructure and compliance needs. This listing doesn't record a rate. Tofu-1 is a research preview by request with no self-serve access.
