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.

01Turn-taking

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

02Who picks up the phone

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.

Inbound

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.

Scheduling

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.

Outbound

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.

Commerce

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.

Out of hours

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.

Retention

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.

03Why this one

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.

04The difference

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

05On the call

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.

Handoff

Transfer to a human, cold or warm

Outbound

Place the call, not just answer it

Voicemail

Know a machine picked up

IVR

Press the digits a menu asks for

Recording

Capture the audio without risking it

06Getting one running

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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

07What it costs

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.
08Before you ask

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.
