Platform Capabilities

Everything your team needs to build, deploy, and optimize an AI voice agent for sales qualification — in one platform.

Natural Voice Conversations

Architect's voice agent conducts human-like qualification conversations using configurable scripts and dynamic follow-up logic — adapting its questions based on prospect answers in real time.

BANT Framework Execution

The agent systematically probes for Budget, Authority, Need, and Timeline — structuring discovery into a consistent scoring framework that removes subjectivity from your pipeline.

Real-Time Lead Scoring

As the voice conversation progresses, Architect scores leads against your configurable qualification thresholds — producing a numeric score and disposition (Qualified / Nurture / Disqualified) before the call ends.

Instant Warm Handoff

When a lead crosses your qualification threshold mid-call, Architect triggers an immediate warm handoff — notifying the assigned rep via Slack, booking a calendar slot, or initiating a live call transfer.

Compliance and Call Recording

Built-in consent disclosures, call recording controls, and PII handling settings keep your voice qualification program compliant with TCPA, GDPR, and regional telemarketing regulations out of the box.

No-Code Agent Builder

Configure qualification scripts, scoring rules, CRM field mappings, and handoff triggers through a visual no-code interface. Deploy to production telephony infrastructure in under 10 minutes.

How It Works

Four steps from lead entry to CRM-synced, scored, and routed prospect — all automated by your Architect voice agent.

Step 01
Call Initiated
Inbound call received or outbound triggered from CRM event, form fill, or scheduled batch.
Step 02
BANT Discovery
Voice agent conducts structured discovery — Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline — with dynamic follow-ups.
Step 03
Score and Route
Lead is scored in real time. Qualified leads trigger warm handoff; others enter nurture sequences automatically.
Step 04
CRM Sync and Log
Call transcript, score, disposition, and next steps are written to CRM fields — zero manual data entry.

Before and After Architect

See the operational difference an AI voice qualification agent makes in your sales pipeline.

Without Architect

Manual Sales Qualification

  • SDRs spend 4–6 hours per day on unqualified discovery calls
  • High per-call cost when rep capacity is the constraint
  • Inconsistent BANT coverage — critical data missing from CRM
  • Hot leads missed after-hours — no overnight or weekend coverage
  • Rep burnout from repetitive low-value discovery calls
With Architect

Automated AI Voice Qualification

  • Agent handles hundreds of qualification calls simultaneously — no rep time consumed
  • Cost per qualified lead drops by up to 70% at scale
  • Complete BANT data captured and written to CRM after every call
  • 24/7 inbound coverage — no lead goes unqualified after hours
  • Reps receive only sales-ready, scored prospects — ready to close

Sample Agent Prompt

A realistic system prompt you would configure inside Architect to power your AI voice qualification agent.

voice-qualification-agent — system prompt
architect/agents/voice-qualification > system_prompt.txt
You are an AI voice qualification agent for [Company Name]. Your role is to conduct
friendly, professional inbound and outbound qualification calls with prospects.

Your qualification framework is BANT:
- Budget: Does the prospect have budget allocated or approved for this purchase?
- Authority: Are you speaking with a decision-maker or economic buyer?
- Need: Does the prospect have a clearly defined pain point your product addresses?
- Timeline: Is there an active buying cycle or target go-live date within 90 days?

Conduct the call naturally. Ask one question at a time. Do not interrogate.
If the prospect answers positively on 3 of 4 BANT criteria, mark them QUALIFIED.
If fewer than 2 criteria are met, mark them NURTURE and suggest a follow-up resource.

After the call: write BANT scores, disposition, and a 3-sentence summary to CRM.
If QUALIFIED: trigger Slack alert to assigned rep and offer to book a calendar slot.
