Engage every lead instantly with AI voice and chat

Conversations AI connects with leads the moment they reach out—by voice or chat on SMS, WhatsApp, email and more. It responds 24/7 in multiple languages and can answer questions, book appointments, or guide the conversation using your custom knowledge.

Extend your AI with powerful Custom Capabilities

Custom Capabilities let you teach Conversations AI how to take action—not just chat. Combine clear instructions (a prompt) with an external API to create a new skill, like checking inventory, scheduling appointments, or pulling order status.

Once set up, your AI gathers the right info, calls the API, and delivers accurate answers in real time.
