How does Puhebotti's AI work?
Puhebotti AI is the technology that makes natural phone conversations possible. On this page we explain what actually happens during a call, and how we keep the process transparent.
What happens during a call?
Every conversation goes through three technical stages, all in real time, without the caller needing to wait.
Speech recognition
The caller's speech is turned into text almost instantly, understanding dialects and everyday language too.
Language understanding
A language model interprets what the caller means and forms a relevant, natural response.
Speech synthesis
The response is turned back into natural speech, and the conversation continues without noticeable delay.
Why doesn't Puhebotti sound like a robot?
Many worry that an AI answering service will feel stiff. Here's how we make sure it doesn't.
Tuned for natural language
Puhebotti recognizes everyday language, dialects, and imprecise phrasing. The caller doesn't need to rephrase their question or speak in an overly clear way.
Can converse, not just listen
If the caller interrupts, changes topic, or returns to an earlier point mid-call, Puhebotti keeps up with the flow of the conversation.
No noticeable delay
Responses arrive almost instantly, so the conversation flows at the same pace as a call with a human.
Asks only what's relevant
Puhebotti focuses on exactly the questions your business needs, without dragging the conversation out unnecessarily.
Honestly AI
Puhebotti always states at the start of the call that the caller is talking to an AI-assisted answering service and that the call is recorded. This is never hidden or left unmentioned.
The recording and the summary made from it are processed in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Exact retention periods, legal grounds for processing, and data subject rights can be found in the privacy policy.
How is this different from a traditional phone menu?
- Works with fixed keypad choices
- Doesn't understand free speech
- One wrong choice and the caller gets stuck
- Can't handle unexpected questions
- Understands freely spoken language
- Doesn't require specific keywords or keypad choices
- Can ask for clarification if something is unclear
- Remembers what's already been said during the call
