NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2025 / Serial tech entrepreneur David Schlaegel has officially launched Tells.co, a cutting-edge platform delivering AI-powered SMS and voice automation solutions to marketers, agencies, and platforms that demand scalable and human-like customer communication. With the rise of conversational AI reshaping how businesses connect with audiences, Tells.co arrives at the perfect moment-designed by builders who understand both the tech and the pain points it solves.

Schlaegel, who began coding professionally at age 16, has spent the last decade building and scaling high-tech systems-from launching a website builder for mortgage companies to managing multi-million SMS marketing infrastructures. The inception of Tells.co marks a major milestone in his entrepreneurial journey, one deeply rooted in problem-solving, automation, and forward-thinking design.

Redefining Communication with AI-Powered SMS and Voice Automation

At the core of Tells.co is a conversational AI engine that allows businesses to qualify leads, schedule appointments, and follow up with prospects-without human intervention. Unlike traditional messaging platforms bogged down by friction and delays, Tells.co's technology creates seamless experiences at scale, enabling users to interact with customers through intelligent and personalized automation.

"Before LLMs hit the mainstream, we were already deploying AI agents that handled entire lead funnels via text," says Schlaegel. "Watching thousands of appointments get booked without a rep touching the phone made it clear-we were building something ahead of the curve."

The Entrepreneurial Vision Behind Tells.co

Schlaegel's entrepreneurial philosophy, "Move fast, build what people actually need, and don't overcomplicate it", has guided his ventures across fintech, SaaS, and blockchain. As co-founder of both Tells.co and Blockovia, a blockchain investment and development firm, Schlaegel is intent on continuing to push the boundaries of what's possible in tech.

"My goal is to expand Tells.co's reach, mentor founders in the AI and fintech spaces, and develop tools that bring blockchain into practical business use cases," he adds. "Everything we build is aimed at solving real-world problems better than before."

Beyond the business, Schlaegel is a family man who balances his fast-paced career with a deep commitment to being present with his wife and two sons. His leadership style is rooted in hands-on action, trust, and clarity, and reflects a founder who leads from the trenches and builds companies with integrity.

Built by Founders Who've Lived It

What sets Tells.co apart isn't just the technology-it's the experience behind it. Schlaegel and his long-time co-founder created the platform based on years of trial, feedback, and successful ventures in the messaging space. The result: a robust, intuitive, and scalable solution built for marketers who need AI-powered SMS and voice automation that just works.
