Agents & Call Handling

Understanding your AI agents, reviewing calls, and managing your phone presence

How Your AI Agents Work

Your AI agents handle inbound and outbound phone calls on your behalf. Each agent is configured by your agency with specific instructions, voice, and routing rules.

What Agents Can Do

  • Answer common questions about your business
  • Schedule appointments in real-time by checking your calendar
  • Take messages and route urgent calls to you
  • Provide after-hours coverage when your office is closed
  • Send follow-up SMS messages after calls
  • Transfer calls to the right person or department

Agent Assignment

Your account has an assigned agent (or multiple agents) configured for different scenarios:

ScenarioAgent Behavior

Agent configuration — prompts, voices, and routing — is managed by your agency. If you need changes to how your agents behave, contact them directly.

  • "What was the outcome of the last call from 555-0123?"

Command can look up call records and stats directly.
