Short answer

How can I manage my phone number inventory with AI?

Your AI uses TextGrid to search for new numbers in specific regions or list the numbers you already have active. You get real-time inventory visibility without logging into a dashboard.

Inventory outcomes

Where your data lands.

What your AI delivers based on your requests.

SEARCH

New number discovery

The AI finds available numbers in your target countries. You get a list of options ready for use.

AUDIT

Active number lists

Your agent pulls a report of every phone number currently active in your account. This keeps your inventory organized.

PLAN

Regional availability

Ask about specific country codes to see what's in stock. This helps you plan your expansion into new markets.

MANUAL

Human oversight

The AI identifies the numbers, but you decide which ones to purchase or assign. It won't buy anything without your command.

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI translates your plain English questions into specific tool calls to TextGrid.
