Edesy delivers LLM-powered voice assistants that understand natural language, handle complex conversations, and work in 15+ Indian languages at Rs 6/min.

From legacy IVR to conversational AI
Exotel's voice bots use decision trees and keyword matching -- callers press buttons or say specific words. Edesy uses LLMs to understand natural speech, handle open-ended questions, and have real conversations.
Exotel's IVR menus frustrate customers with 'Press 1 for sales, Press 2 for support.' Edesy's AI understands what callers want in natural language and routes or resolves immediately.
Exotel's IVR supports Hindi and English with pre-recorded prompts. Edesy's AI converses fluently in 15+ Indian languages, understanding regional accents, code-switching, and colloquial speech.
Exotel relies on pre-recorded prompts or basic TTS. Edesy uses 100+ HD AI voices that sound natural and can say anything -- no need to record and upload audio files for every scenario.
Exotel's flows are rigid -- predefined paths for predefined inputs. Edesy's AI handles unexpected questions, provides personalized responses, and adapts the conversation based on context.
IVR systems typically resolve 15-25% of calls without human intervention. Edesy's conversational AI resolves 60-70% of calls autonomously, dramatically reducing agent load.
From IVR to conversational AI
"Our Exotel IVR had 7 menu levels. Customers hated it -- 60% hung up before reaching an agent. Edesy's AI understands what they need immediately. Our abandonment rate dropped to 15%."

"Recording IVR prompts in 4 languages was a nightmare with Exotel -- every menu change meant new recordings. Edesy's AI generates responses dynamically in any language. We haven't recorded a single prompt."
