Retell AI
Retell AI is a powerful conversational AI platform designed to automate voice, SMS, and chat interactions with natural, humanlike performance. Built on top of your choice of large language models (LLMs), Retell allows teams to spin up real-time AI agents that handle calls, trigger messaging workflows, and integrate seamlessly into your existing systems—all without writing code. At its core, Retell delivers Voice Agent Automation that feels indistinguishable from speaking with a real person. Calls are handled by LLM-native agents that respond within 600 milliseconds, support multi-turn logic, and operate across 31+ languages with native-quality speech. You can build and manage your own agent flows using an intuitive drag-and-drop builder that supports IVR trees, dynamic transfers, real-time webhooks, and CRM integration. Whether you’re scheduling appointments, answering FAQs, or qualifying leads, these agents are fast, reliable, and production-ready. Beyond voice, Retell also enables SMS and chat automation. Agents can send contextual messages during or after phone calls, or operate as standalone text/chat bots. You can use Twilio numbers or bring your own for outbound campaigns, enabling flexible, multi-channel engagement. To ensure quality and insight, Retell offers built-in testing and QA tools. You can simulate conversations, A/B test call flows, and monitor live call data through detailed dashboards. Track CSAT, latency, sentiment, and conversation outcomes—all in one place. Voice agents can be deployed via Twilio, SIP, branded caller ID, or embedded using Retell’s web SDKs. Unlike legacy IVR or scripted systems, Retell is built from the ground up to be AI-native and fully customizable. Whether you’re in healthcare, logistics, fintech, or customer support, Retell’s platform lets you scale personalized conversations across channels—boosting customer satisfaction and reducing operational costs.
