Excelent curation of the voice AI landscape this week. What stands out is how fragmented the capability delivery remains: you're seeing specialized wins in specific verticals (Krisp's isolation model for agents, Hyro's adoption in healthcare, Telenx's telecom play) rather than converging on unified voice AI standards. This actually mirrors the broader AI chip market fragmentation - domain-specific optimizations will likely outpace general-purpose voice solutions for the next 2-3 years. The question becomes whether the infrastructure consolidates after these domain experiments prove their individual viability.
