Play AI — the voice tech startup founded by Egyptian duo Mahmoud Felfel, who graduated from Mansoura University, and Hammad Syed, with early backing from angel investor and advisor Amr Awadallah — has recently been acquired by Meta.
Building the Future of Voice
Play AI is known for its ultra-realistic AI-generated voices and speech tools, and is now joining Meta’s Superintelligence Labs to help shape the future of AI-native voice agents.
Powering the Voice Revolution
Play AI became the voice infrastructure behind Groq Cloud, powering real-time agents across sales and support, and scaling to eight figures in annual revenue.
From Nasdaq to the Big Leagues
The acquisition comes just weeks after the founders rang the Nasdaq opening bell — a major milestone marking Play AI’s rise as a leader in generative voice technology.
Big moves, even bigger voices — all starting with two Egyptians changing the game.
