Why It Matters

First impressions determine retention. When new customers experience a slow, inconsistent, or missed onboarding call, churn risk spikes before the product even gets a chance. An AI voice agent ensures every customer receives a prompt, personalized onboarding experience — at any hour, at any scale.

Platform Capabilities

Natural Voice Conversations
Architect voice agents conduct fluid, context-aware phone conversations using LLM-powered speech. Customers hear a consistent, professional tone on every call without scripted rigidity.
Real-Time CRM Sync
During the call, the agent reads customer context from Salesforce or HubSpot and writes back notes, onboarding status, and next-step flags — keeping your CRM current without manual entry.
Automated Follow-Up Scheduling
The agent books follow-up calls or demos directly into Calendly or Google Calendar during the conversation, eliminating back-and-forth email scheduling for customer success teams.
Configurable Guardrails
Define exactly what topics the agent can and cannot discuss. Safe-topic enforcement, escalation paths to human agents, and full audit logging keep every call compliant with your policies.
Call Monitoring and Analytics
Track call completion rates, customer sentiment signals, escalation frequency, and onboarding milestone achievement through Architect's built-in observability dashboard.
No-Code Agent Builder
Configure voice agents through Architect's visual builder — define triggers, knowledge bases, call scripts, and integrations without writing a line of code. Deploy to production in under 10 minutes.

How It Works

Step 1
Configure the Agent
Define the agent's voice persona, knowledge base, onboarding script, and escalation rules in Architect's visual builder.
Step 2
Connect Integrations
Link Twilio for telephony, Salesforce or HubSpot for CRM, and Calendly for scheduling in a few clicks.
Step 3
Agent Places Calls
When a new customer is detected, the agent automatically initiates the onboarding call, delivers the welcome flow, and answers questions in real time.
Step 4
Log and Follow Up
Call notes, onboarding status, and next actions are written to your CRM instantly. Follow-up tasks and meetings are scheduled without human input.

Before vs. After Architect

Without Architect
  • Onboarding calls scheduled manually, delaying time-to-value by days
  • High cost per onboarding call driven by CSM headcount
  • No visibility into what was discussed or promised on each call
  • Inconsistent messaging across reps leads to customer confusion
  • Scaling requires proportionally growing the CS team headcount
With Architect
  • AI places onboarding calls within minutes of signup, any time of day
  • Call transcripts, notes, and milestones auto-synced to CRM instantly
  • Guardrails enforce consistent, compliant messaging on every call
  • Full call analytics surface sentiment, issues, and drop-off points
  • Scale to thousands of simultaneous onboarding calls without new hires

Which telephony platforms does the voice agent integrate with?
Architect integrates with Twilio, Vonage, and other leading VoIP providers, enabling both outbound onboarding calls and inbound call routing as part of the same agent workflow.
Can the AI voice agent update my CRM during or after the call?
Yes. Architect agents can read customer context from Salesforce, HubSpot, or other supported CRMs before the call, and write call summaries, onboarding status updates, and next-step flags back in real time after the conversation ends.
