Voice Agent
Voice Agent is the AI phone system inside Auto-Respond. You configure one or more agents, assign them a phone number, and the agent handles calls on your behalf - answering inbound calls, calling new leads the moment they arrive, or running outbound campaigns to a list of recipients.
Getting here
In Auto-Respond, click Voice Agent in the main navigation. Inside you will find:
- Voice Agents - the list of agents for your business. Create, edit, clone, or delete.
- Call Logs - every call your agents have made or received, with transcript, recording, summary, and extracted customer data.
- Batch Calls - ongoing and completed outbound campaigns.
- Manage Business Phones - buy phone numbers, verify your own number as caller ID, and complete Trust Hub compliance.

Answering Agent

Key concepts
- Agent - one AI persona with its own voice, greeting, goals, knowledge base, and assigned phone number.
- Phone number - the number the agent operates on. Purchased inside Manage Business Phones and then assigned to an agent for inbound, outbound, or both.
- Caller ID - the number the person being called sees. By default it is the purchased system number; you can verify your own business phone so your real number is displayed instead.
- Trust Hub - a US compliance profile (business identity, industry, registration ID, authorized representative) that reduces the chance carriers flag your outbound calls as spam.
- Call log - the record of a completed call, including transcript, recording, AI summary, extracted customer data, appointment booked, disconnection reason, and duration.
