Simple to set up. Easy to use. Powerful integrations.

Get started

Whether your team is on another call, in a meeting, or offline, Aircall's AI Voice Agents qualify the lead, book the meeting, and hand your rep a warm conversation instead.

Aircall's AI Voice Agents don't just pass along information, they take action: qualifying, booking, and updating your CRM, so your reps focus on the conversations that need them.

Every lead you're too slow for is a lead you lose

Hot leads cool off fast. A prospect calls or fills out a form ready to talk. If nobody picks up in the first few minutes, that readiness is gone, and a competitor answers next.

Reps spend more time on process than pipeline. Sales reps spend up to 70% of their time on non-selling work: logging calls, updating records, qualifying leads that were never a fit. Gartner found that 41% of sellers already say AI has freed up exactly that kind of time. The question is what replaces it.

Qualification depends on who picks up the phone. Ask ten reps the same question and you'll get ten different answers logged, or none at all. The next rep inherits a lead with no reliable data behind it.

None of this is a headcount problem. It's a response-time problem.

AI Voice Agents: No lead waits. No question gets skipped

No lead is lost to inconsistent qualification. Every call asks the same questions, in the same order, whether it's the first call of the day or the five-hundredth, and logs the same clean data to the contact record, so pipeline quality never depends on which rep picked up or how their day is going.

Qualified leads turn into booked meetings, not follow-up tasks. The AI Voice Agent checks your rep's calendar and books the meeting before the call ends, so qualification converts to pipeline immediately, not a to-do for later.

No lead waits on rep availability. The moment a lead shows intent, whether from a form fill or a CRM trigger, the AI Voice Agent calls and hands a warm, qualified lead to a rep with full context attached.

Reps only spend time where it counts. Complex conversations still escalate immediately, with the full transcript and context attached, so reps step in only when a lead actually needs judgment.

Automate targeted outreach campaigns. Coming soon, AI Voice Agents will call your lead list directly inside Aircall — re-engaging warm leads, confirming meetings, and keeping every call compliant with built-in consent tracking and calling-hours enforcement.

What it actually does

Take a look at what sets AI Voice Agents apart as a sales tool, not just a phone line:

  • Inbound lead qualification: qualifies every lead with the same questions, every time, and logs answers straight to the contact record

  • Autonomous booking: checks rep availability, books the meeting into your CRM, and sends a confirmation by text before the call ends

  • Follow-up and pipeline management: follows up on new leads the moment they show intent, and leaves a personalised voicemail if nobody picks up

  • Objection handling and multilingual support: answers common objections from your knowledge base and speaks 23 languages, so no lead is lost to routine pushback or a language barrier

  • AI Outbound Campaigns (coming soon): calls your lead list directly inside Aircall, with built-in consent tracking and calling-hours enforcement, re-engaging warm leads and confirming meetings before they go cold

Every call sharpens your pipeline data. Structured qualification answers and call outcomes write back to your CRM automatically, so it stays clean and your sales dashboards reflect what actually happened on the call, not what a rep remembered to type up afterward.

Set up your AI SDR in 3 steps

1. Pick the job. Choose the Lead Qualification agent template and Aircall pre-fills it with sample qualifying questions and contact fields. Every plan already includes AI Voice Agents minutes, so there's a working agent to review from day one, not a blank project.

2. Confirm what it asks and how it talks. Review the qualification questions, connect your CRM so the agent can check calendars and book meetings, and check the conversation flow, laid out visually, including where it escalates to a rep.

3. Test it, then go live. Make a test call, connect your sales number, and activate. Most teams go from template to a live qualifying agent in minutes.

Automatic follow-up is the natural next step. Once your inbound agent is live and qualifying, adding follow-up on new leads turns it into a full pipeline motion, the same way it went live the first time.

Get started today, with a single system

Most AI SDR tools speed up work your team already does. Aircall's AI Voice Agents do something different: they pick up the leads your team can't get to in time, the after-hours form fill, the inbound spike your reps can't answer fast enough, the lead that goes cold in the minutes before someone calls back. That's not automating an existing workflow, it's pipeline that would have been lost.

It works because it isn't a separate system to manage. Aircall is the phone system trusted by more than 23,000 businesses, and AI Voice Agents run on that same phone system, number, and CRM connection your reps already use, not a bot bolted on from another vendor. When a lead moves from qualification to booking, or from an inbound call to a follow-up, full context passes automatically, so nothing gets re-asked and no rep opens a conversation cold.

AI Voice Agents connect to HubSpot today, with Salesforce and more integrations on the roadmap, so qualified leads and booked meetings land exactly where your reps already work.

If slow follow-up or inconsistent qualification is costing you pipeline, let's see how AI Voice Agents can handle it!
