AI Voice Company Hyper Raises $6.3M To Help Automate 911 Calls

Duo Ben Sanders and Damian McCabe officially launched Hyper on Monday, offering an AI voice company that can handle some 911 calls. Sanders, who is CEO, said the product is to deal with the non-emergency calls that take time away from those critical calls that determine the “difference between life and death.”

Hyper answers questions, texts links, forwards calls, and even takes non-emergency police reports. According to Sanders, “Hyper always plays it safe, so if any calls fall outside the approved scope, or if one sounds slightly more emergency, we can automatically escalate those to a human expert just in case.”

Sanders hopes that Hyper can take away at least some of the stress associated with being a 911 caller, in a way that perhaps even brings more people to the profession. Right now, he says, most call centers are understaffed and struggling to hire.

“It’s such a tough job,” Sanders said. “But I know how to build technology that can help; to help call-takers and dispatchers who are the unsung heroes; to help reduce their burden by tackling the non-emergency calls and noise, and in doing so, ultimately help save lives.”

China Launches World’s First Robot That Can Run by Itself 24/7 — Watch It Change Its Own Batteries in Unsettling New Footage

There are many weird and wonderful humanoid robots out there, but one of the most eye-catching machines launched this year can change its own battery pack — making it capable of running autonomously for 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Walker S2 robot, made by the Chinese company UBTECH, is 5 foot 3 inches (162 centimeters) tall and weighs 95 pounds (43 kilograms) — making it the size and weight of a small adult.

Using a 48-volt lithium battery in a dual-battery system, the robot can walk for two hours or stand for four hours before its power runs out. The battery takes 90 minutes to fully recharge once depleted.

Its most interesting feature — which UBTECH representatives say is a world first — is that instead of relying on a human operator to remove and recharge its battery pack, the machine can perform this task entirely on its own.

In new promotional footage published July 17 on YouTube, the Walker S2 robot is seen approaching a battery charging station to swap out its battery supply.

What Stock(s) I’d Buy With $1,000… Right Now

If you pinned me down and said, “Davis, you have to invest $1,000 right now – and you only get to buy one stock," I’d ask, “What’s your purpose?”

If it’s to take a big swing: FNMA. At around $8 per share, you’re buying into a government-backed mortgage titan that could see major revaluation if released from conservatorship. (Or even another Trump tweet hinting at the move.)

If it’s to build long-term wealth with less drama: NVDA. Yes, it’s already a $4 trillion company. Yes, it trades at around 55x earnings – expensive by traditional standards. But here’s the key: Nvidia is expected to grow earnings 50% this year. And another 40% next year.

It’s not just a chip company. It’s the backbone of the AI economy.

You don’t need a perfect pick – you need the right pick for you. Hope that helps.
