AI agents

AI agents that answer, qualify, book, and hand off

Put an AI agent on a number, an IVR option, a time condition, or a queue. It answers from your knowledge and transfers to your team with the conversation kept in the same workspace.

Direct answer

What can Callfora AI agents do on a live call?

They answer inbound calls from knowledge you approve, qualify and route, book a configured appointment, invoke a tenant-owned HTTPS action you define, and hand off to a person. They do not run outbound campaigns or act as a general autonomous employee. Call Centers or Enterprise, the product module, usage limits, and the speech gateway still apply.

The job

Role, task, and inspectable outcome.

Each tab is a boundary you can verify in the product before a live number is attached.

A generic bot cannot be trusted on the main business number.

Start from a role, then keep a human fallback.

Pick a receptionist, sales, support, or custom job. Templates are starters, not a general skills framework.

  • Role starter to launch
  • Instructions you write
  • Fallback extension on every agent

Available on Call Centers and Enterprise. AI usage and deployment configuration apply.

The operating model

A visible path from the first hello to a measured outcome.

AI is not a separate bot project. It is a configured participant in the same call flow as your team, with a defined job, explicit boundaries, and a person ready to take over.

  1. 01

    Role

    Choose the job and the conversations it should handle.

  2. 02

    Knowledge

    Approve the facts it may use in an answer.

  3. 03

    Placement

    Put it on a number, menu option, schedule, or queue.

  4. 04

    Task

    Configure booking or a bounded HTTPS action.

  5. 05

    Handoff

    Name the person or queue that takes over.

  6. 06

    Outcome

    Review the conversation, task result, and usage.

Role-based setup

Start from a job, then make it yours

Pick a role starter, write instructions, and keep a human fallback. Custom roles remain supported.

Available on Call Centers and Enterprise. Availability depends on plan, modules, permissions, and deployment configuration.

Knowledge you control

Agents answer from the knowledge you approve

Keep shared or per-agent facts, then test in chat before a live call. AI responses can be wrong; review what you publish.

Placement

Put the agent on the same routing surface as people

Direct number, IVR option, time condition, or queue seat. Routing stays in one admin portal.

Queue participation requires the Call Centers plan and the relevant contact-center configuration.

Individual placement

Give the agent its own internal number and route a public number or call-flow branch to it.

Queue placement

Add it to an eligible queue so AI and people can answer within the same service operation.

Configured tasks

Book appointments or invoke an approved HTTPS action

Calendar booking needs a calendar owner, locations, and available slots. Custom actions are tenant-owned HTTPS definitions — not named CRM connectors.

Governance

See the conversation and the outcome

Review sessions, transcripts, action results, handoffs, and AI-versus-human analytics. Administrators set usage limits.

Human and AI

Measure AI agents the way you measure your team

Queue share, completed tasks, failed actions, and minutes used — labeled with the configuration they depend on.

Built around real work

Four roles. Clear entry points. One human backstop.

Each blueprint narrows what the agent should say and do. Your team chooses the route in, the task boundary, and the destination when judgment belongs with a person.

Receptionist

Main number or after-hours route

Answers approved questions, captures intent, and transfers.

Sales qualifier

Sales number, menu option, or queue

Collects configured details and routes an inbound prospect.

Support triage

Support number or queue

Gathers context, answers from knowledge, and hands off.

Appointment scheduler

Booking line or routed call

Checks the configured calendar and books a confirmed slot.

Usage limits

Administrators set the ceiling before the agent takes live minutes.

Usage limits live with the workspace. Analytics show minutes used against the plan, completed tasks, failed actions, and handoffs to a person. Public pages being visible does not turn AI on for every workspace.

What makes it different

AI works inside the operation your people already run.

The same numbers, menus, schedules, queues, handoff destinations, conversations, and analytics support both kinds of agent. A caller does not have to enter a separate AI channel, and a supervisor does not have to reconstruct the result in another reporting system.

AI stays bounded

It answers from approved knowledge and performs only the task you configured.

People keep judgment

A fallback extension or queue remains part of every launch review.

Designed boundary

Useful because the job is specific.

Callfora agents handle inbound voice work within the instructions, knowledge, routes, and actions you approve. They are not general-purpose autonomous workers.

Configured to

  • Answer and qualify inbound calls
  • Use approved business knowledge
  • Book against a configured calendar
  • Transfer to a person or queue

Not presented as

  • An outbound campaign system
  • An unbounded autonomous employee
  • A replacement for human judgment
  • A system that learns policy from live calls

Six proofs

What you can verify in the product

Proof

Role-based setup

Start from receptionist, sales, support, marketing, automotive, or a custom job. Templates are starters, not a general skills framework.

Proof

Knowledge and test chat

Agents answer from knowledge you write. Test in chat before the agent takes a live call.

Proof

Placement on a number or flow

Attach the agent to a DID, internal number, IVR option, or time condition — the same routing surface as people.

Proof

Individual or queue

Run one agent on a line, or seat it in a queue next to human agents with concurrency you set.

Proof

Configured task completion

Book a calendar appointment when locations and a booking user are set, or invoke a tenant-owned HTTPS action you approve.

Proof

Conversation and analytics

Inspect sessions, transcripts, handoffs, action results, and AI-versus-human reporting in the same workspace.

Appointment booking

  1. 01

    Caller asks for an appointment

  2. 02

    Agent collects name, contact details, time, and location

  3. 03

    Agent reads them back and books the team calendar

Operational boundary: Booking needs a calendar owner, configured locations, and available slots. Incomplete details are never booked.

Approved HTTPS action

  1. 01

    Administrator defines a tenant-owned HTTPS action

  2. 02

    Action is tested, then bound to an agent

  3. 03

    Live invoke needs the matching gateway contract

Operational boundary: No native CRM connectors. Destructive methods always require confirmation. Live in-call invoke is unverified until the external gateway matches this contract.

AI responses can be wrong. Review the instructions and knowledge you provide, and tell callers when they are speaking with an automated assistant where the law requires it. See the AI agents policy and calling compliance notes. AI agents are available on the Call Centers and Enterprise plans. Availability depends on plan, modules, permissions, and deployment configuration.

Questions

Questions about AI agents

What can Callfora AI agents do?

They can answer inbound calls, qualify and route, use knowledge you approve, book a configured appointment, invoke a tenant-owned HTTPS action you define, and hand off to a person. They do not run outbound campaigns or act as a general autonomous employee.

Do AI agents work on the same phone system as my team?

Yes. You place an agent on a number, IVR option, time condition, or queue. Conversations and analytics stay in the same workspace. Live voice also needs the speech gateway deployed for that workspace.

Which plan includes AI agents?

Call Centers and Enterprise. The product module, user permissions, usage limits, and deployment configuration still apply. Public pages being visible does not turn AI on for every workspace.

How are usage limits enforced?

Administrators set usage limits for the workspace. Analytics show minutes used against the plan, completed tasks, failed actions, and handoffs to a person.
