The missed-call problem

Every missed call is a missed opportunity. Most businesses miss dozens a week.

Phone calls signal high intent — callers are ready to book, buy, or ask something specific. When nobody picks up, that intent walks out the door. VocUI makes sure every call gets answered.

After-hours calls go to voicemail. Voicemails go unanswered.

80% of callers who reach voicemail hang up without leaving a message. Every missed call is a lost appointment, a lost sale, or a customer who calls your competitor instead. Your business hours end at 5. Your customers' questions don't.

Your front desk is answering the same 10 questions all day

"What are your hours?" "Do you accept my insurance?" "How much does X cost?" "Can I reschedule?" Your staff answers these dozens of times a day. The answers never change. The interruption cost does.

You can't scale phone support without scaling headcount

Hiring another receptionist costs $35,000+/year. Training takes weeks. They still can't work nights, weekends, or holidays. And when call volume spikes, one person isn't enough anyway.

Two capabilities, one platform

Inbound answering and outbound campaigns

VocUI doesn't just answer your phone. It can call your contacts too. One AI, trained on your knowledge base, handling both directions.

Inbound

How it works

Your AI phone agent live in three steps

01

Provision a phone number

Get a local or toll-free number through VocUI, powered by Telnyx. Your AI receptionist is assigned to this number and ready to take calls.

02

Train on your knowledge base

Upload your FAQs, services, pricing, policies, and scripts. VocUI builds a knowledge base your AI draws from to answer callers accurately.

03

AI handles your calls

Every inbound call gets an immediate, knowledgeable response. Set up outbound campaigns to proactively reach your contacts. All calls transcribed and logged.

Built for voice

Not a phone tree. A real conversation.

VocUI holds natural voice conversations powered by your knowledge base. Callers ask questions in their own words and get spoken answers — no menus, no hold music, no frustration.

Natural voice conversations

Real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech. Callers speak naturally and get spoken answers — no button pressing, no "say 1 for billing". It sounds like talking to a person.

Trained on your content

Answers come from the knowledge base you build — FAQs, service pages, pricing, policies. Accurate, grounded, and specific to your business.

Call transfer to humans

Configure when the AI should transfer — by topic, keyword, or when it can't answer confidently. The AI announces the transfer and routes to the right person.

Appointment booking

The AI checks availability and books appointments during the call. Integrates with your scheduling system so callers confirm a time before they hang up.

Multilingual voice

VocUI detects the caller's language and responds in kind. Serve callers in English, Spanish, French, and other languages without separate phone lines.

Call recording and transcripts

Every call is recorded (with disclosure) and transcribed automatically. Review conversations, search transcripts, and track outcomes from your dashboard.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AI phone answering

How does the AI handle phone calls differently from a chatbot?

VocUI uses real-time speech-to-text and text-to-speech powered by Telnyx to hold natural voice conversations. The AI listens, understands intent, retrieves answers from your knowledge base, and speaks them back — just like a trained receptionist. Callers speak naturally and get immediate, accurate answers without pressing buttons or navigating phone menus.

Can the AI transfer calls to a human when needed?

Yes. You configure transfer rules based on caller intent, keywords, or when the AI determines it cannot fully answer a question. The AI tells the caller it is transferring them, then routes the call to the appropriate team member or department. You can set up multiple transfer destinations with different routing logic.

What does outbound calling look like?

You upload a contact list, select a voice campaign template, and VocUI places calls on your behalf. The AI follows your script while adapting naturally to the conversation — confirming appointments, delivering reminders, qualifying leads, or collecting survey responses. All calls are logged with transcripts and outcomes.

How is phone pricing different from chat channels?

Phone is available as an add-on for Pro and Enterprise plans (starting at $49/mo on top of your plan, with metered overage at $0.08/min). Pricing is per-minute rather than per-message, with 100 included minutes per month and metered overage beyond that. This reflects the higher infrastructure cost of real-time voice processing — you only pay for the minutes you use over your included allowance.

Your next missed call could be your best customer.

Put AI on the line. Answer every call from your knowledge base. Book appointments, route calls, and run outbound campaigns — 24/7.
