Respond.io Launches Voice AI Agents to Automate Business Calls

• With Voice AI Agents, businesses can automate inbound calls without human intervention. 

• Respond.io’s solutions replace outdated automated phone menus and legacy call centers. 

• Businesses can seamlessly switch between chat, calls, and email within one platform 

respond.io, an AI-powered conversation management platform, announces the launch of Voice AI Agents to help medium to large businesses manage customer calls and voice interactions in one inbox.  

For decades, customers have been trapped in endless phone menus and lifeless robotic systems, which misunderstand context and waste time. Respond.io’s Voice AI Agents eliminate that frustration, replacing outdated interactive voice response (IVR) systems and legacy call centers with intelligent, context-aware automation. 

Respond.io’s Voice AI Agents can:  

• Handle inbound calls without human intervention 

• Integrate seamlessly with existing business workflows and CRM 

• Interpret and respond to customer voice messages with context across various platforms 

• Summarize call outcomes and support conference calls 

• Auto-detect and switch between 32 languages during calls 

Additionally, real-time call handovers between AI and human agents, as well as call transfers to another team member, will be introduced soon. This deep integration eliminates the need for third-party legacy tools, making many existing standalone features unnecessary. 

“Voice remains the most human channel. Customers turn to it when they need answers fast. With Voice AI Agents, we’renot fixing old systems; we’re replacing them entirely. Just generating a realistic voice isn’t the real challenge today. It’s the workflows behind it that matter. The more accurate and context-aware they become, the less it matters whether a human or an AI Agent is solving your problem,” – Gerardo Salandra, CEO & Co-Founder of respond.io. 

Respond.io already powers business calls globally with integrated VoIP and WhatsApp Business Calling API. Voice AI Agents operate within this same call stack, allowing both AI Agents and human agents to handle calls from a single platform. Unlike other fragmented solutions, respond.io unifies all major communication channels, including calls, chats, SMS, emails, and CRM, in one unified inbox, helping businesses scale and drive revenue without juggling multiple tools.
