AI Telephony and Voice Assistants
Use AI to handle and automate certain voice interactions: phone reception, qualification, information transmission.
Simple calls that mobilise the team
Many calls received by a company are predictable: book an appointment, ask for opening hours, confirm information, forward a request.
Yet:
- each call interrupts someone working;
- calls arrive outside business hours and remain unanswered;
- the same questions receive the same answers dozens of times a day;
- badly forwarded requests get lost between departments.
A voice AI assistant can take on part of these exchanges — with clear rules and a handover to a human when necessary.
What is a voice AI assistant, simply
A voice AI assistant is a system that answers a call, understands a spoken request, and acts:
- it provides information: opening hours, availability, answers to frequent questions;
- it qualifies the request: who is calling, why, how urgent;
- it forwards a request to a system: appointment booking, request creation, summary email;
- it transfers to a human when the situation requires it.
Speech synthesis (generated voice) and speech recognition (understanding spoken words) are the technologies that make this possible. The Lab's work on multilingual speech synthesis and the phone assistant document these capabilities.
Automated and controlled voice interactions
Technea designs:
- voice assistants: call scenarios, request understanding, answers;
- voice agents: chained steps (question → verification → action);
- automated phone reception: routing the caller to the right service;
- qualification: collecting useful information before human handling;
- information transmission: the call result arrives in your system (request, appointment, notification).
Each scenario includes a handover to a human: the assistant does not replace your team, it relieves it of simple calls.
Concrete examples
- Appointment booking: the caller chooses a slot, the appointment is recorded.
- Frequent questions: opening hours, location, conditions — immediate answers.
- Request qualification: the call arrives at the right service with the right context.
- Reminders and confirmations: an outbound voice flow to confirm an appointment.
- First-level support: identifying the problem before transferring to a technician.
How a voice assistant is set up
1. Call analysis: which requests, which frequencies, which scenarios. 2. Scenario design: dialogues, answers, transfer rules. 3. Voice tuning: understanding and synthesis adapted to the language. 4. Testing: real calls, scenario adjustments. 5. Monitoring: call statistics, success rates, continuous improvement.
What it changes
- simple calls handled automatically, at any time;
- a team focused on calls that require a human;
- qualified requests: the right context arrives with the call;
- no lost calls: outside hours, the assistant takes over;
- traceability: every call is recorded and consultable.
