The Call Flow at a Glance

Live Bots 365 sits between your phone numbers and your business logic. When a call is placed or received, the platform routes audio through its AI engine, which transcribes speech in real time, generates a contextually appropriate response, and converts that response back to natural-sounding speech — all within a fraction of a second. The result is a seamless, human-like conversation driven entirely by the instructions you define.

1
A call is initiated
Either an inbound caller dials your Live Bots 365 number, or your outbound campaign dials a lead from your list.
2
The AI assistant answers
Your configured assistant picks up the call and greets the caller using the initial message you defined.
3
Real-time speech processing
The caller speaks. Live Bots 365 transcribes the audio, processes it against your assistant's instructions and knowledge base, and formulates a response.
4
Natural voice response
The AI responds using your chosen voice — either a pre-built voice or a cloned version of a real voice — continuing the conversation naturally.
5
Actions are triggered
If the conversation reaches a defined trigger point (e.g., the caller wants to book an appointment), the assistant uses its configured tools to take action — booking a slot, sending an SMS, or calling a webhook.
6
Call ends and data is saved
When the call concludes, a full transcript, recording, and summary are stored in your Conversations dashboard for review and analysis.

Key Components Involved

ComponentRole in the Call
AI AssistantHolds the instructions, persona, voice, and tools that define how the agent behaves.
Phone NumberThe telephony endpoint through which calls are placed or received.
System PromptThe set of instructions that tells the AI how to behave, what to say, and what to avoid.
Knowledge BaseA library of documents or FAQs the AI can reference to answer specific questions.
Mid-Call ToolsFunctions the AI can invoke during a call, such as booking appointments or sending texts.
Speech EngineThe text-to-speech and speech-to-text layer that converts audio to text and back.

Inbound vs. Outbound

Live Bots 365 supports both directions of calling, and the setup process differs slightly between them.

Inbound Calls

You purchase a phone number through Live Bots 365 and assign an assistant to it. When someone calls that number, the assistant answers automatically. Ideal for customer service lines, support hotlines, and reception automation.

Outbound Calls

You upload a list of leads and create a campaign that instructs an assistant to call each one. The platform dials the numbers automatically and the assistant conducts the conversation. Ideal for sales outreach, appointment reminders, and follow-ups.
