The shift

Your calls shouldn’t live on an island away from your messages.

Cloud voice moves calling into software and onto the same platform as your messaging, so a call, an SMS and a WhatsApp reply are all part of one conversation you can route, record and measure.

Capabilities

Everything you need to run voice in the cloud

  • Place and receive calls straight from your app with a REST Voice API and a webhook fired for every call event, from ringing to hangup.

    • REST API for calls
    • Webhook per call event
    • Inbound & outbound
  • Build multi-level menus that greet callers and send them down the right path — no code, no telecom expertise required.

    • Multi-level menus
    • Visual builder, no code
    • Greet & route callers
  • Route by skill, time of day or region, with queues, overflow and instant failover, so a call never drops into dead silence when the first destination is busy.

    • Skill / time / region routing
    • Queues & overflow
    • Instant failover
  • Record calls for quality and compliance, with searchable transcripts attached to every conversation and stored recording.

    • Call recording
    • Searchable transcripts
    • Quality & compliance
  • Connect two people through a temporary proxy number so their personal digits stay private on both sides of the call, right up until it ends.

    • Proxy numbers
    • Private on both sides
    • Two-party connect
  • Provision local, toll-free and mobile phone numbers in 60+ countries, or bring your own carrier over SIP trunking and keep the numbers you already have.

Answers To Your Questions

Cloud voice calling — frequently asked questions

Cloud voice runs your business calling over the internet instead of physical phone lines. You provision numbers, build IVR menus and route calls entirely in software — nothing to rack, wire or maintain on site.

This is the voice channel — the programmable telephony layer: numbers, IVR, routing, recording and the Voice API. The AI Voice Agent is an autonomous agent that answers and holds conversations on top of this channel. You can run the channel with human agents, the AI agent, or both.

Yes. You can port existing numbers in, provision new local, toll-free or mobile numbers in 60+ countries, or connect your own carrier over SIP trunking.

Both. Handle inbound calls with IVR menus, queues and routing, and place outbound calls programmatically through the Voice API or with one-click click-to-call from your CRM.

You can record calls for quality and compliance and generate searchable transcripts, with controls to manage caller consent and how long recordings are retained.
