Key Capabilities

Natural Language Understanding

Callers describe their need in their own words. AI understands intent and routes them instantly.

  • Free-form speech recognition
  • Intent classification with 95% accuracy
  • Multi-turn clarification when needed
  • 100+ language support

Intent-Based Routing

AI determines caller intent and routes to the right department, agent, or self-service option.

  • Real-time intent classification
  • Skill-based agent matching

Frequently Asked Questions

What's wrong with traditional IVR?

Traditional IVR systems force callers through rigid menu trees (Press 1 for sales, Press 2 for support...). This leads to high abandonment rates (15-25%), long routing times (2-4 minutes), and poor customer satisfaction. Most callers don't know which option fits their need.

How does conversational AI replace IVR?

Instead of menu options, callers simply say what they need: 'I want to check my order status' or 'I need to reschedule my appointment.' The AI understands the intent and either resolves the issue directly or routes to the right agent — typically in 30-60 seconds vs 2-4 minutes.

Can it handle our existing call routing logic?

Yes. We map your existing IVR decision tree into conversational AI logic. All your routing rules, department assignments, and escalation paths are preserved — callers just interact naturally instead of pressing buttons.

How long does migration from IVR take?

Simple IVR replacements go live in 1-2 weeks. Complex multi-level IVR trees with custom integrations typically take 2-4 weeks. We run both systems in parallel during migration so there's zero downtime.

What if callers still want to press buttons?

isLucid supports DTMF (touch-tone) input alongside voice. Callers who prefer pressing buttons can do so, while those who prefer speaking naturally can talk to the AI. Both inputs are handled seamlessly.
