AI Voice Agent for Plivo
AI-answered calls on your Plivo numbers, via forward or API.
Keep Plivo for what it is good at (dependable, no-frills routing) and add the AI layer at PyAI. Forward the numbers you want AI-answered to a PyAI number, or build the AI call path directly on PyAI's OpenAI-compatible voice APIs.
Two ways in. Pick per call type.
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.In the PyAI console, provision a number (Phone) or bring your own SIP trunk.
- 2.Build the agent: pick a voice, write the greeting, connect your knowledge and tools, then call it yourself to test.
- 3.Set the forward on your side using the hint below, aimed at the PyAI number.
- 4.Place one real call. The agent answers; the recap and QA land in PyAI and any tools you connected.
On Plivo: Plivo Console: edit the number's application to answer with a Dial to the PyAI number, or set forwarding on the carrier.
Path 2: Integrate via API
No importer needed to start: build the AI leg directly on PyAI and keep Plivo for transport, or adopt PyAI end to end when you are ready.
- OpenAI-compatible voice APIs: speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and the full Omni voice agent behind one key.
- AMD for outbound list screening (human vs voicemail) works with any provider that can stream audio, billed per answered call.
- Managed PyAI numbers exist for the calls you want fully on the new stack.
Which path when
Start with forwarding
You want AI answering real calls this week without touching your Plivo setup. One number forward is the whole change.
Add the API when ready
You want the AI leg inside your own call flows, or deeper call-data integration, on OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Move fully later
When the forward path proves itself, moving whole flows onto PyAI numbers is a graduation, not a rebuild.
FAQ
Do I have to leave Plivo to use PyAI?
No. Most teams start with call forwarding: Plivo 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 Plivo available?
There is no native Plivo 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.
