**Businesses across Karnataka use Kannada AI voice calls to reach customers in their own language**:
hospital follow-ups, EMI reminders, real estate site-visit bookings, admission follow-ups and COD
confirmations. A multi-branch hospital we work with runs its follow-up calls in Kannada by default,
switching to English, Tamil, Telugu or Malayalam when a patient prefers. The agent speaks natural
Kannada or Kannada-English and records every answer as data. See the
[Kannada AI call agent](https://edesy.in/ai-voice-assistant/languages/kannada-call-agent).

## Sample Kannada scripts

### EMI reminder

In Kannada script:

> ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ {{name}} ಅವರೇ, ನಾನು {{company}} ಇಂದ ಆಟೋಮೇಟೆಡ್ ಕಾಲ್ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
> ನಿಮ್ಮ {{amount}} ರೂಪಾಯಿ EMI {{due_date}} ರಂದು due ಇದೆ. ಅಷ್ಟರೊಳಗೆ payment ಮಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವೇ?

In Roman script:

> Namaskara {{name}} avare, naanu {{company}} inda automated call maadtiddini.
> Nimma {{amount}} rupaayi EMI {{due_date}} ralli due ide. Ashtarolage payment maadoke aagutta?

### Hospital follow-up

> Namaskara {{name}} avare, naanu {{hospital}} inda automated call maadtiddini. Doctor avaru
> {{follow_up_date}} olage follow-up visit ge bartheeri antha heliddare. Yaava dina nimge anukoola?

### Site-visit booking

> Ee weekend site visit ge Saturday athava Sunday, yaavaga anukoola?

## Kannada, English or both?

- **Bengaluru** is highly multilingual. Start in Kannada or Kannada-English and let the agent follow the
  caller into English, Hindi, Tamil or Telugu.
- **Rest of Karnataka**: Kannada first, slower pace for older callers.
- **Use "avare"** after the name, the respectful form.
- Numbers: test how amounts and dates are read, and use Indian number words.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can an AI voice agent make calls in Kannada?

Yes. Edesy AI agents speak Kannada and a natural Kannada-English mix, understand spoken Kannada replies, and switch to English, Hindi, Tamil or Telugu when the caller does, which matters in a multilingual city like Bengaluru.

### Which Karnataka businesses use Kannada AI calls?

Hospitals and clinics for follow-ups and reminders, NBFCs and co-operative banks for EMI reminders, real estate developers for enquiry follow-up and site visits, colleges and coaching centres for admissions, and D2C brands for COD confirmation.

### Should Bengaluru calls be in Kannada or English?

Start in Kannada or a Kannada-English mix for most consumers, and let the agent switch to English, Hindi, Tamil or Telugu when the caller replies in that language. Many Bengaluru callers switch mid-call, so a bilingual setup works well.

### How much does a Kannada AI call cost?

The same as any language on Edesy: Rs 4-6 per started minute depending on your prepaid top-up, with unanswered calls free.

### How do I get Kannada names and places pronounced right?

Run 20-50 test calls, listen to the recordings, and adjust spellings of names, localities and product names in your contact file until they sound right.
