Assistant Configuration

  • Choose the right voice: Select a voice that aligns with your brand personality and target audience. Test different voices to identify what feels most natural to users.
  • Craft clear prompts: Use concise and natural-sounding prompts that clearly guide the conversation and reduce confusion.
  • Use personalization where possible: Incorporate contextual details such as names or transaction information to make conversations feel more relevant.
  • Set an appropriate speaking pace: A moderate voice speed improves clarity and keeps conversations comfortable to follow.

Call Quality

  • Optimize caller numbers: Use phone numbers that are familiar and trustworthy to your target audience to improve pickup rates.
  • Time calls thoughtfully: Schedule calls during business hours or times when recipients are most likely to be available.
  • Limit retry attempts: Configure a small number of retries for unanswered calls to avoid appearing intrusive.
  • Monitor call outcomes: Review call duration, completion rates, and feedback to identify patterns and areas for improvement.

Content Strategy

  • Keep introductions brief: Clearly state who the caller is and the purpose of the call within the first few seconds.
  • Use conversational language: Write scripts that sound natural and avoid overly formal or robotic phrasing.
  • Prepare for common responses: Anticipate likely user replies and define clear paths for each scenario.
  • End with a clear next step: Conclude calls with specific actions or instructions so users know what to do next.

Technical Considerations

  • Test across networks: Validate call performance on different networks and connection qualities to ensure consistency.
  • Monitor response latency: Keep response times low to maintain a natural conversational flow.
  • Handle unexpected input gracefully: Design fallback responses for cases where users say something unanticipated.
  • Scale concurrency gradually: For bulk calling campaigns, start with a smaller number of concurrent calls and increase based on observed performance.
