Stream Chat

Stream Chat is a messaging API and SDK suite for developers building in-app chat. Teams integrate it to ship production messaging in weeks instead of building and maintaining real-time infrastructure in-house. Client SDKs cover React, Swift, Android, Flutter, React Native, Angular, JavaScript, Unity, and Unreal, each with a UI kit you can customize or replace entirely. The backend runs on Go and RocksDB across 12 global edge locations, holding sub-40ms latency and 5M concurrent connections in a single channel behind a 99.999% uptime SLA.

Dial - Phone Numbers for AI Agents

Dial gives AI agents their own communication identity. Through a single REST API or MCP tool, agents can provision real US, Canadian, and international phone numbers and immediately send and receive SMS, WhatsApp messages, and voice calls - no carrier setup, no separate integrations for each channel. Dial is built for the agentic era, where AI agents increasingly need to act on behalf of users: signing up for services, completing 2FA/OTP verification, placing outbound calls with a local caller ID, and handling inbound communication across every channel.
