The company behind Seamless OS, now serving Telia and Truecaller, takes a new name as it turns to making large established operators AI-native.
(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Valdyr positions Seamless OS as the AI-native execution layer for telecom operators: the layer on which commercial decisions are carried out, rather than a system of record that reports on them.

The platform supports operators across the United States, Europe and beyond. Recent additions include Telia, the Nordic incumbent operator, and Truecaller, the caller-identification company.
"We ran an operator on the same legacy systems everyone else runs on, and developed our way out of them, creating Seamless
