It plans the steps, makes the phone calls, and reports back with a complete audit trail. No orchestration code to write and no vendor stack to babysit. [Start Building](https://telnyx.com/sign-up)[Contact us](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) Why Telnyx ## Not just another agent framework Most orchestration tools coordinate work across five vendors and leave you to debug the seams. Missions runs where the calls actually happen. Your agent plans steps, places calls on the Telnyx carrier network, and logs every event through one API, in one operational domain, on one bill. * ### Give it a goal, not a script Describe the task in plain language and launch. Your agent plans the steps, creates the assistant, and picks a number from your account. Orchestration code never enters the picture. * ### Every step tracked, every call logged Missions break into steps with live statuses you can check in the Portal. Each call links to its transcript, audio, and structured results. The audit trail writes itself. * ### Calls on real carrier infrastructure Outbound calls carry A-level attestation, so they get answered. Speech and inference run co-located on the Telnyx network for sub-200ms turns. The same platform that plans the mission carries the calls. FEATURES ## Built for agents, tracked for humans Missions is an API your agent calls directly. Describe the goal in natural language and review the results in the Portal. * Agent-callable API Your agent creates missions, plans steps, and logs events on its own. Install the Telnyx toolkit skill, set an API key, and describe the task. The agent handles the rest. * Step tracking with live status Every mission breaks into steps with pending, in progress, completed, or failed states. You see exactly where the work stands without monitoring the agent in real time. * Complete audit trail Every action is logged as an event and persisted. Results return as structured payloads with conversation IDs linking to full transcripts and audio playback. * Voice assistants, created on the fly The agent spins up a Telnyx AI Assistant per task with a tailored prompt and greeting, plus dynamic variables that update between calls. A quote from call 1 becomes leverage in call 5. * Numbers assigned automatically The agent picks an available number from your account and assigns it as caller ID. Outbound calls carry A-level STIR/SHAKEN attestation, so they get answered instead of spam-filtered. * Calls that sound human Telephony, speech processing, and inference run co-located on the Telnyx network. Sub-200ms round-trip latency keeps the conversation at natural pacing. HOW IT WORKS ## Give your agent a mission Give your agent a task like "call three caterers and negotiate quotes for a 50-person event." It creates the mission, plans the calls, executes them in sequence, and returns a comparison with a recommendation.

Your agent calls it directly to plan multi-step work such as outbound phone calls, track each step's status, and persist results as structured, auditable data. It's designed for goals like parallel vendor outreach, sequential negotiation, appointment booking, and IVR navigation. ### How is this different from writing my own orchestration logic? ### Do I need a specific agent framework? ### What can the agent do during calls? ### How do I monitor a mission? ### Can I review the plan before calls go out? ### What does it cost? ### How do I get started?
