Common questions

How is an AI voice agent different from an IVR?

An IVR routes callers through fixed menus. A voice agent holds an open conversation, reads from and writes to business systems, and completes the task without a menu tree.

What do freight brokers use AI voice agents for?

The most documented uses are inbound carrier sales calls, outbound check calls for ETAs, rate negotiation, appointment scheduling, and payment or collections calls. See the 2026 benchmark.
