Across Canada, 911 lines are strained and wait times can be long. But a Canadian startup says it can speed up response times and help save lives using its AI voice agent to help dispatchers address real emergencies more quickly. Read our deep dive: https://t.co/V0bCwA8Cb5
☎️ @TorontoPolice, the 4th largest city police dept in North America, is launching Hyper AI to answer Non-Emergency Calls.
"Well over 1 Million Calls are coming in [to our 911 center], over 600K are Non Emergency Calls"
Thank you @CTVNews! #911

I’ve called 911 before - in Toronto.
Any second waiting can feel very long, especially in an emergency.
That’s why this really matters.
By automating non-emergency calls—50% of calls into 911—@TorontoPolice is shortening wait times for real emergencies, which can save lives.

From serving fries to saving lives. 🍟🚨
Always great seeing Jason & the team at @OpenAI.
Together, we’re building @call_hyper — voice AI for 911 that eliminates wait times, when every second counts.
PS: @sama backed my 1st startup, @presto_com — leader in drive-thru voice AI.
🚨 @call_hyper's voice AI is already saving lives —
handling up to 65% of non-emergency 911 calls — freeing dispatchers to focus on real emergencies, where every second counts.
Live across Canada & the U.S. 🚀
Thx @Joe_Castaldo & @globeandmail.

The @call_hyper team was on-site to support @CanadianR2R today as officers cycled 🚴 through @HaltonPolice, honouring the dedication of those who make the ultimate sacrifice, putting their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. 💙
@FP_Champagne My Canadian team, @call_hyper, backed by @cohere, is helping other gov't agencies across the country like Police, automatically resolve more than half their non-emergency 911 calls with voice A.I. - freeing up humans for the more important calls. Could help the CRA too! ☎️⚡️
Today @EniacVC is proud to lead the $6.3M seed round for @call_hyper, now out of stealth with a voice AI platform built for non-emergency response.
Co-founders Ben and Damian are tackling one of the most essential and overburdened systems in the country: 9-1-1.
Hyper’s voice AI is in active use by 9-1-1 systems in cities across the country - answering non-emergency calls instantly, reducing wait times to zero, and helping dispatchers stay focused on what matters most.
This is AI deployed where it counts: trained on real call data, fluent in 30 languages, and built to serve the public at scale. 👇🏽
New week, new job posting!
@call_hyper is revolutionizing emergency response systems through cutting-edge AI technologies. Our first product is reducing 911 wait times by alleviating administrative work from highly trained 911 telecommunicators.
We raised $6.3M to bring voice AI to 9-1-1.
@call_hyper is helping 9-1-1 agencies across the country, answering non-emergency calls instantly, in 30+ languages, with zero wait.
