Assistants Q and As
| Questions | Answers |
|---|---|
| If I give an assistant a name on the configure page is that the name its going to use on the phone? | The assistant's name in the configure page and the name used on the phone are different, you name the assistant in the prompt. This means the assistant's name on the configure page can be "John AI" or "AI Call assistant for ACME" but inside the prompt you can name the assistant "Derrick" and it will greet your customers as "Derrick" |

| If I change the advanced voice settings around why does the assistant sound better sometimes and worse some times? | The advanced settings are tweaked from us to sound the best in most scenarios. We suggest leaving them as is unless you need to make adjustments, then we only suggest making small adjustments as to not completely break the voice. |
| Why is my assistant talking to the voicemail of the customer or client I am calling? | The Voicemail detection rate is quite high for our assistants but sometimes with specific voicemails, especially ones with the customer own voice speaking. If you would like a better experience with voicemail you can switch your Voicemail Detection to "Time based" |
| Why does my inbound assistant not allow for variables? | The inbound assistants do not allow for variables because they wont know who is calling them before the call. There is a workflow that you can do with Custom Actions for inbound calls if you need your Assistant to reference information from outside of the application.
