What We Do
For over a decade, we built the infrastructure behind conversations, chat, voice, video, messaging APIs. We became the #1 CPaaS platform for in-app communications. 4,000+ brands trust us. 7 billion messages flow through our platform every month. 300 million monthly active users. We powered conversations for DoorDash, Match Group, Noom, Yahoo Sports, Rakuten, and thousands of others. We were good at what we did. Really good. We also saw it early: AI would fundamentally reshape how businesses talk to customers. The infrastructure we'd spent a decade building, the plumbing, would become commoditized. The value would move up the stack, into intelligence, into experience, into outcomes. We had a choice: protect what we built, or reinvent ourselves. We chose reinvention. In December 2024, we made the full strategic pivot to AI-first customer experience. By February 2025, we'd launched our AI agent for enterprise CX—built on a decade of conversation data, now with intelligence on top. And in November 2025, we rebranded to Delight.ai. The name says it all. AI's real promise isn't efficiency or cost savings. It's giving customers back something they lost. The feeling of being truly understood and cared for. Not satisfied. Delighted.
Why Work With Us
Sendbird made a deliberate call to reinvent itself around AI before the market forced its hand. We're not watching from the sidelines. We're building what AI-driven customer experience actually looks like. Fast-moving, mission-driven, and full of people who genuinely show up for each other.
