Capture and follow up
Outbound AI calling for the calls your team never gets to.
An AI voice agent calls new inquiries back, confirms appointments and makes follow-up calls. When someone is ready to talk, it transfers them to your team.
A good fit for
- Teams with more leads than they can call quickly
- Appointment businesses that need confirmations
- Sales teams that want to speak only to interested leads
How it works
Who does what on an outbound call
The AI handles the routine calling. Your team steps in when a person is needed, and each call result goes back to your CRM.

A walkthrough
Example: a real estate agency gets a showing request
A hypothetical example of how this can work, not a client story.
- 01A person who agreed to be contacted asks about a property online.
- 02The AI calls back, explains it is an assistant and confirms what they’re looking for.
- 03They want to see it this week, so it books a time with the agent.
- 04The agent gets the summary, and the showing appears in the CRM.
FAQ
Questions about outbound AI calling
Is outbound AI calling legal?
It can be, but the rules are strict and differ across the US, UK and Australia. They cover consent, calling hours, do-not-call lists and disclosure. We build these controls in and recommend you confirm your approach with a legal adviser.
Can you use it for cold calling?
We focus on people who have inquired or agreed to hear from you, such as new leads and existing customers. We don’t set it up for bought lists.
What happens if nobody answers?
You choose how many times to try and whether to leave a message or send a text. After that, it stops and records the result.
