Frequently asked questions

For routine calls—scheduling, FAQs, lead qualification, reminders—AI handles them as well or better than human agents. Complex issues can be transferred to your team.

Traditional call centers cost $25–$65 per agent hour. AI handles thousands of concurrent calls at a fraction of the cost with zero hold times.

AI transfers calls to human agents when needed. It can also schedule callbacks if no one is available.

Most businesses deploy their AI call center in under an hour. No hardware, no phone systems to configure—just set up your AI agent and go.

Yes. AI scales instantly. Whether you get 10 calls or 10,000 calls, response time stays under one second.
