Frequently asked technical questions.

Can the voice agent transfer to a live human if the caller asks?

Yes. We implement automated telephony call-transfer protocols via SIP/Twilio that seamlessly patch callers to your team’s mobile phones or help desk when requested.

How do you handle accents and noisy environments?

We leverage Deepgram Nova-2 speech models tuned for multi-accent recognition and background noise suppression.

What would your team do with more capacity?

Tell me where work gets stuck or which repetitive processes drag your team down. I'll help you map the highest-leverage, fastest-payback automation opportunities.
