Programmable voice AI
Voice agentsthat know whento stop talking.
Answer and place real phone calls with an agent that listens while it talks — interrupt it and it stops, like a person would. We run our own speech engines rather than reselling someone else’s, so it costs less per minute and the pause between turns is shorter. You pay for connected minutes and nothing else.
- Priced by the minute
- Connected minutes only. No seats, no per-agent licence, no idle-number fee.
- Our own speech engines
- Transcription and voices we run, so the minute is not a reseller's markup.
- It stops when you speak
- Interrupt it mid-sentence and it hands the floor back, like a person would.
- Nothing is locked in
- Bring your own carrier, model or voice accounts whenever it suits you.
Stopping is the hard part.
Any model can talk. What decides whether a caller stays on the line is what happens in the second they start speaking over it. Getting that right is engineering, not a better prompt — which is why most agents still talk over you.
How eagerly it yields is a slider you set per agent, so one taking orders in a noisy kitchen and one on a quiet clinic line do not have to share a setting.
- 01 · You start talking
It hears you over its own voice
The agent is listening the entire time it is speaking, not waiting for a gap to check. It does not need a full sentence, or even a full word — the first sound of you cutting in is enough.
- 02 · It stops
Mid-sentence, not end of sentence
It does not finish the thought it was halfway through, and it does not trail off politely. It stops where it is, which is what makes it feel like talking to a person rather than waiting out a recording.
- 03 · It drops the rest
Whatever it was about to say is thrown away
The rest of that answer is discarded rather than queued up, so it never resurfaces four seconds later on top of you. You have moved the conversation on, and so has it.
- 04 · You keep going
And the floor is yours
It is already listening again, so you can just say the thing you interrupted for. Nobody has to repeat themselves, and nobody has to wait for a beep.
The calls you are already taking.
Or the ones going to voicemail. Every one of these is a job the agent does end to end on a real phone line — not a script it reads until somebody asks something it did not expect.
Front-line support
Answers first, works out what the caller needs, solves what it can and hands over what it cannot — with the context, so nobody starts again from the top.
Booking and reminders
Finds a slot, books it, calls back to confirm it, and rings the ones that go quiet. Calendar tools are wired in rather than faked in the prompt.
Qualifying new leads
Calls a list, asks the questions your form asks, and hands the ones worth a person's time to a person while the caller is still on the line.
Orders and order status
Takes the order, or looks up the one they are ringing about. Reads from your systems mid-call rather than from a document it was trained on.
After-hours cover
Picks up the calls that currently go to voicemail at 9pm, deals with the simple ones, and books the rest into the morning.
Renewals and follow-up
Rings before a renewal lapses or after a quote goes cold. Leaves a message in the agent's own voice when a machine picks up.
It also means nothing about the stack is locked. Use our transcription and voices at our rates, or bring your own accounts and pay the vendor directly — same platform, same agent, your choice per agent and reversible on any Tuesday. The one thing we will not do is put a flattering number on this page that your first invoice contradicts.
Six things that usually go wrong.
None of these are exotic. They are what a voice agent does to a real caller in its first week, and what a voice platform does to your invoice in its first month.
Talks over you, or makes you wait for a beep
Stops mid-word the moment you cut in, then listens
Rents its speech engines and adds a margin to your minute
Runs its own, so there is no middle layer on the bill
One fixed stack — their carrier, their model, their voices
Your carrier, your model keys, your voice vendor, per agent
A supplier has a bad minute and the call dies
The turn quietly runs again on the fallback you nominated
Priced per seat and per agent, before a single call
Priced per connected minute, and nothing while it waits
Works in the demo, surprises you on the first real call
Call it yourself from the console before a customer can
The parts nobody demos.
A demo shows the happy path. These are the five things a production line hits in week one — and each is a setting, not a rebuild.
Transfer to a human, cold or warm
Place the call, not just answer it
Know a machine picked up
Press the digits a menu asks for
Capture the audio without risking it
An afternoon, not a project.
There is no SDK to adopt and nothing to deploy. The whole loop — authoring, a real test call, a live number — happens in one console.
Write it, or draw it
Give it a prompt in plain language, or drag together a flow when the conversation has to go a fixed way. Pick a voice, wire in the tools it can use.
Ring it yourself
Call the agent from the console and talk to it. Interrupt it, ask it something awkward, watch the transcript as it goes — before a customer ever gets the chance.
Point a number at it
Take a number from us or bring one you already own. Choose the agent that answers it, and it is live on the next call that comes in.
Connected minutes. Nothing else.
- You pay for
- Minutes where the call was actually connected.
- You never pay for
- Seats, agents, idle numbers, or building and testing.
- Why it is less
- The speech engines are ours, so no reseller margin.
The four we get every time.
Including the answer about speed, which is that we will not give you a number we cannot yet defend.
How fast is it, in milliseconds?
We are not publishing a number yet, because we cannot yet measure it well enough to defend one, and a flattering number you later find to be wrong is worse than no number. What we can tell you is where the time was taken out: the agent starts speaking its first sentence while it is still working out the second, and it runs on speech engines we operate rather than ones we call out to over somebody else's network. When we can measure it properly, the number goes on this page.
What does it cost?
Usage-based: you pay for connected call minutes, invoiced monthly. No seat licences, no per-agent fee, and nothing accrues while a number sits idle waiting for the phone to ring. Rates are agreed per account during early access — tell us the volume you expect and we will quote it straight.
What counts as a billable minute?
Time the call is connected, measured from answer to hang-up. Ringing does not count, an agent waiting on a number does not count, and neither does building or testing an agent in the console. Failed and unanswered calls are not billed.
I already run agents somewhere else. How much work is switching?
Less than you are budgeting for. The agent, phone-number and call schemas take the field names and shapes your team already writes — a deliberate decision, so that evaluating us costs an afternoon rather than a sprint. The four call actions, the conversation-flow wire format and the dynamic-variable precedence rules all match. Where a field has no equivalent on a provider you picked, it is stored and reported as inert rather than silently approximated.
We are onboarding teams one at a time so we can watch the first real calls with you. Tell us what the agent needs to do and we will tell you honestly whether it is ready for it.
