“For adding video to your app, Daily is simpler than Twilio Video and more modern than Vonage.”
“Building chat from scratch is a trap. TalkJS handles the hard parts — notifications, read receipts, moderation.”
“Video as a feature in every app requires great APIs. Daily is building the infrastructure layer.”
“Every app needs messaging. Pre-built chat infrastructure will become as standard as pre-built auth.”
