Designing your voice bot

    Overview

    The Design Your Voice BOT feature in Chat360 lets you rapidly build conversational voice agents—both inbound and outbound—using a no-code, drag-and-drop interface. You’ll configure languages, TTS/STT models, and voice actors so your bot speaks and understands precisely as required.

  • Step-by-Step Guide
    • 1. Create a New Voice BOT
      • Navigate to Bots → Voice BOT tab.
      • Click Create BOT, choose Inbound or Outbound, and enter a descriptive name (e.g., “Support Line” or “Survey Dialer”).
      • Your BOT is provisioned instantly.
      2. Access the Builder Canvas
      • Click Go to Builder on your new BOT to open the drag-and-drop workspace.
      • The Start node appears by default—link components (Message, Collect Input, Conditional, Webhook) to craft your dialogue flow.
      3. Configure Languages
      • In Settings → Languages, select which languages the BOT will speak and recognize from the dropdown (e.g., English, Hindi, Marathi).
      • Use Case: A multilingual support line that greets callers in their preferred language automatically.
      4. Select TTS & Voice Actors
      • Under Settings → Advanced TTS, pick your TTS engine (e.g., standard or neural).
      • Assign specific voice actors per language—preview each sample before saving.
      • Use Case: A banking BOT that uses a formal male voice in English and a warm female voice in regional languages.
      5. Configure Speech-to-Text (STT)
      • In Settings → STT Model, choose the speech recognition model best suited for your audio quality and languages.
      • Use Case: A survey BOT using a high-accuracy STT model to capture open-ended responses during outbound campaigns.
      6. Design Dialog Logic
      • Drag in Collect Input components (e.g., Name, Phone) to gather caller details.
      • Use Conditional components to branch based on answers (e.g., “Press 1 for Sales, 2 for Support”).
      • Integrate Webhook calls to pull or push data (e.g., fetch account status in real-time).

  • Real Life Use Cases for Voice BOT
  • Automated Voice BOT in Banking & Finance
    • Use Cases:
      • Balance & Transaction Inquiries: Customers call a dedicated line, authenticate via PIN or OTP, and the Voice BOT instantly reads out current balances, last five transactions, or available credit limits.
      • Fraud Detection Alerts: On detecting suspect activity, the system triggers an outbound BOT call—“Hello Mr. Kumar, we noticed a â‚č12,000 transaction at ABC Store. Press 1 to confirm, 2 to report fraud.”—streamlining rapid response and minimizing losses.
      • Loan Repayment Reminders: Ahead of due dates, the BOT calls borrowers with personalized scripts (“Your auto loan EMI of â‚č15,000 is due in two days. Press 1 to pay now via secure link sent to your registered mobile.”), boosting on-time collections.

      • Medication Adherence Checks: At prescribed intervals, the BOT calls chronic-care patients (“Hi Seema, it’s time for your 2 PM dose of Metformin. Press 1 to confirm you’ve taken it.”), with non-responses automatically logged for follow-up by a nurse.
      • Post-Discharge Follow-Up: Within 24 hours of discharge, an outbound BOT checks on recovery (“How would you rate your pain today on a scale of 1–5?”) and escalates alerts if responses indicate complications.

    • Use Cases:
      • Order Tracking & Delivery Windows: Shoppers call or opt-in to receive outbound BOT alerts (“Your package from TrendyApparel ships today and will arrive between 3–6 PM. Reply ‘Yes’ to confirm delivery instructions or ‘No’ to reschedule.”).
      • Back-in-Stock Notifications: Customers opt in for out-of-stock SKUs; when inventory replenishes, the BOT calls with a personalized offer (“Hi Amit, the smartphone you requested is back! Press 1 to buy now at 15% off.”), driving instant conversions.
      • Cart Abandonment Outreach: If a user leaves items in their cart online, the BOT places a proactive call—“You left 2 items in your cart worth â‚č3,200. Press 1 to complete checkout with free shipping.”—recovering up to 20% of abandoned carts.
