Bird.com posted the following announcement on their website:

AI agents can reason, plan and decide. To get things done, they also need to communicate.

Send the email. Follow up on WhatsApp. Make the call. Respond to the customer.

That's the opportunity we're building for at Bird.

Today, Bird has secured $450 million in debt financing, led by J.P. Morgan alongside Capital One, Citi and other lenders. The financing comprises a $400 million term loan and a $50 million revolving credit facility. It provides liquidity to our shareholders, including current and former employee shareholders, while keeping Bird private and independent.

We're also launching Agentic Harness, giving AI agents direct access to Bird's communications infrastructure.

I believe this is the largest opportunity we've ever had.
