CHATBOTS

Natural-Language Voice IVR with Intent Routing

Transcribes a caller's spoken request, classifies intent with an LLM, and either answers order status by voice from Postgres or routes other intents to a human queue.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerProvider posts transcribed caller utteranceHTTP webhook
  • ActionClassify caller intent with OpenAIOpenAI
  • LogicRoute on order-status vs. other intent
  • ActionLook up order in PostgresPostgreSQLPostgres
  • ActionSynthesize spoken status reply via ElevenLabsElevenLabsElevenLabs
  • OutputReturn audio URL or queue-routing directiveHTTP webhook

What it does

Replaces rigid press-1-for-this menus with natural speech. The caller says what they want in their own words; an LLM classifies the intent, and the bot answers order-status questions directly with synthesized voice while handing off everything else (returns, billing, complaints) to the right queue.

When to use it

Use it when a single-purpose order-status bot is too narrow and you want one voice entry point that understands free-form requests. Requires a telephony provider that posts a transcript of the caller's utterance.

How it works

  1. 1The provider posts the caller's transcribed utterance and order context to the webhook.
  2. 2OpenAI classifies the intent into order-status or another category.
  3. 3A logic step routes on the classified intent.
  4. 4For order-status, Postgres is queried and ElevenLabs speaks the result.
  5. 5For other intents, a routing instruction (target queue) is returned to the provider instead of audio.
  6. 6The response — audio URL or routing directive — goes back to the telephony provider.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect HTTP webhookTrigger any URL on agent actions.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Connect ElevenLabsText-to-speech, voice cloning.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
