Question 1

What is an AI phone assistant?

Accepted Answer

An AI phone assistant automates call handling using natural-language processing, enabling outbound outreach, inbound routing, and real-time conversation analytics. Businesses using AI phone assistants report handling up to 10x more calls without adding headcount.

Question 2

How does Magpipe automate inbound and outbound calls?

Accepted Answer

Magpipe connects a voice AI agent to your phone number. For inbound calls, the agent answers, qualifies callers, and routes or escalates as needed. For outbound calls, Magpipe dials contacts via a conference bridge so the agent's greeting plays the instant the customer picks up — eliminating the silence that causes hang-ups.

Question 3

What industries use AI phone assistants?

Accepted Answer

AI phone assistants are used across sales (lead qualification, follow-up), customer support (tier-1 triage, FAQs), debt collection, appointment booking, and real estate. Any industry that handles high call volumes or repetitive phone interactions benefits from automation.

Question 4

Can Magpipe integrate with WhatsApp and SMS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Magpipe supports WhatsApp Business and SMS on the same phone number as voice. Each channel can be assigned a different AI agent, so your inbound support agent and outbound sales bot can share a number without interfering with each other.

Question 5

How does Magpipe handle call forwarding for trusted callers?

Accepted Answer

Magpipe's Call Whitelist feature lets you designate specific phone numbers to bypass the AI agent entirely. When a whitelisted caller rings in, the call is forwarded directly to a destination number — instantly, with no AI interaction.

Question 6

Does Magpipe support outbound batch calling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Magpipe's batch calling API lets you upload a list of contacts and trigger all calls with a single API request. Each call is tracked individually with webhook notifications on completion, and you can cancel mid-batch if needed.
