Outbound Voice Bot Feature FAQs
Straight answers on bot types, dialers, pricing, compliance and limits.
1
What features does VoiceOI offer?
VoiceOI offers a no-code visual script builder with two bot types (recorded-voice bots and AI agents), a simulator for test calls, campaigns with scheduling, retries, timezone windows and lead lists, live call monitoring, call logs, dispositions, recordings and transcripts, a live transfer to human closers, answering machine detection, do-not-call phrase handling, and VICIdial and SIP integration.
2
Does VoiceOI require an LLM to run voice agents?
It depends on the bot type. Recorded-voice bots are script-driven: they follow a branching script of real or pre-generated voice lines, so they say exactly what you recorded. AI agents are LLM-driven, but only inside the limits you configure in the script builder. VoiceOI bills per bot, so there is no per-minute AI fee. The language model runs on VoiceOI infrastructure by default.

How fast do VoiceOI voice agents respond?
In testing, a turn takes about a second. Speech recognition, voices and the language model run on VoiceOI's own infrastructure by default. Use the simulator to hear how your own script flows before you launch.

How does the visual script builder work?
You lay out the call flow visually: the opening, your questions, branches based on what the lead says, and the transfer or hang-up. Recorded-voice bots use a branching script of real or pre-generated voice lines. AI agents get the same builder plus the limits you set around the conversation. No code and no developers are required, and every change can be tested in the simulator first.
5
Which dialers and carriers do the bots work with?
Bots work with VICIdial, as remote agents, or with any SIP carrier. The dialer integration section of this page has the details. Without VICIdial, the built-in dialer calls a CSV lead list through your carrier.

How does VoiceOI scale and what does it cost?
Each bot is one concurrent call slot, billed prepaid per bot with no per-minute AI fee. List prices run from $25 to $155 per bot per month depending on the bot type and connection, with volume discounts of up to 60%. Your carrier bills the call minutes. Capacity grows by adding bot nodes.
7
What compliance tools does VoiceOI include for outbound calling?
Answering machine detection, spoken do-not-call request handling that ends the call, timezone-aware calling windows, and an optional TCPA AI-voice disclosure. Call logs, recordings and transcripts are available in the dashboard for review. Since the FCC ruled in February 2024 that AI-generated voices are artificial voices under the TCPA, telemarketing calls that use them need prior express written consent, and compliance stays your responsibility. These controls support your own compliance program and do not replace it. This is general information, not legal advice.
