AI phone support line from your own knowledge base
For product and service teams with a support number and a set of answers that repeat: upload the answers as a knowledge base, attach it to an agent, and route the number to it. The agent answers from what you gave it, every call is transcribed, and you pay per second of talk time from a prepaid balance.

How do you build an AI phone support agent with Wixzel Voice?
- 01POST /v1/knowledge-bases
Upload the documents or answers the agent may draw on.
- 02POST /v1/agents
Create the agent with the knowledge base attached, a tone, and the escalation rule.
- 03POST /v1/sip-trunks
Route the support number's trunk to the platform for inbound calls.
- 04Turn taking
Tune interrupt_sensitivity and silence_wait_ms so callers can cut in without the agent talking over them.
- 05GET /v1/calls
Review transcripts, find the questions the knowledge base did not cover, and improve it.
Which voice engine fits an inbound support line?
Use the gemini-live engine on Wixzel Voice, at $0.0466 per connected minute. Support calls are conversational and interruption-heavy; a realtime engine keeps the turn latency lowest. The classic engine is the cheaper choice if cost matters more than snappiness.
What does an inbound support line cost on Wixzel Voice?
Wixzel Voice engine time for 4-minute calls on the gemini-live engine, at typical speech rates, billed per second of actual usage. Telephony is your own trunk at your carrier’s rate and is not included, and shorter calls cost proportionally less.
| Calls per month | Connected minutes | Engine cost per month |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | 1,200 | $55.92 |
| 1,500 | 6,000 | $280 |
| 6,000 | 24,000 | $1,118 |
Prepaid: add credit from $5 and the calls spend it. Estimate your own mix.
Which guides show how to build an AI phone support agent on Wixzel Voice?
Answer your existing Twilio number with an AI receptionist that books appointments, using a Twilio Elastic SIP trunk and the Wixzel Voice TypeScript SDK.
Put Google's Gemini Live model on a real phone call over your own SIP trunk with four cURL requests, then read the call record with its transcript and cost.
Four requests to a ringing phone, what a call record returns, and what a call costs.
Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo, Vonage, Bandwidth, Exotel, Vobiz or any SIP provider: what to set at the carrier.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a Wixzel Voice agent answer questions from my own documents?
- Yes. A knowledge base is uploaded through the API and attached to the agent, which answers from it during the call.
- Can callers interrupt the agent?
- Yes. interrupt_sensitivity on the agent governs how readily it stops talking when the caller speaks. Short acknowledgements like "yes" never interrupt at any setting; they are queued and answered when the agent finishes.
- What if the agent does not know the answer?
- Give it an escalation rule in the prompt: take a message, promise a callback, or transfer the caller to a person. A transfer bridges the call over your SIP trunk to a number you listed in the agent's human_transfer settings, never to one the model makes up. The transcript shows you which questions to add to the knowledge base.
- What does a four-minute support call cost?
- About 0.186 dollars on the gemini-live engine, or 0.347 on classic, plus your carrier's rate.
What else do developers build on Wixzel Voice?
Build an agent that answers the phone, checks availability and books an appointment, over your own SIP trunk, with the booking written back through the API.
Upload leads, start a campaign, and have an agent call each one over your own SIP trunk and ask your qualifying questions. Every call is a record with its status and transcript, linked to the lead.
Run phone agents in Indian languages on models built for them, with the sarvam engine covering speech-to-text, the language model and text-to-speech end to end.
Put an agent in a browser page, a Flutter app or a kiosk with no SIP trunk and no phone number: your server mints a one-minute session, the app streams audio over a WebSocket, and the session is billed like a call.
Connect Claude Code, claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cursor or any MCP client to your account, and let an AI agent connect a carrier, build a voice agent, place calls, run campaigns and read transcripts, with every tool that spends money asking first.
