PyAI Omni / Agents

AI voice agents

An AI voice agent listens to a caller, works out the next response, uses permitted business tools and speaks back. Unlike a spoken menu, it can follow corrections and help complete a multi-step task.

How AI voice agents works

An AI voice agent listens to a caller, works out the next response, uses permitted business tools and speaks back. Unlike a spoken menu, it can follow corrections and help complete a multi-step task.

Build natural customer conversations for reception, appointment booking and support, with a path to a person when needed. Use Agents to configure and save the experience; Omni runs the realtime conversation. Omni brings speech and reasoning together in one fused speech-to-speech model, with native 8 kHz phone audio and interruption handling.

How PyAI approaches ai voice agents

Quality on the actual call

Evaluate the audio your callers hear, the details the system captures and the action it completes. Native 8 kHz phone audio is available in Omni; use the supported audio format for each product.

A clear integration path

Hear and Speak offer OpenAI-compatible speech endpoints. Omni uses the realtime PyAI SDK. Pair the conversation with AMD, Trace, Recap and managed telephony where your workflow needs them.

Predictable usage billing

Review the product meter, sandbox limits and managed telephony terms on the pricing page. Cloning enrollment and prompt-to-voice design are free; generated speech follows synthesis billing.

Voices, accents and your own voice

Listen to stock voices before choosing the voice for your workflow. A language label does not promise every regional accent. For generated speech, you can also enroll a voice you have permission to use or design a voice from a prompt. Verify language and product compatibility before using the result.

Can I keep my existing application?

Start with the product's documented API and integration guide. Omni uses the PyAI realtime SDK; an OpenAI-compatible speech endpoint does not make every realtime or workflow API interchangeable.

What should I test before using it for customer calls?

Test representative names, dates, amounts, audio conditions and corrections. For agents, include business-tool failures and handoff to a person; inspect the observed outcome, not just a transcript.

Can I use a cloned or designed voice?

Speak supports stock, cloned and prompt-designed voices. Cloning enrollment and voice design are free; synthesis follows the current billing terms. Use a voice you have permission to reproduce and verify its intended language and product compatibility.
