Is it just plug-and-play?
Not really. Deployment is a process. The first step is choosing a telephony provider like Twilio or Telnyx to connect your business number. From there, you link the AI agent into your call flow.
What’s in a deployment checklist?
● Connect the phone number
● Map call flows
● Add CRM or booking integrations
● Test for latency and reliability
● Monitor performance after launch
How do you avoid mistakes?
Test in stages. Start with a soft launch on a small set of calls. Monitor how it handles conversations. Fix weak spots before rolling out to everyone.
Do you need ongoing support?
Yes. AI isn’t “set and forget.” Conversations evolve, businesses change, and new scenarios appear. Regular monitoring and updates keep the agent sharp.
How long before it’s fully live?
A basic deployment can take a couple of weeks. Complex systems might take months. But once live, scaling is simple - adding more calls doesn’t require more staff.
