voice bot

Synthetic phone assistant

A voice bot is an automated system that uses speech recognition and synthesis to conduct spoken conversations, typically for customer service or information retrieval.

Unlike text-based chatbots, voice bots interact through natural speech: The voice bot asked me to describe my issue.

They handle tasks like booking appointments, answering FAQs, or routing calls, though users often find them frustrating when they misunderstand requests or can't handle complex queries.
