What is deterministic voice AI?
Deterministic voice AI is an AI phone agent that follows a script you write: the same questions, in the same order, with the same rules, on every call. The AI understands what the caller says, but the script decides what happens next.
Deterministic vs. LLM voice agents
- A deterministic voice agent works from a script. You set each question, the answers you expect, and where each answer goes next. Call one and call ten thousand run the same way.
- An LLM voice agent works from a prompt. A large language model decides what to say and what to do on each turn, so two callers who say the same thing can get different answers.
- Both use AI to understand the caller. The difference is who decides the next step: your script, or the model.
Why it matters on a business phone line
- Every required line gets said. If the greeting says the caller is talking to an AI and that the call is recorded, it is said on every call.
- The data comes back clean. Each answer is checked against what you expect: yes or no, a date, a number, an email, or one of your options.
- Nothing gets made up. The agent asks your questions and gives the answers you loaded, so you can check a call against the script.
- Changes are easy to test. You change one step, test it, and know exactly what changed.
How Komms does it
We call it ultra-deterministic: every Komms call runs on a script with the same questions, the same order and the same rules. Komms uses AI to understand each answer in the caller’s own words, then the script sends the call to the next step.
When a caller asks something off-script, the agent answers from the documents you loaded, then goes back to the script where it left off. It can book an appointment, take a message, or transfer the call to a person.
Komms is $0.08 a minute, billed in 6-second steps. That covers the phone call, the AI and a standard voice. The only other charge is $15 a month per phone number. You can try it free.
Questions
- What is deterministic voice AI?
- An AI phone agent that follows a script you write: the same questions, in the same order, with the same rules, on every call. The AI understands what the caller says, and the script decides what happens next.
- What is the difference between deterministic and LLM voice AI?
- A deterministic voice agent follows your script, so every call runs the same way. An LLM voice agent lets a large language model decide what to say and do on each turn, so answers can vary from call to call.
- Does deterministic voice AI still sound natural?
- Yes. The agent still understands callers in their own words and answers in a natural voice. Only the steps of the call are fixed.
- What does ultra-deterministic mean?
- It is the name KX21 uses for Komms scripts: every call runs on the same questions, the same order and the same rules, and each answer is checked against what you expect before the call moves on.
- How much does Komms cost?
- Komms is $0.08 a minute, billed in 6-second steps. That covers the phone call, the AI and a standard voice. The only other charge is $15 a month per phone number.
