Everything We Shipped in August 2025

This August, we focused on making agents easier to debug, safer in production, and faster to deploy. From a rebuilt logging stack to structured data capture and new models, here's everything we shipped.

New Features

Enhanced Logging & Observability

We rebuilt logging for clarity and speed. You can now watch live calls, trace every component, and export artifacts into your observability stack.

Redesigned Call Logs UI: Real-time updates with precise filters.
OpenTelemetry Exports: Send artifacts directly into your existing stack.
Flexible Delivery: Deliver logs via webhooks or straight to S3.
Component-Level Tracing: See STT, LLM, and TTS across a call.
Live Debugging: Stream logs while conversations are in flight.

Capture & Validate Data with Structured Outputs (Early Access)

Define a JSON schema and let the agent fill it during the call. The result is clean, predictable data that plugs straight into your APIs and databases.

Schema Compliance: Guaranteed at every turn.
Voice Forms: Collect structured inputs like intake or qualification.
JSON Output: Ready for pipelines without extra parsing.
Dashboard + API: Manage schemas and results flexibly.
Model Choice: Pick the right extractor for your use case.
