Phone customer service automation
An AI phone agent for repetitive customer service requests
Answer approved questions, collect context, and hand exceptions to a person with a clear record.
Canadian French + English • Configurable human handoff • Keep your number when supported by your carrier
At a glance
Defined by the workflow, not only the voice
Phone support includes both simple questions and situations that require judgement. Automating them the same way creates poor customer experiences.
VocalOps fits defined workflows: status, hours, process explanations, information capture, request creation, and transfer. Complaints, decisions, and exceptions remain bounded.

FAQ
AI customer service questions
Can the agent access our CRM?
Only after the integration, permissions, fields, and identification method are validated. Read access does not automatically include permission to update records.
How does it handle an angry customer?
The workflow can acknowledge the complaint, collect essential facts, and transfer quickly. It should not argue or invent compensation.
Can answers be limited by product?
Yes. Sources, versions, and rules can be segmented to avoid applying the wrong policy to a product.
How should quality be measured?
Use correct classification, authorized resolution, transfer quality, required corrections, and satisfaction—not call volume alone.
