As part of our America 250 series, we wrote about the American genesis of the drive-thru and how John Galardi - founder of one of our customers Wienerschnitzel - was a key part of this history! The drive-thru transformed America in a uniquely American way, optimizing across access, speed, and quality in a way never possible before. Give it a read! 🌭 Presto Phoenix, Inc.

Awesome to be on the Voice AI panel today at the MIT Media Lab AI summit with my fellow friends and MIT alums Karan Kashyap & Nicholas Leonard. Building Voice AI in the wild is messy, a constant game of optimization, but is creating real value and transforming industries. Thanks for moderating Paul Liang ! Presto Phoenix, Inc.

25 years ago, a McDonald's drive-thru in Wyoming served 407 cars in one hour. It was (and may still be) a McDonald's record. And it took obsession, technology, and a team of more than 60 employees to make it happen. Steve Smyth, now the head of tech at Taco John's International, Inc., was managing that McDonald's back in the summer of 2001. In this week's column, he recounts how it all went down.

Presto is announcing 100 Days of Celebration for America's 250th Birthday! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I can't believe we aren't celebrating this milestone more as a nation. Only 10 nations or empires have ever reached 250 and we are the only republic. You can't spell America without AI and the entire fast food industry, franchise model, and drive-thru are uniquely American inventions. We can all appreciate our nation, regardless of our individual political views. As our country carries the flag for another technology revolution, Presto is proud to be American and to work with iconic American brands. Our AI agents are trained to be Americans from all different backgrounds. We're excited about celebrating this over the next 100 days leading up to July 4th!
