Hiya provides smart caller ID and call-screening services using machine-learning analytics on a database of roughly 3.5 billion calls to date. Its technology is integrated directly with wireless carriers and smartphone OEMs and is also available as a standalone app. The company reports roughly 20 million users in 196 countries and deep partnerships with carriers such as T-Mobile and AT&T and device makers including Samsung and ZTE. Hiya’s product roadmap includes expanding beyond inbound caller identification into outbound/business caller-ID services that let companies customize how their caller ID appears and surface contextual details like addresses and order status. The company is exploring the use of consented call recordings and natural language processing to further enrich its data and improve spam detection. Hiya aims to restore trust in the phone call by reducing unwanted and nuisance calls and making the phone dialer more useful and actionable.
