Steve Egan reposted thisSteve Egan reposted this🎙️ The Renaissance of Voice is here – and it's more powerful than ever. I joined Fabio Cerone from Amazon Web Services (AWS) to discuss how Amazon Nova Sonic and Vonage's Voice API are redefining what's possible in global communication. What makes this partnership so powerful is the combination of Nova Sonic's intelligence with Vonage's carrier-grade infrastructure across 190+ countries — available through AWS Marketplace, helping enterprises move from concept to production in just weeks. We've moved far beyond "press 1 for ...". Today's AI-powered voice agents are multi-turn, context-aware, multilingual, and increasingly human-like — capable of handling sensitive, high-stakes interactions in finance, healthcare, telecom and beyond. And the impact is already real: ✅ Fraud prevention — detecting suspicious activity and verifying identity through natural conversation, in under a minute ✅ Customer onboarding — turning a 20-minute call to a 3-minute conversational experience, while maintaining compliance ✅ Proactive service — enabling telcos to reach out before customers even know there's a problem, turning reactive moments into trust-building ones Agentic AI meeting global voice infrastructure. = A new era for voice. And we're just getting started. 🚀 🎥 Watch the clip, then catch the full conversation on the AWS for Telecom page 👉 http://spr.ly/6040BBxirA

Steve Egan shared thisSo great to have the incomparable David Darmon host such an amazing evening. Great food, company and conversation.Steve Egan shared thisMost networking events lack real substance and I am not one to usually post pictures of dessert but last night the conversation, the company, and the five-course dinner at HIDE London were all equally compelling. Thank you to David Darmon, Terry Pullin. Reiko Sato and the Vonage team for hosting a lively executive roundtable dinner on Next-gen Fraud Protection with Mozes Janse and The Ortus Club. #SIMSwapDetection and #SilentAuthentication were just two of the signals discussed in the wider fight against fraud but they stood out. No code, no text, nothing for the user to do and nothing for a fraudster to intercept; just a silent handshake between your app and the mobile network protecting the customer and the business in real time and entirely in the background. A seamless API proposition with real-world teeth! #Payments #FraudProtection #Fintech

Steve Egan reposted thisHad a great time co-hosting a session with Oscar Rodriguez at Enterprise Connect on transforming brand engagement with Voice AI built on #AmazonNova Sonic and Vonage. One key takeaway: the tools and technology are here, and it's the best time for developers to build voice-first experiences. For example, developers can seamlessly stream audio calls from the Vonage Voice API into Nova Sonic via WebSockets to power their real-time voice agents. Thank you Jason Keel, Navya Davuluri, PhD and everyone else who joined and contributed to the discussion.

Steve Egan liked thisSteve Egan liked thisIt pisses me off when so called "advisors" who've never built anything themselves give founders advice that literally destroys their health, relationships, and decision-making ability. Six to ten years is the average time from startup to exit. You think you can sprint for a decade without consequences? I've seen founders finally "make it" only to realize they're too burned out to enjoy it. Their marriages are over, their health is shot, and they don't even know who they are outside of work anymore. The startup world is obsessed with unsustainable heroics. But here's what actually separates successful founders from the ones who crash out: They treat themselves like their most important hire. You wouldn't hire a CEO who never slept, made decisions while stressed, had zero work-life balance, and burned through relationships. Yet most founders do exactly that to themselves 🤷♀️

Steve Egan liked thisSteve Egan liked thisDropped my daughter off at Wisconsin four years ago and watched her walk into the dorm without looking back. Picked her up a couple weekends ago. Officially graduated. Double major, double minor. People ask if college is worth it anymore. I'm almost in the camp that says no. Most kids coast through, treat it like a four-year vacation, and come out the other side not much different than they went in. She did the opposite. Studied abroad in Barcelona and instead of just drinking her way through Europe, she went to gym classes in different parts of the city, took workout classes in different neighborhoods, and traveled the continent on money she'd saved herself. Fifteen countries. Lived with five roommates in an apartment over a row of bars. Four years of sorority life. Multiple internships. College actually teaches the kids who put the effort in how to fend for themselves. How to manage roommates and group projects and a sorority calendar at the same time. How to be on your own in a foreign city and figure it out. How to adapt. That's the part that translates. In ten years, AI is going to reshape what most of those degrees actually mean. The independence won't budge. Pretty proud of her.

Steve Egan liked thisSteve Egan liked thisThe U.S. mobile experience has been stuck in 2015. For a decade, we’ve lagged behind Asia. While we were forcing customers to download clunky apps or navigate mobile websites, much of Asia shifted its entire economy to messaging. We called it "Conversational Commerce." In reality, it was just a dream for US marketers. Until now. With Apple finally adopting Google #RCS, the technical "Berlin Wall" of mobile messaging has fallen. The infrastructure is finally here to turn the inbox into a transaction layer. The Shift: From: "Click this link to visit our site." To: "Buy, book, and track right here in the thread." The Impact: AI Assistants: Real-time shopping help in your pocket. Frictionless Checkout: One-thread journeys from discovery to payment. App-less Loyalty: High-value engagement without the "Download our App" barrier. The inbox is no longer for notifications. It’s for business. Is your strategy still built for the web, or for the conversation? #ConversationalCommerce #RCS #CustomerExperience #richbusinessmessaging #DigitalTransformation #MobileMarketing #FutureOfRetail #AI #Messaging #ConversationalAI cc: Dan Miller Kane Simms Oscar Rodriguez David Creasey-Benjamin Alexandre Allemand Tim Ziter Pia (Pinar) Dincer Andreea Saioc Dexter Zavalza Sherry Comes

Steve Egan liked thisSteve Egan liked thisExcited to see Informatica expand its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) around headless data management, Amazon Quick, and agentic AI. As enterprises move from copilots to autonomous workflows, trusted data becomes the foundation. Informatica is bringing metadata, data quality, lineage, governance, and master data capabilities directly into AWS agentic experiences and Amazon Quick through MCP servers and CLAIRE Agent skills. This is a meaningful shift. Enterprise AI is no longer just about the model — it’s about whether agents can securely access the right context, reason across systems, and take reliable action on enterprise data. The combination of AWS, Amazon Quick, and Informatica helps move agentic AI closer to real enterprise execution at scale. https://lnkd.in/gSTstB3f with: Rik Tamm-Daniels Gopinath Sankaran Jigar Thakkar Savinay Berry Stuti Sureka Sunil Menon Julie Otis Jose Kunnackal Rahul Pathak Swami SivasubramanianInformatica Announces Headless Data Management for AWS to Power Trusted, Enterprise-Ready Agentic WorkflowsInformatica Announces Headless Data Management for AWS to Power Trusted, Enterprise-Ready Agentic Workflows
