Trainable and coachable
Phone agents can be trained and updated with new data and actions, just like a human agent.

Centralized in the inbox

Inbound and outbound calls

Quick Start
Create your first AI phone agent in the dashboard and start automating your customer support.
Login to Open
You can log in to Open using your email and password.
Navigate to the AI phone calling product
It is available in the top navigation bar (The App Switcher).
Create AI phone agent
This will also create a phone number for you. You can buy a phone number from the dashboard, or you can use the API to buy a phone number. By default, phone numbers will be bought from the US number pool. Email us at mo@open.cx if you want to buy a phone number from a different country.
Configure your phone agent
In this step, you will configure your phone agent (such as name, initial message, etc.). One notable option here is the handoff number. This number will be used to hand off the call to a human agent when needed. Read more about handoffs here.
Configure AI agent voice and emotional recognition
In this step, you will configure the voice and emotional recognition of your AI agent. You can also configure the language of your AI agent.
Configure AI agent character
This is the most important step. You will basically describe in plain English how your AI agent should behave.
