Bird is building for software that can act.
AI agents need a connection to the real world. Bird’s Agentic Harness lets them use communications infrastructure through MCP, CLI and skills, from sending messages to managing the resources behind them.
That work builds on years of investment in the networks, APIs and delivery systems businesses depend on. Our ambition is to make running a business radically simpler.
