Phonic

Phonic is a San Francisco voice AI company (founded 2024, seed-backed by Lux Capital) building the first end-to-end speech-to-speech platform for reliable conversational voice agents. The Phonic API lets developers create and configure voice agents, attach voices, place and receive inbound/outbound phone calls (including via SIP trunking and Amazon Connect), run real-time speech-to-speech conversations over a WebSocket, wire up webhook/WebSocket/context/transfer/MCP tools, and analyze, evaluate, and extract structured data from conversations. It ships an OpenAPI 3.1 REST spec, an AsyncAPI 2.6.0 WebSocket spec, official Node and Python SDKs, a hosted MCP server, and llms.txt docs for AI clients.

agent native

Real signal across most facets with visible, nameable gaps — the contract exists but is thin, or the portal is good while governance and commercial terms are absent.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Phonic the way a machine reads it — 16 machine-readable artifacts across 10 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Phonic scores 48.9/100 (developing), with a separate agent-readiness read of 78/100 (agent native). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Phonic

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Phonic. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 10

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Phonic agents API

The agents API from Phonic — 5 operation(s) for agents.

Phonic apiKeys API

The apiKeys API from Phonic — 3 operation(s) for apikeys.

Phonic auth API

The auth API from Phonic — 2 operation(s) for auth.

Phonic conversationItems API

The conversationItems API from Phonic — 1 operation(s) for conversationitems.

Phonic conversations API

The conversations API from Phonic — 9 operation(s) for conversations.

Phonic extractionSchemas API

The extractionSchemas API from Phonic — 2 operation(s) for extractionschemas.

Phonic projects API

The projects API from Phonic — 4 operation(s) for projects.

Phonic tools API

The tools API from Phonic — 2 operation(s) for tools.

Phonic voices API

The voices API from Phonic — 2 operation(s) for voices.

Phonic workspace API

The workspace API from Phonic — 1 operation(s) for workspace.

MCP Servers 1

Model Context Protocol servers expose these APIs directly to AI agents. We profile them because agent-native access is the fastest-growing way this provider's capabilities actually get used.

Rate Limits 1

Rate limits are the difference between a demo that works and a production integration that doesn't fall over. Publishing them is an operational-transparency signal — and a hard requirement for any agent that plans its own throughput.

Documented rate limits and quota policies.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.

Agentic Access 1

An x-agentic-access contract marks which operations are safe for an agent to run on its own and which need a human in the loop. It is the difference between an API an agent can use and one it can use safely.
