Callbot

Agents & orchestration

A callbot is a voice agent that answers the phone. It picks up, understands a request expressed in natural language, answers common questions, books an appointment or qualifies the call, then hands over to a human when needed. Unlike a classic touch-tone phone menu, the caller simply speaks.

In practice at Gensai
