How many calls can the AI handle at the same time? Will callers be put on hold?

TL;DR

VoclyAI answers calls in parallel, not one at a time, so callers are not queued behind each other. How many can arrive at once depends mostly on your phone set-up, the number of lines or channels you connect. We size this with you.

The full answer

A single receptionist can take one call. The agent takes each call as it arrives, which is what removes the hold queue at peak times.

The practical limit is usually your telecom line, not the agent. Ask us on the demo call and we will size it to your peak hour.
