AI agents and calls
Which languages can the agent speak?
Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia and English, including mixed speech like Tenglish and Hinglish. With Switch to the caller’s language on, the agent changes language if the caller replies in another one.
Can the agent start in Telugu (or my language)?
Yes. Set the agent’s language and write the opening line in it. It greets in that language and switches only if the caller answers in another.
Does it sound like a real person?
Pick a voice from the voice library; premium voices sound the most natural. The agent can say small words like “haan ji” or “avunu andi” while thinking, and play a soft office background. You can also use your own cloned voice, with the speaker’s permission.
Is there a delay before the agent answers?
The agent starts speaking about a quarter of a second after the caller stops. It stops when the caller interrupts, and it ignores background noise.
How do I teach the agent about my business?
Fill the agent’s Knowledge: products, prices, timings, offers, addresses and answers to common questions. The agent only says what is in its instructions and knowledge.
When does the agent call people?
Only between 9 am and 9 pm India time, and only within the calling hours you set. It also remembers earlier calls with the same person.
Can the agent pass a call to a person?
Yes. Add a transfer number on the agent. If the caller asks for a person, the agent hands the call over.
Business numbers and inbound calls
How do I get a phone number for my agent?
On the Numbers page, choose a city, click Search, then Buy. The first payment covers setup and the first month and comes from your credits. Then pick the agent for the number.
How does the number’s rent work?
Rent renews every 30 days from your credits. If there aren’t enough credits, the number’s calls pause until you pay.
Can customers call the agent?
Yes. Anyone who calls the agent’s number is answered by the AI, day and night. Customers who call back after a missed call are answered too.
Can I use my existing business number?
Yes, by forwarding it to the agent’s number. Your callers keep dialling your usual number and the AI answers. On most Indian mobile networks, dial on your business phone: **21*<AI number># for all calls, **61*<AI number># only when you don’t answer, or **67*<AI number># only when you’re busy. Dial ##21#, ##61# or ##67# to stop. For a landline or office phone system, ask your operator to set call forwarding.
Campaigns
How do I call a list of people?
Campaigns → New campaign: name it, pick the agent, add contacts and click Create campaign. Then click Start calling.
How can I add contacts?
Upload an Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file, paste rows like phone,name, or connect a Google Sheet. One column must be called phone. Extra columns (city, course, amount) can be used in the script, like {{city}}. Duplicates are skipped.
Is there a sample file?
Yes: Excel template · CSV template. The same links are on the Campaigns page.
How does the Google Sheet connection work?
In Google Sheets choose Share → Anyone with the link → Viewer and paste the link. New rows are picked up every 10 minutes and called automatically.
What if someone doesn’t answer?
Busy and unanswered numbers are retried, 3 attempts per number by default, 2 hours apart. If someone asks to be called later, the agent books that time and calls then.
How do I stop calling someone?
Anyone who asks not to be called is added to your do-not-call list automatically. You can add numbers yourself on the Campaigns page. These numbers are never called.
Recordings, results and leads
Are calls recorded?
Yes. Every call is recorded and stored securely. Open any call to play or download it.
What do I see after each call?
The full conversation as text, a short summary, the result (interested, booked, call back, not interested and so on) and the details the agent collected, such as name, budget or preferred time.
Can I download reports?
Yes. Export any campaign, or all calls for a date range, as a file that opens in Excel.
Can results go to my CRM automatically?
Yes. Add a webhook URL on the agent and every call’s details are sent there right after the call.
WhatsApp follow-ups
What does the WhatsApp feature do?
- After a conversation: sends your business details and up to 5 files (brochure, price list, photos) to the customer.
- After a missed or busy call: sends “We called you regarding …, reply here or call us back”, once a day per number.
- New leads: when someone new messages your WhatsApp, they get an instant reply and your agent calls them.
- Inbox: every chat with delivery ticks and the customer’s call history. Reply and attach files from there.
How do I connect WhatsApp?
On WhatsApp → Setup, either scan a QR code (works like WhatsApp Web, ready in seconds) or connect the official WhatsApp Business API with your Meta account. Scanning is unofficial: WhatsApp can ban numbers that send many automated messages, so use a spare number. The official API is ban-safe; Meta charges you a small fee per message you start.
Why didn’t my message reach a customer on the official API?
WhatsApp lets a business message someone who hasn’t written in 24 hours only with a template approved in Meta. Add your template names on the Setup page: the template goes first and your details follow as soon as the customer replies.
Can each campaign send different messages?
Yes. Each campaign can use your default messages, its own messages and files, or no WhatsApp at all.
What if a customer doesn’t want messages?
If they reply STOP, they are added to your do-not-call list and get no more messages or calls.
Is WhatsApp included in every package?
No, it is included in selected packages. The Billing page marks which packages include WhatsApp follow-ups.
Billing and packages
How am I charged for calls?
By the minute of talk time, from your monthly plan first, then minute packs, then rupee credits. Premium voices use minutes faster than standard voices. See pricing.
What is the difference between a minute pack and a monthly plan?
A minute pack is a one-time purchase and its minutes never expire. A monthly plan renews each month with fresh minutes; unused plan minutes end with the month, and extra minutes are charged from credits.
What are credits?
Your rupee balance. Credits pay for calls when you have no minutes left, and for business number rent. Top up any amount on the Billing page.
How do I pay?
On the Billing page, pick a package or add credits, then pay by UPI using the QR code or UPI ID shown and enter the payment’s UTR number. Minutes or credits are added as soon as the payment is confirmed.
Are prices inclusive of GST?
No. Prices are shown before GST, which is added at checkout.
What happens when I run out?
Calls and campaigns pause until you buy a package or add credits. Nothing is lost; campaigns carry on where they stopped.
