How Mandarin Chinese 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.
The complete conversation
Test amounts, addresses and numbers in context. Confirm whether the workflow needs simplified or traditional characters for text and treat that separately from spoken pronunciation.

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.
