Most companies use AI only in a chat window.

That’s like hiring a receptionist and never letting them answer the phone.

Most customer conversations that matter still happen by voice: bookings, changes, complaints, “where’s my order?”

Cartesia just launched Managed Agents: describe the job in plain language and get a voice agent with its own phone number, in minutes.

It listens properly, stops when you interrupt, switches languages, takes actions and hands over to a human when it should.

The interesting part for operators: transcripts, recordings and self-graded calls, so you can manage it like a team member, not a black box.

Let your AI pick up the phone.
