AI platform for phone-first sellers
Terrakotta is a power-dialer that lets sales reps leave AI-generated voicemails. Our first customers are Commercial Real Estate brokerages that use Terrakotta to clone their brokers voices, dial prospects and when no one answers, leave an A/B tested, personalized voicemail that gets a callback.

Gabriel Wilson
I'm one of the founders of Terrakotta. Before building Terrakotta, I was obsessed with scaling peer to peer networks. By day, I was a SWE at Lyft where I wrote code that powered millions of rides and by night I built StoreStash a profitable gig economy storage platform. Now I'm all in on AI voice because our sales engagement platform will connect millions of people with the right message at the right time.
Company Launches
TL;DR: Terrakotta is a web-phone that uses personalized AI voicemails to double the number of contacts you can engage over the phone. Voicemails left using Terrakotta are personalized to every contact and generate more callbacks than generic scripts.
šHey Everyone! Weāre Kus, Vincent, and Gabe (from left to right) and we are the founders of Terrakotta. Terrakotta lets users leverage their unique voice (yes, their literal voice) to grow their business. Weāre calling it āvoice nurtureā.
Problem
Voicemail is a great growth channel to generate interest and callbacks from leads, but historically it hasnāt scaled well. Leaving voicemails during call sessions is:
- Time-consuming
- Repetitive
- Tiring
Solution: āļøā”ļøHereās what a call session looks like in Terrakottaā”ļøāļø
With Terrakotta users can clone their voice, load up a contact list, and set a dynamic AI voicemail script that will be personalized for unanswered calls. From there, users can flip on the auto-dial feature and zoom through their call list, reaching up to 100 contacts/hour.
(Donāt worry: the contacts are not real people; the phone numbers are our many test lines)

We (strangely) have lots of friends in commercial real estate, and the number one thing they complain about is making outbound phone calls. Weāre using our experience with software development and GTM in different contexts to take on this problem in commercial real estate and prove the ability of voice nurture as a growth channel.
