About Voice AI agents

Voice AI agents extend AI agents with voice-specific capabilities. They enable natural, two-way conversations on voice calls using speech recognition, Generative AI, and natural-sounding speech synthesis.

Voice AI agents support the following:

CapabilityDescription
Natural language understandingInterpret free-form speech and user intent without predefined menus.
Generative AI responsesGenerate contextual, human-like replies in real time.
Speech synthesisDeliver responses as natural-sounding voice output.
IVR integrationHand over active calls from IVR flow to a Voice AI agent and return control to the flow when the session ends.
SIP trunk transferTransfer calls from a Voice AI agent session to external systems over SIP for handover to third-party call centers or voice platforms.


How it works

When a caller dials in, Infobip receives the call and passes it into a Journey IVR flow. The flow runs any initial routing logic, then hands the call to the Voice AI agent through the Transfer call to AI agent element. The agent processes each caller utterance, reasons about the appropriate response, and speaks its reply. This cycle repeats until the goal is achieved, the caller asks for a human, or the session ends. Control then returns to the IVR flow with information about why the session ended.

NOTEVoice AI agents do not replace IVR flows. They extend them. Deploy a Voice AI agent on a specific branch of an existing IVR and leave all other IVR logic unchanged.
