Steps 1-5: Assessment and Foundation

Step 1: Pull your phone system data for the last 30 days. How many calls came in? How many were answered?

Step 8: Configure call routing — business hours flow, after-hours AI coverage, emergency escalation. Step 9: Conduct test calls in the scenarios most common to your business. Step 10: Go live, monitor your analytics dashboard for the first 30 days, and update your knowledge base based on calls the AI had difficulty with.
