Gupshup
An Indian conversational messaging company whose self-serve Voice AI Platform, launched in September 2026, builds and runs AI voice agents for phone calls and WhatsApp voice. Strengths: self-serve Voice AI Platform from $0.035 a minute, with free test minutes; voice agents on phone calls and on WhatsApp voice; long messaging track record on WhatsApp, RCS and SMS. Honest limitations: a console to build and run agents yourself, not a finished lead caller; it names no languages for voice, though its Voice AI page claims 100+, so test yours on a real call.
ElevateBox or Gupshup: which to choose
you want a finished lead caller, live from a plain-language brief, that calls in Telugu, Hindi or English rather than a console to build one
you already run WhatsApp or SMS on Gupshup and want to build voice agents on the same platform
