Product

We build interruptible, natural voice agents that carry context across phone, WhatsApp, and SMS, integrate with your stack, and optimize for outcomes (bookings, qualification, deflection), not just containment. You get warm handoffs, transcripts, and CRM updates automatically.

Yes. We support 50+ languages and accents, custom tone and scripts from your brand guidelines, and verified or branded caller ID where carrier programs allow, plus local numbers per region to lift pickup rates.

Very little. We are a fully managed end-to-end service: we provision numbers, verified caller ID, and integrations. You designate one business owner for decisions and (optionally) one engineer if you want deep custom logic or data warehouse hooks. Ongoing updates can be handled by your PM or ops lead via our dashboard.

Consent prompts and opt-out (STOP) are built in. We support DNC suppression, recording controls, redaction, and configurable retention aligned with GDPR and UK PECR. When unsure, the agent clarifies or warm-transfers to a human with a live summary.

Most pilots launch in 2–4 weeks: discovery → build and QA → soft launch. We begin with one workflow, prove it out, then layer in others as the first metrics come in. You designate one business owner for decisions; everything else (number provisioning, integrations, voice and agent setup, tuning, and monitoring) sits on our side.

Onboarding & operations

Most pilots launch in 2–4 weeks: discovery → build and QA → soft launch. We start with one workflow, prove it out, then layer in others as the first metrics come in.

Rolling agreements with quarterly reviews. You're not locked in long-term; you stay because the system is working. We tune and evolve the agents continuously alongside changes to your business.

You do. The prompts, voices, integrations, transcripts, and customer data are yours. We manage the system on your behalf, but you can take the keys at any time.

Continuous monitoring of every call, weekly performance reviews, prompt and tone tuning, vendor failover handling, and updates whenever your offer or process changes. Smart alerts surface anything unusual the moment it happens.

Compliance & data

Yes. We comply with GDPR, UK PECR, and CAN-SPAM. Consent prompts, opt-out (STOP), DNC suppression, and configurable retention are built in.

In region-appropriate cloud regions matching your buyer base (EU, US, India, UK). PII is encrypted at rest and in transit, with role-based access for your team.

Yes, for healthcare clients. We use HIPAA-compliant voice infrastructure and sign BAAs where required.

Automatic redaction of card numbers, SSNs, and other sensitive fields. Recording controls per use case, and retention windows you configure (e.g. delete recordings after 30 days).

Integrations

HubSpot, Salesforce, Airtable, Pipedrive, and Close out of the box. Anything with an API we can connect via custom integrations, usually in days, not weeks.

Yes. We're vendor-agnostic: we work with your existing Twilio, Vonage, or carrier setup, or we provision new local numbers per region to lift pickup rates.

Built-in failover. Kaigen orchestrates across multiple LLM, speech, and telephony vendors. If one goes down, traffic routes to the backup automatically and you don't feel the outage.

Voice AI primer

A natural-sounding AI that handles phone calls end-to-end: answers questions, asks qualifying questions, listens, books meetings, and sends follow-ups. Unlike a chatbot, it understands speech, handles interruptions, and carries context like a person would.

An IVR ("press 1 for sales") is a rigid menu tree. A voice AI agent understands free-form speech, answers nuanced questions, follows up dynamically, and routes to the right person with a live summary. IVRs contain; voice AI agents resolve.

When the AI hands a call off to a human teammate, it doesn't just connect the call. It briefs the human first with a summary of what the caller wanted, what's been agreed, and what's outstanding. The human picks up where the AI left off; the caller doesn't repeat themselves.

On a DIY platform (Synthflow, Vapi, Bland, and others) your team configures, deploys, monitors, integrates, and tunes the agent themselves, and stays responsible when something breaks. With Kaigen Labs, all of that sits on our side. You get the outcome; we own the build and the upkeep.

Voice, SMS, WhatsApp, and email working as one system. Example: the AI tries a call, leaves a voicemail, immediately sends a follow-up SMS with a booking link, and emails a recap, all on the same thread, with one conversation memory across channels. Pre-call SMS warmups lift pickup rates roughly 4×.

Differentiation

Those are DIY infrastructure. You sign up, build the agent, wire up integrations, monitor performance, and tune prompts yourself. Kaigen Labs is a managed service that often sits on top of platforms like those. We handle build, integration, monitoring, tuning, and multi-vendor failover so your team focuses on the business outcome, not the toolchain.

No. We augment them. The agent handles top-of-funnel volume (lead qualification, first-touch outreach, callback scheduling, common questions) so your humans spend their time on the conversations that actually close.
