AI voice agents are virtual assistants powered by artificial intelligence, speech recognition, and natural language processing. They process and respond to human conversations in real time. Voice agents can execute a variety of different tasks, like answering questions, taking messages, transferring calls, and booking appointments.
The best AI voice agent depends on your business needs. If you run a healthcare business, your AI voice agent might require HIPAA compliance. For example, do you provide service to customers in multiple countries? Your AI answering service may require GDPR and multilingual support to work for you.
Sona is the best AI voice agent for small and growing businesses. It reduces your missed calls, answers common customer questions, and takes detailed messages that make customer communication more efficient for your team.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how AI voice agents work:
The best part about modern voice agents is that they operate with low latency. They can generate responses quickly and reduce wait times in a conversation.
At this time, Sona and AI voice agents can’t perform all the functions of a sales or customer support team. For example, if you need to return an order or get a sales demo, an AI voice agent can’t handle those tasks yet.
Dedicated sales AI or customer support AI tools are still limited in how much they can do for your team. They can plug into existing systems by handling additional inbound call volume when your team is busy or away for the day. However, they can’t replace human agents. They can’t work through complex tasks like customer complaints or escalations.
Voice agents, chatbots, and human agents serve different purposes for your small business:
Small businesses can use all three options to serve their customers. Given their budget and resource constraints, it may be better for them to lean on using chatbots and AI agents for most support requests. Small businesses can reserve their human agents for any troubleshooting or complex requests. That way, they don’t invest in adding more human agents too quickly.
Sona calls that last less than 15 seconds aren't charged to you. This is to help you avoid getting charged for spam and robocalls.
If Sona can’t answer a question, it'll communicate the limitation to the caller and offer to take a message for a human team member to follow up.
