SimpleTalk.ai presents a sophisticated AI-driven communication platform that revolutionizes customer engagement through personalized, efficient, and scalable interactions. It offers a comprehensive suite of features for both outbound and inbound communication, capable of handling high-volume calling sequences with the ability to make up to 1,800 calls in 60 seconds. With multilingual support for 12 languages, it ensures businesses can connect with a diverse customer base in their native languages.

For outbound calls, SimpleTalk.ai leverages dynamic personalization, pulling data from CRM systems like GoHighLevelCRM to create unique, context-aware interactions. It can navigate phone trees, detect voicemails, and follow up with multi-stage call sequences to maximize pickup rates. The platform can tag contacts based on their response to calls, schedule appointments directly, and transfer calls to appropriate personnel when needed.

Inbound calls are treated with the same intelligent automation, with AI agents capable of asking pre-qualifying questions and routing calls accordingly. Voicemail drop integration encourages callbacks, which are then managed by the inbound AI agent for pre-qualification, enhancing lead conversion.

SimpleTalk.ai extends beyond voice communication, offering AI conversational texting and emailing, which remembers past interactions to nurture leads over extended periods seamlessly. This creates an autonomous lead nurturing ecosystem that handles all aspects of the prospecting and follow-up process without manual intervention.

The platform's use cases are vast, covering everything from telemarketing to customer support, appointment scheduling, and event attendance confirmation. Its unique value proposition (UVP) lies in its ability to provide a highly personalized communication experience at scale, ensuring that each customer interaction feels individualized and relevant.

Businesses benefit from its efficiency in lead management, cost-effectiveness in reducing the need for extensive human call centers, and the capability to reach a global audience without language barriers. The integration with CRM systems ensures that customer data enhances each interaction, making SimpleTalk.ai not just a tool but a comprehensive solution for modern customer communication needs.

👤Client Identification and Management

• Client ID: Each business is assigned a unique identifier upon onboarding, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the system. This ID allows SimpleTalk.ai to log call counts, durations, and manage billing accurately. It also serves as a security measure, as any request that doesn't include a valid client ID is automatically blocked, ensuring data privacy and client-specific service.
  Ex."client_id": "14f7e15e-8b38-11ee-b9d1-0242ac120002"
• From and To Numbers
  "from_number": The phone number from which the outbound call is made.
  "to_number": A placeholder that will be replaced with the contact's phone number when the call is initiated.

Interaction Tracking and Automation

• Keyword Recognition: The AI system is configured to recognize specific keywords within a conversation transcript. This feature is essential for triggering automated actions based on conversational cues.
  "keyword": "attending"
• Tag Addition: Once the AI detects the keyword within a question and receives a positive affirmation from the contact, it automatically adds a predefined tag ("worked") to the contact's profile. This tagging helps in segmenting and identifying customer interactions for follow-up actions.
  "tag_to_add": "confirmed"

CRM Integration

• GHL Contact ID: The contact's unique identifier from GoHighLevelCRM is used to link the conversation to a specific individual within the CRM. This ensures that all interactions are logged against the correct contact, maintaining a coherent customer engagement history.
  "contact_id": "{{contact.id}}"

Agent Configurations

• “prompt”: A custom value within GHL that has the full script/prompt that you want your agent to follow. It will vary depending on the state or context of the call, such as a solar energy related prompt or a real estate prompt.
• "initial_message": The first message that the recipient will hear, often checking if the correct contact has been reached. For example: "Hey, is this {{ contact.first_name }}?",
• "voice": This section defines the characteristics of the synthetic voice used for the call, Refer to Voice Configurations for more information on how to tailor the voices to your liking.
• "interrupt_sensitivity": Determines how sensitive the system is to interruptions, suggesting that it's set to a high sensitivity.
• "endpointing_sensitivity": Manages how the system detects the end of the speaker's turn, set to auto for automatic detection.
• "conversation_speed": Likely controls the rate at which the AI speaks, set to twice the normal speed.
• "on_no_human_answer": Instructs the system to hang up or continue if no human response is detected.
  Example 1: Hang up the call if it goes to voicemail - on_no_human_answer="hangup"
  Example 2: Hook into when a call goes to voicemail - If you’d like the bot to stay on the call and leave a voicemail, set on_no_human_answer="continue"

Voice Configurations

• “Speed”: An integer number greater than or equal to 0. If equal to null or not provided, a random speed will be used. Useful to control the reproducibility of the generated audio. Assuming all other properties didn't change, a fixed seed should always generate the exact same audio file.
• “Voice_guidance”: A number between 1 and 6. Use lower numbers to reduce how unique your chosen voice will be compared to other voices. Higher numbers will maximize its individuality.
• “Temperature”: A floating point number between 0, inclusive, and 2, inclusive. If equal to null or not provided, the model's default temperature will be used. The temperature parameter controls variance. Lower temperatures result in more predictable results, higher temperatures allow each run to vary more, so the voice may sound less like the baseline voice.
• “Style_guidance”: A number between 1 and 30. Use lower numbers to reduce how strong your chosen emotion will be. Higher numbers will create a very emotional performance.

Conversational Dials

Customize your bot's conversational behavior & tune the responsiveness and conversational mechanics of your agent. These parameters are as follows:

Interrupt Sensitivity

• Agents are designed to handle interruptions from humans, and the interrupt_sensitivity parameter controls how sensitive the bot is to these interruptions.
• Interrupt sensitivity has two options: low (default) and high. Low sensitivity makes the bot ignore backchannels (e.g. “sure”, “uh-huh”) while the bot is speaking. High sensitivity makes the agent treat any word from the human as an interruption.
• In summary:
  Possible values: low, high
  Default value: low
  low = ignore non-interrupting words
  high = stop at any word

Response Sensitivity

• endpointing_sensitivity controls how the bot determines when the human is done speaking so it can kick off its response. It can be one of sensitive, relaxed, or auto (default and currently equivalent to relaxed).
  A bot with endpointing_sensitivity == 'sensitive' treats the end of a sentence or a short pause as the end of the human’s turn. This works well for quick conversations in which you expect short, single-sentence responses from the human. A bot with this sensitivity runs the risk of interrupting the human if they continue speaking after a single sentence.
• A bot with endpointing_sensitivity == 'relaxed' waits a short time after the end of a human’s sentence before considering their turn over. Alternatively, when a sentence is not finished, relaxed sensitivity waits for a longer pause before marking the end of the human’s speech. This sensitivity has less risk of interrupting the human but can potentially have a slower response time. Note that auto sensitivity is equivalent to relaxed.
• Note: the amount of time the agent waits during a pause adapts to the human’s utterance speed. If the human speaks fast, the bot will wait less, and if the human speaks slow the bot will wait longer.
• In summary:
  Possible values: sensitive, relaxed, auto
  Default value: auto
  sensitive = end of first sentence or shorter pause
  relaxed/auto = pause after end of first sentence or longer pause​

Conversation Speed

• conversation_speed controls the length of endpointing pauses, i.e. how long the bot will wait before responding to the human. This includes normal utterances from the human as well as interruptions.
• The amount of time the bot waits inversely scales with the conversation_speed value. So a bot with conversation_speed of 2 responds in half the time compared to a conversation_speed of 1. Likewise a conversation_speed of 0.5 means the bot takes twice as long to respond.
• In summary:
  Possible values: between 0.5 and 2
  Default value: 1
  Response time inversely scales with this value

Actions

• "action_transfer_call": If certain conditions are met during the call, this action allows the system to transfer the call to another specified phone number.
• "action_dtmf": Allows the system to input DTMF tones, which are typically used for navigating phone menus. actions=[DtmfActionParams(type="action_dtmf")]

Initial Message Delay

• "initial_message_delay": Indicates how long of a delay before the initial message is played. People when they answer the phone will immediately say “Hello who’s this? Who’s calling?” in the first seconds of a call and could potentially throw off the agent. So initial message delay lets you set how many seconds of a delay before the agent start talking/saying their “initial_message”:

IVR Navigation Mode

• Configuring the ivr_navigation_mode to default allows the voice bot to remain silent during hold times and extends the automatic call termination from 30 seconds of silence to 10 minutes.

HIPAA Compliance

• The hipaa_compliant flag in outbound calls API configures the system to not persist any potentially sensitive information. Turning on the flag makes the API supportable for use-cases requiring HIPAA compliance.
• In particular, turning on the flag(hipaa_compliant=True):
• Redacts the content of the prompt on the calls resource
• Prevents the transcript from being written to the calls resource
• Configures the call not to be recorded
