BUILDING an AI Call Center | VAPI Squads Full Guide

Ғылым және технология

In this VAPI tutorial, we’ll be building an AI Call Center using the newly released VAPI Squads feature. VAPI Squads enables you to create teams of AI callers, making each and every VAPI assistant specialized and higher performing. The specific example that we’ll be building is a customer support AI call center, where we’ll have separate voice AI agents for transferring calls, managing accounts, troubleshooting, and appointment setting. We'll also be creating VAPI tools using Make.com to enable powerful actions for AI calling agents.

    Hey Aydin, so in this demo, we had all 4 assistants on the same phone number, so it didn't have to do any "real" transferring. I haven't actually tried what you're referring to inside VAPI, so I can't say for sure 100% that it's possible with VAPI's platform. But to test it out, what I would do is to make sure your phone numbers have an assistantId connected to them (can do this with a PATCH request to update assistantId field for the phone number and then setup a transferCall tool (for the initial assistant that will pick up the call) where you can transfer to different phone numbers depending on the situation. See the following links for more info: docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/phone-numbers/update-phone-number docs.vapi.ai/call-forwarding Hope this helps.

  • @theibrahimmunir

    10 күн бұрын

    I would double check the serverUrl to make sure it matches the Make webhook URL. Also make sure the tool description is well written and clear. And don't forget to run the Make scenario when you're trying to test the webhook. Make sure you can connect to the Airtable as well, as long as you follow the settings I have on my scenario, it should work. I would suggest fixing the webhook issue first since that could be causing some of other issues though, and then take it from there.

That portion of the video covers how to test the webhooks and make sure that the webhooks are catching your data from VAPI correctly. If you do this part correctly, the webhook data should show up when you're using the Airtable module.

    At the time of this video, Claude was running faster and more accurately for me. Sonnet 3.5 also was released recently, and pretty good (just as good if not better than 4o on certain tasks). Both 4o and Claude are good choices though. If you prefer 4o, feel free to substitute that LLM in. Should accomplish the same results.

    How can this be made for clients? Is there whitelabeling or would it be a case of creating the system and then billing clients on the usage?

  • @theibrahimmunir

    @theibrahimmunir

    17 күн бұрын

    Some clients might just want the configuration of the Squad and then they take it from there (so just what I built in this video). For whitelabeling or a full dashboard solution, this VAPI Squad could be used the AI calling infrastructures and then you just build a UI around it, usually with custom code with JavaScript (maybe could try out some no-code app platforms). Probably want to setup a database as well to store user data, transcripts, recordings, summaries, etc. 2nd option will obviously be a more costly solution in terms of price and upfront work but also once you build it once, you can easily re-sell to other clients. Hope this helps.
