Hiya has built one of the world’s most trusted caller‑identity platforms: Hiya Branded Call, which helps businesses connect with their customers. Now, we are moving from displaying who is calling to automating calls. With the introduction of Hiya’s Voice AI Agents for automated calling, we are giving businesses the ability to scale human-like conversations to handle routine tasks, so existing employees can concentrate on more complicated tasks.

What is a voice AI agent?

At a high level, voice AI agents are software applications that use AI to understand, interpret, and respond to spoken language in real-time voice interactions. Hiya’s Voice AI Agents are digital representatives that handle both inbound and outbound phone calls with empathy and intelligence. Instead of a clunky interactive voice response system, these agents deliver natural, contextually aware conversations, collecting details, qualifying leads, scheduling meetings, and more. The result is an automated caller that feels personal while also building trust through branded caller ID.

The setup is intentionally simple. Businesses can create a profile, upload their knowledge base and deploy an AI agent within minutes—no code required. Once live, the agents are available 24/7 to answer inbound calls, initiate follow‑ups, and even conduct cold‑call campaigns.

Why use voice AI agents?

There are several reasons why voice AI agents are more than just another interactive voice response system:

  • Human‑like chat: AI agents engage in natural, context-aware conversations, matching the warmth and intelligence expected from human representatives.
  • Available 24/7: Because they operate around the clock, AI agents are available to talk any time your customers call, day or night.
  • No‑code deployment: Setup requires no technical skills. Simply build a business profile, add your knowledge base, and start creating agents in minutes.
  • Inbound and outbound sales: AI agents can handle inbound inquiries, follow‑ups and cold calls while intelligently qualifying leads and routing them.
  • Analytics included: Built‑in analytics help businesses monitor performance and continuously improve scripts and flows.
  • Hiya’s Branded Call add-on: Each call can show your company name, logo and call reason, so your customers know exactly who is calling.

Tailored to your business

Hiya emphasises that Voice AI agents can adapt to a wide range of use cases. Businesses can define high‑level goals and granular tasks so that agents know how to handle everything from simple FAQs to objection handling. Agents can collect caller details and push that information directly into existing systems. Because the agents are always on, they never miss a conversation and can automatically schedule followup calls or book meetings through calendar integrations such as Google Calendar.

Beyond handling calls, the platform offers analytics to optimize agent performance. Teams can review metrics, listen to call recordings and read transcripts to understand customer interactions. These insights allow for continuous improvement of scripts and flows and help ensure that the AI agents stay aligned with brand voice and business goals.
