Brooke Hopkins ( @bnicholehopkins ) is the founder and CEO of @covaldev , a simulation and observability platform that helps enterprises test, monitor, and evaluate AI-powered voice agents at scale. Coval works with customers like Perplexity and Deepgram to process tens of millions of calls per month and has just raised a $28.2M Series A. Brooke sat down with @harjtaggar to talk about how leading evaluation infrastructure at Waymo turned out to be surprisingly transferable to voice agents, why voice is emerging as the first productionized use case for autonomous agents, and how she narrowed a broad evals idea into a focused enterprise platform—including the moment a customer offered to pay her before she'd written a single line of code. 01:16 — Why Voice Is the Killer AI Interface 02:37 — How Enterprises Are Adopting Voice 05:44 — The Missing Infrastructure for Voice 06:58 — Where Voice Agents Fail 12:32 — Lessons From Waymo 16:38 — What Product-Market Fit Actually Feels Like 18:20 — Why They Bet on Enterprise 25:35 — Leaving Waymo to Go Solo 29:02 — What's Next for Coval Your browser does not support the video tag. 🔗 View on Twitter 💬 6 🔄 9 ❤️ 30 👀 12287 📊 10 ⚡
