Customer service by phone, even when you can't pick up

Voani looks after your customers on the phone: it listens, asks just enough to understand what's going on and answers the usual questions with what it knows about your business, such as opening hours, shipping, returns or guarantees. Whatever it can't resolve, it notes down for you with the name, the phone number and the problem in detail.

It answers the usual questions

Lots of calls ask the same things: what time you open, how long delivery takes, how to return something, whether a product has a guarantee, where to park. With Voani, your agent answers them with what it knows about your business, learnt from your website and the documents you upload, and puts it in its own words, without reading from a script.

Whatever isn't in its document, your agent doesn't make up. It notes who's calling, their number and what they need, and says your team will call them back.

It listens before answering

It notices if the caller is in a hurry, upset or unsure, and adapts what it says and how it says it. If it's interrupted, it stops talking. With a complaint, it follows your rules; this is the one the dashboard suggests for any business:

  • When someone is angry or wants to complain → listen without interrupting, apologise and take detailed notes so they're called back.

And others that often come in handy in customer service: “When they want to return or exchange something → ask what they bought and when, and explain how it works with what you know”, or “When they ask about an order → ask for the order number or their name and a number, and say they'll be called with an update”.

It learns from what it didn't know

After each call, the dashboard shows you what it couldn't answer. You add it to its document with one click and, from the next call, it knows. So the more it's used, the less goes unanswered.

You know why people call

Each call arrives in your dashboard with its summary, the result (resolved, for you, other…), the reason and the caller's mood. In Statistics you see the most common reasons for calling, how calls end and how that changes compared with the previous period, and you can download it all as a CSV. If a reason keeps coming up, it might deserve an extra line on your website.

In your customers' language

Your agent speaks Spanish, English, French, German or Italian, with eight native voices in each language. Each agent answers in the language you set, and an account holds up to 10: for example, one in Spanish and another in English for your customers from abroad.

What it doesn't do yet

  • Check your systems: it can't see your online shop or your management software, so it doesn't know where a particular delivery is; it takes a note so you can look into it.
  • Send messages to callers, by text, WhatsApp or email.
  • Connect to your number: coming very soon. Today you create it and try it from your browser.

Example call

A sports shop, on a Monday morning

CustomerHi, I bought some trainers on your website and they're too small. How do I exchange them?

AgentYou've got 30 days to exchange them: you can take them to the shop with the receipt or request a collection from your order. Would you like someone to call you to help?

CustomerNo need, thanks. I'll pop into the shop on Saturday.

AgentPerfect. Remember to bring the receipt or the order number. Thanks for calling!

What it notes down for you: Trainers exchange for size · will go to the shop on Saturday · resolved

This is an example: each agent answers with what its business tells it.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of questions can it answer?

Those in its document: opening hours, prices, shipping, returns, guarantees, directions or how a service works. It learns them from your website and from whatever you write for it or upload in a PDF.

What does it do with a complaint?

It listens, asks just enough to understand what's going on and, if it can't resolve it, notes down the name, the phone number and the problem in detail so you can call them back. With a rule you tell it how to act, for example to apologise and not interrupt.

Can it say where an order is?

It can't see your online shop or your management software. It takes the order number or the name and a phone number, and says you'll call them back with an update.

How does it improve over time?

Each call leaves you what it couldn't answer. You add it to its document with one click and, from the next call, it knows.

Does it answer in other languages?

Yes: in Spanish, English, French, German and Italian, with native voices. Each agent speaks the language you set, and you can have one per language.

Can people tell it's an AI?

It speaks with natural, native voices, but it never pretends to be a person: if someone asks whether it's an AI, it says so naturally and carries on helping. And if they'd rather talk to someone on the team, it offers to have them call back.
