Why a single voice AI call rarely closes the loop, how Bolna Workflows give every call outcome a next step with retries, waits, extraction, API calls and WhatsApp follow-ups, and how to build your first one.

How Graph Agents work on Bolna, from nodes, transitions and routing order to per-node control, where they fit, and a step-by-step guide to building your first one.

How the Bolna engineering team cut TCP connections across their WebSocket server fleet by hundreds per pod, without adding a single server.

Our real-time voice service containers were using too much memory and restarting mid-call. Two fixes: preloading workers and copy-on-write sharing.
