Our AI agent is named the agent. It is software, not a person.
the agent runs on a combination of language-model, text-to-speech, and speech-to-text providers — all US-based, all on standard API tiers contractually prohibited from training on your call data. The full processor list (current vendor names + what each one does + where each operates) is in section 5 of the Privacy Policy. We keep vendor names there, not here, so we can swap providers without rewriting this page.
What the agent does not do — voice cloning of callers, speaker identification, biometric voice analysis — is covered in section 3 (what data the AI sees) and section 6 (no voiceprints).
Inbound calls (someone calls your business):
Outbound tasks (you ask the agent to make a call):
That’s the product. The agent is not a personal assistant for your life, not a sales auto-dialer, not a 911 service, and not a substitute for a doctor, lawyer, or accountant.
What the AI does not see:
The full processor list and what each one sees lives in the Privacy Policy.
Both of the following are always on. Neither can be disabled by an account holder.
Floor #1 — truth when asked. The agent will answer truthfully if a caller asks whether they’re talking to a person. If a caller says “are you a real person?” or “is this a bot?” or any variation, the agent says clearly that it’s an AI. This is enforced through the agent’s locked system instructions on every call.
Floor #2 — proactive AI identification in the greeting. Every greeting includes an AI identification (e.g., “this is the agent, an AI assistant for [your business]”). You can customize the greeting wording — the agent’s name, the tone, the opening question, the business reference — but the AI identification stays. We don’t let it be stripped, and the editor surfaces a warning if you try.
So the posture is: every caller hears that they’re talking to AI in the opening line, AND has a clear way to confirm it any time during the call by asking. This goes beyond the California SB 1001 / Texas TRAIGA truth-when-asked minimum and addresses the more recent state AI-disclosure laws too.
One disclosure, everywhere. We apply the same disclosure on every call, nationwide. See section 5.
We don’t run per-state disclosure rules. We apply one uniform disclosure on every call, nationwide. The greeting always identifies the agent as AI and states that the call may be transcribed — and adds “and recorded” when recording is enabled for your number.
The default greeting is something like: “Hi, this is the agent, an AI assistant for [your business]. This call may be transcribed.” With recording on, it becomes “…This call may be transcribed and recorded.”
Applying this to every call, rather than only to callers in certain states, is deliberate: it meets or exceeds the requirements of the all-party-consent recording states and the state AI-disclosure laws (such as California SB 1001 and AB 2905) without us having to guess a caller’s location. The AI-identification part of the greeting is locked (Floor #2 in section 4) and the truth-when-asked floor (Floor #1) stays on no matter what — neither can be removed from the greeting or the outbound-task form.
Call My Agent does not collect, store, or process voiceprints, speaker-identification fingerprints, or biometric voice analysis of callers.
This matters most in Illinois, where the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) creates a private right of action with statutory damages of $1,000 (negligent) or $5,000 (intentional) per violation for businesses that collect biometric identifiers without specific written consent. Our architecture forecloses that exposure cleanly: we don’t collect those identifiers in the first place.
If we ever offer a feature where the account holder’s own voice is cloned for use as the agent voice, we’d build a separate consent flow per ElevenLabs’s voice-cloning terms — and the cloned voice would be the account holder’s, never a caller’s.
Recording is off by default for your business phone number. Transcripts are still saved (the AI runs on text), but the underlying audio is not stored unless you turn recording on.
Turning recording on or off is a single decision per phone number. You flip it on for the whole line when you need to replay actual voice (training, dispute resolution, accuracy verification). You leave it off if transcript-search is enough. No per-call toggle in v1.
When recording is on, the agent’s greeting includes a “this call may be recorded” notice at the start of every call. The recording stream doesn’t start until that notice has played, so a caller who hangs up during the announcement is never recorded.
When recording is on, the notice is combined with the AI-identification phrase in the same greeting, and that combined greeting plays on every call, nationwide. Applying it everywhere — not just to callers in certain states — satisfies both state recording-consent law (including the all-party-consent states) and state AI-disclosure law (see section 5).
Outbound calls inherit the recording setting of the originating business number — if your inbound is recorded, your outbound is too. The same combined notice plays at the start.
the agent makes mistakes — sometimes mishearing a name, sometimes summarizing a call in a way that misses nuance, sometimes booking the wrong time slot if the caller was ambiguous. The binding legal framing (warranty disclaimer, your responsibility to verify, the agent doesn’t sign contracts on your behalf) is in the Terms of Service, section “Responsibility for AI output.” This section is the operational counterpart: what you can actually do about a bad call.
What you can do:
the agent is built to know when it’s out of its depth. When the agent is uncertain, when a caller is upset, or when the conversation needs judgment the agent doesn’t have, the agent escalates to you instead of guessing.
What escalation looks like:
What you can configure:
What the agent won’t do:
Call My Agent is a tool. Your business is the one operating the line — you’re the “caller” or the “operator” under the laws below. Your use of the service has to comply with them. What we ship by default is built to help; the Permitted use section asks you to keep it that way and not configure around the floors.
