Frequently asked questions
What can an AI voice agent do for a Canadian business?
A configured AI voice agent can answer routine calls, identify caller intent, provide approved information, qualify leads, book appointments, update connected systems, route urgent calls and transfer conversations to a human.
Can an AI voice agent replace every human call?
No. Businesses should define which conversations the agent may complete and which require transfer or follow-up. Complex, sensitive or exceptional situations should follow a documented human escalation path.
What should a business test before launch?
Test identity disclosure, call routing, appointment rules, pronunciation, privacy notices, integration failures, after-hours behaviour, emergency escalation and the accuracy of every approved answer.
