Customer-facing AI agents

AI agents that talk to your customers, on the phone and on your site

A customer-facing AI agent answers your customers on the phone and on your website from one setup and one knowledge base. The Call Center Voice Agent picks up the phone line, the Chat AI Agent answers the site, and both capture the lead, qualify it against your criteria, book the meeting, and hand your team a conversation with full context.

What Your Agents Handle

  • Answer the phone on the first ring
  • Reply to website chats in seconds
  • Ask your qualifying questions every time
  • Book meetings straight into your calendar
  • Hand off to a person with the full transcript
  • Call new leads back before they cool off

What is a customer-facing AI agent?

A customer-facing AI agent is software that holds real conversations with your customers by phone or chat, using your knowledge base and instructions rather than scripts. On the Tridan AI platform it answers questions, qualifies leads, books meetings in your calendar, works inside tools such as Gmail, Jira, and Zendesk, and hands over to a person when needed.

Channels

Which channels does one agent cover?

One agent setup covers two channels. The Call Center Voice Agent answers inbound calls and runs outbound campaigns through your phone system, while the Chat AI Agent answers visitors on your website and on WhatsApp. Both use the same knowledge base, the same qualifying questions, and the same handoff rules, so customers get consistent answers wherever they reach you.

Your phone line

  • Answers inbound calls on the first ring, many at once
  • Runs outbound follow-up and reminder campaigns
  • Natural voices from ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and OpenAI
  • Telephony over Twilio with LiveKit real-time audio

Your website chat

  • Answers in the context of the page the visitor is reading
  • Type or talk, voice mode lives in the same widget
  • Pre-chat forms and in-conversation lead capture
  • One embed snippet, no development work

Agent Roles

Which jobs can the agent be configured for?

The same agent is configured for the job you need covered: a reception agent that answers and routes, inbound sales and lead qualification agents that ask your questions and book meetings, a support agent that resolves questions from your documentation, an outbound caller that follows up on leads, or an internal agent for your own team. Each role gets its own instructions, tools, and handoff rules.

Reception & Front Desk

Answers the main line and the site chat, routes the caller to the right team, and books the appointment instead of taking a message.

  • Call routing
  • Appointment booking
  • After-hours cover

Inbound Sales

Handles pricing and product questions the moment they are asked, qualifies against your criteria, and books the meeting while the interest is still there.

  • Pricing questions
  • Meeting booking
  • Instant response

Lead Qualification

Asks your qualifying questions on every inbound conversation and passes your team only the leads that actually fit.

  • Custom qualifying questions
  • Structured lead records
  • Pipeline sync

Customer Support

Resolves the repetitive questions from your own documentation and escalates everything else with a full transcript attached.

  • Answers from your docs
  • Ticket creation
  • Escalation rules

Outbound Follow-Up

Calls new leads back, chases open quotes, confirms appointments, and runs reminder campaigns from your list.

  • Lead callbacks
  • Reminder campaigns
  • Outcome logging

Internal Knowledge Assistant

Answers your own team's questions about policy, product, and process from the same knowledge base your customers reach.

  • Shared knowledge base
  • Role-based access
  • Multi-tenant workspaces

Your Own Agent

Most teams need something between two of the roles above. We configure the agent around your actual workflow, your intake questions, your booking rules, your escalation policy, and stay with you until it is handling live traffic.

  • Configured with you, not by you
  • Trained on your documents and your website
  • Connected to your calendar, inbox, and ticketing

What's Included

Every Agent Ships With This

Not add-ons, this is what an agent is on this platform.

Your Knowledge, Not the Internet's

Upload documents, crawl your website, or sync Confluence, Notion, and Zendesk. Answers are grounded in your content.

Human-Handoff Inbox

When a conversation needs a person, it lands in a shared inbox with the full transcript. The customer never repeats themselves.

Lead Capture & Qualification

Pre-chat forms and in-conversation capture collect the contact details and qualify against your criteria before the lead reaches your team.

Calendar and Inbox Actions

Connected to Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Jira, Zendesk, and WhatsApp, so the agent books and files instead of only replying.

4 Leading AI Models

OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and DeepSeek. Choose the model per agent and change your mind later.

Supervisor Orchestration

A supervisor agent can route one request across specialist agents and combine their answers into a single reply.

Early Access

Agents That Bring You the Problem Before a Customer Does

Answering well is the baseline. The next step is an agent that reads what your business already produces and tells your team what needs attention, the quote nobody chased, the caller who has phoned three times this week, the intake question that keeps losing people.

Reads What You Already Have

CRM activity, email, support tickets, call outcomes and campaign events, the systems you run today, with nothing new for your team to fill in.

Brings You What Changed

The quote nobody chased. The customer who has called three times this week. A quiet week gets a quiet report.

Shows Its Evidence

Every finding links back to the call, ticket or record it came from, so your team can check it in one click.

Proactive agent
  1. Your data
    Calls, chats, quotes, tickets
  2. Proactive agent
    Reads and compares daily
  3. Findings
    What needs attention, with evidence
  4. Your team
    Decides and acts
  5. Customers
    Hear back before they chase you
The proactive agent reads what your business already produces, flags what needs attention with evidence, your team decides, and customers hear back before they have to chase you.

Proactive agents are in early access. We onboard a limited number of companies at a time so our team can configure each one against your data sources and your definition of what is worth flagging, most go live in two to six weeks. It is not a feature you switch on in the dashboard.

Why It Matters

Why Teams Put an Agent in Front of Customers

People asking questions are people ready to buy. The only variable is whether anyone answers.

The First Real Answer Wins

People contacting you are contacting your competitors too. Whoever holds an actual conversation first usually keeps the deal.

Demand Doesn't Keep Office Hours

Calls and chats arrive at night, on weekends, and mid-holiday. The agent handles every one of them from your knowledge.

An Unanswered Call Is a Lost Lead

A conversation that gets answered can end in a booking. One that doesn't ends on someone else's phone line.

Your Team Keeps the Real Work

The agent absorbs the repetitive volume; escalations reach your people with full context in the handoff inbox.

FAQ

Common questions about customer-facing AI agents

How does the agent know about our business?

The agent works from a knowledge base built from your documents, website, price lists, and connected tools such as Confluence, Jira, or Notion, plus written instructions that define its role, tone, and limits. It looks up answers at the moment a question is asked, so updating a document updates the agent. The language model itself is never trained on your data.

What happens when the agent cannot answer?

It says so and hands the conversation to a person according to the rules you set: the voice agent transfers the call to the operator number you define, and the chat agent places the conversation in the handoff inbox with the full transcript. Your team continues from there without the customer repeating anything, and those cases feed the next round of improvements.

Can the agent book meetings and update our systems?

Yes. Through the ready-made integrations the agent books meetings in Google Calendar or Outlook, sends confirmations through Gmail, Outlook, or SMTP, creates tickets in Zendesk or Jira, and messages customers on WhatsApp. Custom API tools and MCP servers connect your own systems. Each agent only gets the actions you enable, and every action is visible in the conversation.

Which languages does the agent speak?

The agent answers in the languages your customers use. The chat and voice agents are built on large language models that handle many languages, including English, Serbian, German, and Spanish, and the voice agent uses voices from ElevenLabs, Deepgram, and OpenAI, so you can choose a natural voice for each language. Instructions and knowledge can be written in one language and answered in another.

Which AI models power the agent?

The platform uses four leading model families: OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and DeepSeek, selectable per agent, so a routing agent can use a fast model while a support agent uses a stronger one. In self-hosted deployments, open models can also run locally through Ollama. Voice agents add speech from ElevenLabs, Deepgram, or OpenAI and telephony through LiveKit and Twilio.

How do we try it before committing?

You can talk to a live demo agent on the agent widget page right now, by chat or by voice, and see how it answers, qualifies, and books. For your own use case, book a demo: we walk through how enquiries reach you today, show the agent handling a call and a chat on your scenario, and tell you honestly what fits and what does not.
