Story
Inside Choice Hotels, engineering used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer discretionary groups working out of the United States. Developers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Choice Hotels 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 Choice Hotels 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.
