v246 Make voicebots great again 🤖

“If we all reacted the same way, we’d be predictable, and there’s always more than one way to view a situation.” - The Major, Ghost in the Shell 🤖
SentiOne Automate version 246 was released on 30.01.2025. In this release, our focus was on adding new options to the Voice Channel Connector.


New voice channel options

The new release of Autoamte allows you to not only define if the user can interrupt when the bot is speaking, but also define which conditions should be met for effective interruption so that the bot works smoothly. We have also added more options on how long the bot listens to the user or when should the bot say something if the user is not saying anything for a longer period of time.

You can read more about configuring the how bot is integrated with your phone number or contact center in the dedicated article - Voice Channel options
