WHY TELNYX

Building for agents, making our platform agent-first.

FEATURES

Everything an agent needs to show up in a meeting.

Each primitive is independently useful and composes with the rest of the Telnyx stack.

  • Live transcription

    Stream the meeting transcript to your agent as it happens, with speaker labels and timestamps, through Telnyx STT.

  • Programmable speech

    Your agent can make the bot say anything at any point in the meeting. Text goes through Telnyx TTS and plays into the meeting audio.

  • Chat injection

    Drop messages into the meeting chat on Zoom, Google Meet, and Teams. Webex supports joining and transcription but not chat.

  • Post-meeting artifacts

    When the meeting ends, receive structured summaries and action items generated by Telnyx Inference. summarize_on_end auto-generates a summary from the final transcript.

  • Webhook-driven lifecycle

    Set a webhook_url on session create to receive signed meeting lifecycle events. No polling required, but polling is supported for batch workflows.

  • Cross-platform support

    One API surface for Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Webex. Same request shape, same response shape, same webhook contract.

HOW IT WORKS

Four API calls cover the full meeting lifecycle.

Create a session, poll for status, fetch the transcript, and tell the bot to speak.

Create, poll, transcribe, speak

# 1. Create a meeting session
curl -X POST https://api.telnyx.com/v2/meeting_sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "meeting_url": "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij",
    "bot_name": "Standup Bot",
    "summarize_on_end": true
  }'

# 2. Poll session status until active
curl https://api.telnyx.com/v2/meeting_sessions/$SESSION_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY"

# 3. Fetch the live transcript
curl "https://api.telnyx.com/v2/meeting_sessions/$SESSION_ID/transcript?after=0&limit=100" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY"

# 4. Make the bot speak
curl -X POST https://api.telnyx.com/v2/meeting_sessions/$SESSION_ID/actions/speak \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TELNYX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "text": "I have the action items from last week." }'

Same flow with requests

import os, time, requests

API = "https://api.telnyx.com/v2"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['TELNYX_API_KEY']}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

# 1. Create a meeting session
session = requests.post(f"{API}/meeting_sessions", headers=HEADERS, json={"meeting_url": "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij", "bot_name": "Standup Bot", "summarize_on_end": True}).json()["data"]
session_id = session["id"]

# 2. Poll until active
while True:
    status = requests.get(f"{API}/meeting_sessions/{session_id}", headers=HEADERS).json()["data"]
    if status["status"] == "active": break
    time.sleep(5)

# 3. Fetch the transcript
transcript = requests.get(f"{API}/meeting_sessions/{session_id}/transcript?after=0&limit=100", headers=HEADERS).json()["data"]

# 4. Make the bot speak
requests.post(f"{API}/meeting_sessions/{session_id}/actions/speak", headers=HEADERS, json={"text": "I have the action items from last week."})

Same flow with fetch

const API = "https://api.telnyx.com/v2";
const headers = {Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.TELNYX_API_KEY}`, "Content-Type": "application/json"};

// 1. Create a meeting session
const session = await fetch(`${API}/meeting_sessions`, {method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify({meeting_url: "https://meet.google.com/abc-defg-hij", bot_name: "Standup Bot", summarize_on_end: true})}).then(r => r.json());
const sessionId = session.data.id;

// 2. Poll until active
let status;
do {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 5000));
  status = await fetch(`${API}/meeting_sessions/${sessionId}`, {headers}).then(r => r.json());
} while (status.data.status !== "active");

// 3. Fetch the transcript
const transcript = await fetch(`${API}/meeting_sessions/${sessionId}/transcript?after=0&limit=100`, {headers}).then(r => r.json());

// 4. Make the bot speak
await fetch(`${API}/meeting_sessions/${sessionId}/actions/speak`, {method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify({text: "I have the action items from last week."})});
PRODUCTS

One API key. Every primitive your agent needs.

PRICING

$0.65 per hour of bot time in the meeting.

One rate covers the bot in the room and live transcription, billed by the minute. Add speech, an AI assistant, or artifacts only when your agent needs them.

  • $0.65 per hour

    Bot presence and live transcription in one rate. The meter runs from the moment the bot starts joining until it leaves, and is billed per minute.

  • Add what your agent needs

    Speech is $0.000003 per character. An AI Assistant is $0.05 per minute plus LLM tokens. Summaries and action items bill at Inference token rates.

  • Recordings free for 7 days

    Recording starts automatically. After 7 days, retention is $0.05 per recording media hour per 30 days, and deleting the recording stops the meter.

  • Storage, chat, and webhooks are free

    Transcript and artifact storage, in-meeting chat, session events, webhooks, and the Calendar API carry no charge.

FAQ

Meeting API is an API-first agent primitive that lets a developer programmatically add a Telnyx-controlled AI participant to a Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or Webex meeting. The bot transcribes the meeting live, can speak and chat into it, and returns structured summaries and action items when the meeting ends.
