Inbound Calls
Inbound Calls Overview
Learn how AI assistants handle incoming calls, from answering to call completion and analytics
When someone dials your dedicated (or SIP-integrated) number, Autocalls.ai can answer automatically through an AI Assistant. This section covers the big-picture flow of inbound calling:
-
Caller Dials Your Number
- A local, international, or toll-free line assigned to your AI assistant.
-
AI Assistant Answers
- Greets the caller using your configured voice and initial message.
- Follows the system prompt to handle inquiries or gather information.
-
Optional Actions
- Transfer to a human operator (if configured).
- Schedule appointments, check order statuses, or collect data for later use.
-
Call Completion
- AI ends the call politely or transfers to a queue/agent if needed.
- You get transcripts and call analytics afterward.
Tip: Start by renting or provisioning a phone number and linking it to an inbound-type AI Assistant.
