In the portal

## No code where you want it. API everywhere you need it.

* [AI Assistant builderInstructions, greeting, voice, language, tools. A Test tab runs scenarios written in plain language against pass or fail criteria, before a number is ever attached. Same object as POST /v2/ai/assistants.AI assistants](https://telnyx.com/products/voice-ai-agents)
* [SIP trunks and profilesElastic trunks, credentials, IP auth, failover, per number routing. Live in minutes, no ticket.SIP trunking](https://telnyx.com/products/sip-trunks)
* [InferenceOpen source models running on GPUs Telnyx owns, in the same racks as the media plane. OpenAI compatible chat completions and embeddings. Pick a model in the portal or call the endpoint.Inference API](https://telnyx.com/products/inference)
* [Numbers and portingInstant activation in 140+ countries. FastPort submits ports in bulk with automatic carrier identification and validation up front, and port-ins are free. E911 and CNAM on the same screen.Global numbers](https://telnyx.com/products/phone-numbers)
* [ReportingDetail records, usage reports, monthly charges, message deliverability. Export from the portal, or read the same rows through the Usage Reports API.Reporting](https://support.telnyx.com/en/articles/4305547-reporting-overview)
* [Managed accountsSub accounts with their own API keys, balances, payment methods and invoices, for platforms reselling or separating tenants.Learn more](https://telnyx.com/resources/managed-account)

Agent native

## Humans get a portal. Agents get an endpoint.

The same control plane, published for the buyer with no hands. All four surfaces are live today.

* [llms.txtThe index. Every machine surface, versioned.Open](https://telnyx.com/llms.txt)
* [/ai/pricing.jsonThe rate card as a file, with a stated last verified date.Open](https://telnyx.com/ai/pricing.json)
* [api.telnyx.com/v2/mcpMCP server. Discover endpoints, read schemas, invoke. The link opens the server card, since the endpoint itself wants a bearer token.Server card](https://telnyx.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json)
* [agent-signup.mdSignup is an API, not a sales queue. Challenge, signup, magic link, key.Runbook](https://telnyx.com/agent-signup.md)

## Open the portal. Or skip it and use the key.

Same primitives, same rates, same invoice either way. Support answers 24/7 on every plan.
