Keep the parts that already work

Two ways in.
Choose by call type.

Point the numbers you want AI-answered at PyAI and leave the rest on 8x8. It is the lowest-risk way to put real AI call handling in production: one forward, one agent, real calls in a day.

Path 1: Forward calls to PyAI

Keep everything exactly where it is. PyAI provisions a number (or takes your SIP trunk), you point your calls at it, and a PyAI agent answers with your greeting, your knowledge, and your tools. Your platform keeps billing you for lines; the AI layer lives at PyAI.

  1. 01In the PyAI console, provision a number (Phone) or bring your own SIP trunk.
  2. 02Build the agent: pick a voice, write the greeting, connect your knowledge and tools, then call it yourself to test.
  3. 03Set the forward on your side using the hint below, aimed at the PyAI number.
  4. 04Place one real call. The agent answers; the recap and QA land in PyAI and any tools you connected.

On 8x8: 8x8 Admin Console: call forwarding rules on the number or user, or divert at the SIP trunk to PyAI.

Path 2: Integrate via API

Build the AI layer on PyAI and keep 8x8 for seats and lines.

  • Complete Omni voice agents, or just the parts you need (Hear, Speak, AMD).
  • Managed PyAI numbers for call flows you move entirely.
  • Post-call intelligence into your CRM, Slack, or helpdesk, included with usage.

Start at the right depth

A useful first call.
Room to build from there.

Call forwarding, API integration and completed-call import are separate paths. Choose the one that fits the workflow you want to run first.

Start with forwarding

Send a selected call type to PyAI and keep your 8x8 setup for the rest. Configure the agent, set the transfer path and test a real call before widening the route.

Add the API when it fits

Own more of the call flow or connect speech to your application. Hear and Speak support OpenAI-compatible shapes; Omni uses its native realtime protocol through the official SDK.

Keep import status clear

A native 8x8 importer is not available. Start with forwarding or a direct API workflow, and keep the rest of your calling setup in place.

Do I have to leave 8x8 to use PyAI?

No. Most teams start with call forwarding: 8x8 keeps the lines and the bill, and PyAI answers the calls you point at it. If and when it makes sense, you can also build directly on PyAI's APIs or import completed calls.

What does the AI voice agent actually do on a call?

It answers in your voice and greeting, holds a real conversation at human pace, uses your knowledge base and tools, and can transfer to a human, collect details, or end the call politely. Afterward you get the recap and, with Trace, a compliance scorecard.

Is call import from 8x8 available?

There is no native 8x8 importer today, and you do not need one to start: forwarding sends the calls you want AI-answered to PyAI. Importer candidates are prioritized by customer demand, so ask.

What does this cost?

You pay PyAI for the calling and call intelligence you run (per-minute calling, Recap or AMD usage); integrations carry no extra fee. Your existing platform bills you as usual for the lines you keep.

Put a voice agent on your 8x8 calls.

Sandbox keys never bill. Test the workflow, then fund a live key when you are ready for production traffic.
