Know who answered in the first second.

Answering machine detection for outbound voice AI. Proof of Human tells a live person from voicemail, IVRs and silence with 99% accuracy, and marks the beep for clean message drops.

Call connected
Classified asHuman

A real person answered. Your agent starts talking right away.

Illustrative sequence, not measured data

A large share of outbound calls reach a machine.

Without detection, your agents talk to recordings, and you pay for every second of it.

Stop wasting minutes on machines

Detection cuts the time agents spend talking to voicemail and lowers your cost per call.

Better first impressions

When a real person answers, your agent starts talking right away, with no awkward pause and no mistaken greeting. That first second decides whether the call continues.

Clean voicemail drops

Precise beep detection means messages start at the right moment instead of getting cut off halfway or recorded over the greeting.
