This is a chance for Telnyx to meet the hackers, and discuss their experiences using Telnyx voice AI tool, gathering their feedback.

Brian Mwangi, creator of Tour Scout

Tour Scout is an AI Agent that helps people find bookings in less than 2 minutes instead of having to search through 30+ minutes to precisely find your preference. Making it suitable for both emergency traveling and unplanned circumstances. He won first place at Telnyx TADHack.

Brian is a software developer, based in Narobi, Kenya. Focused on Typescript, Python, and Langchain, amongst many other skills. Check out his Github and Linkedin profiles to see all his endeavors.

For his hack Brian shared his real world experience of arriving in Mombasa and discovering his reservation was no longer available. This painful experience provided his drive.

On feedback for Telnyx, Brian recommended using NPM (Node Package Manager) the default package manager for JavaScript and Node.js that provides a way for developers to share, reuse, and manage code dependencies in their projects. And specific to Brian’s hack for enabling easy agent integration.

A feature Brian really liked with the Telnyx platform are its dynamic variables. This enabled him to store IDs for requests, to ensure accurate results.

Elizabeth Mwangi, creator of Multi-language Voice Survey

Elizabeth Mwangi created a multilingual survey AI that detects the language of the user and conducts engaging surveys in the respondent’s preferred language and gathers meaningful customer feedback.

Testing out Swahili with a native speaker; now that’s TADHack 🙂

For Elizabeth, most of the surveys are English only, not even bilingual, she showed English, Spanish, and Swahili. Elizabeth found the Telnyx agent easy to use, a fundamental criteria for success with a platform. And is planning on using the web-hooks to extend her hack.

Annastacia Mumbua creator of HealthConnectGlobal, with Ronnie Leon Ochieng

Prototype: https://healthconnectglobal.vercel.app/

Now Annastacia had extensive feedback, she was great! She’s a web developer, mostly React, and she also works with Ruby on Rails (full stack). The hack used the PSTN for voice, and they tested out many of the features of the Telnyx platform, including live location.

The extensive logging proved useful, and having both the web voice and PSTN made testing fast, while the solution can work in the real world of PSTN voice. They set up workflows, found the documents solid and the AI interface for the documentation useful.

Annastacia also found the Postman collection for the AI agent was missing, as James revealed, its on the to-do list. You know she was testing out Telnyx in detail.

Well done to all the developers,
and thank you for the world-class hacks
