Story
Inside Starling Bank, engineering used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in financials groups working out of the United Kingdom. Developers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Starling Bank uses Voice Agents from Cartesia as the working layer for software delivery. Cartesia develops real-time voice AI, including Sonic text-to-speech and Ink speech-to-text, for conversational products and agents. The practical change is simple: engineering has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Starling Bank gets from Cartesia is a durable place to run engineering and a way for developers to see the same software delivery at the same time.
