Day 4: Managing AI Call Flow & Automating Customer Queries #AIVoiceBot #CallAutomation

An AI-powered call center bot must handle call flows efficiently, ensuring customers receive accurate responses, database-driven information, and seamless call automation. Today, we’ll implement call routing, automated query handling, and dynamic responses in Laravel.

📞 1. Designing an AI Call Flow for Customer Queries

A well-structured AI call flow routes customers to the right response based on their queries.

🔹 Step 1: AI detects the intent (e.g., balance inquiry, support request).
🔹 Step 2: AI retrieves relevant information from the database.
🔹 Step 3: AI generates a personalized response.
🔹 Step 4: The bot replies via Text-to-Speech (TTS).
🔹 Step 5: If needed, AI escalates the call to a human agent.

🔍 2. Implementing AI Query Detection in Laravel

We use OpenAI GPT, AWS Lex, or Google Dialogflow to analyze customer intent and determine the best response.

📌 Step 1: Process AI-Based Intent Detection

use App\Services\AIService;

public function detectIntent(Request $request)
{
    $ai = new AIService();
    $response = $ai->generateResponse($request->input('query'));

    return response()->json(['intent' => $response]);
}

🗄️ 3. Fetching Customer Data for AI-Powered Responses

Once AI detects intent, it retrieves relevant information from the database.

📌 Example: Query Customer Account Details

use App\Models\Customer;

public function getCustomerDetails($phoneNumber)
{
    $customer = Customer::where('phone', $phoneNumber)->first();

    if ($customer) {
        return "Hello {$customer->name}, your last order was {$customer->last_order}.";
    }

    return "Sorry, we couldn't find your details.";
}

🔊 4. Generating AI Responses & Converting to Speech

After retrieving data, we pass the response to TTS for voice output.

📌 Example: Integrate AI Response & TTS in Call Flow

use App\Services\AIService;
use App\Services\TextToSpeechService;

public function processCall(Request $request)
{
    $ai = new AIService();
    $query = $request->input('query');
    $response = $ai->generateResponse($query);

    $tts = new TextToSpeechService();
    $audio = $tts->synthesizeSpeech($response);

    return response()->json(['reply' => $response, 'audio_url' => $audio]);
}

🤖 5. Automating Call Transfers & Escalations

For complex cases, the AI bot can escalate calls to a human agent.

📌 Example: Check If Escalation is Needed

public function checkEscalation($query)
{
    $keywords = ['speak to an agent', 'customer support', 'problem not solved'];
    
    foreach ($keywords as $word) {
        if (stripos($query, $word) !== false) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    
    return false;
}

📡 6. AI Call Flow Execution: Step-by-Step

✅ Step 1: Customer calls and asks a question.
✅ Step 2: AI detects intent using OpenAI, AWS Lex, or Dialogflow.
✅ Step 3: AI retrieves customer data from the database.
✅ Step 4: AI generates a personalized response.
✅ Step 5: AI converts text response into speech using TTS.
✅ Step 6: AI either answers the call or transfers to a human agent.
