FAQ

AI Calling Agent vs Human Telecaller: common questions

01Is an AI calling agent better than a human telecaller?

For fast, repetitive first calls, reminders and follow-ups, usually yes: it is faster, consistent and costs less per call. For negotiation, complaints and relationships, people are better. Most teams use both.

02Will AI replace my telecallers?

It takes the repetitive calls so your telecallers spend their time on hot leads, where they close more.

03Is AI calling cheaper?

For first calls and follow-ups it usually costs less, because there is no salary, seat or attrition and calls run in parallel. Use the calculator on this page.

04Is AI calling legal in India?

AI calling is used legally in India when it follows the same rules as any business calling: TRAI's telemarketing regulations, respect for the DND (Do Not Disturb) registry, permitted calling hours and a clear way to opt out.

  • Use opt-in or responsibly sourced data, ideally people who enquired with you.
  • Call within permitted hours. We schedule campaigns generally between 9 AM and 8 PM.
  • Honour opt-outs: when someone says "don't call me", the agent ends politely and the number is skipped in future campaigns.

This is general guidance, not legal advice. Compliance depends on your campaign intent and your data.

05How much does it cost?

A one-time setup and prepaid credits billed per second of talk time (1 credit = 1 second). See how much an AI calling agent costs.
