What is Ellis AI and how does it work?
Ellis AI is an advanced voice AI agent that automatically qualifies leads and schedules appointments through natural phone conversations. Our AI uses Soom AI's Empathic Voice Interface (EVI) to understand emotional context and buying intent in real-time, making it sound completely human while scoring leads based on subconscious emotional signals.
How does Ellis AI qualify leads automatically?
Ellis AI uses our proprietary Ellis Lead Scoring (ELS) system that analyzes emotional intent, buying signals, and qualification criteria during phone conversations. The AI detects subtle emotional cues, asks qualifying questions, and scores leads from 0-100 based on their likelihood to convert, all while maintaining natural conversation flow.
What makes Ellis AI different from other voice AI solutions?
Unlike basic chatbots or simple voice assistants, Ellis AI combines emotional intelligence with advanced lead qualification. Our AI understands human psychology, detects buying signals in real-time, integrates with your CRM systems, and provides detailed analytics on lead quality. It's specifically designed for sales teams who need to pre-qualify leads at scale.
Can Ellis AI handle complex sales conversations?
Yes, Ellis AI is designed for sophisticated sales interactions. It can handle objections, answer product questions, understand context throughout long conversations, and adapt its responses based on the caller's emotional state and buying signals. The AI maintains conversation flow and builds rapport naturally.
What CRM systems does Ellis AI integrate with?
Ellis AI integrates with popular CRM platforms including HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, and Pipedrive. We also offer custom integrations for enterprise clients. The AI automatically creates contacts, logs call notes, schedules appointments, and updates lead scores directly in your CRM system.
How does the phone system integration work?
Ellis AI uses Twilio for phone infrastructure, providing you with dedicated phone numbers for your AI agent. The system handles incoming calls automatically, routes them to your AI agent, and can also make outbound calls for lead nurturing campaigns. All calls are recorded and transcribed for analysis.
What voice options are available for my AI agent?
We offer multiple natural-sounding voice options including male and female voices with different tones and personalities. You can choose from professional, friendly, or authoritative voice styles to match your brand. All voices are powered by Soom AI's advanced voice synthesis technology.
Can I customize my AI agent's personality and responses?
Absolutely. You can customize your AI agent's greeting, conversation style, qualification questions, and responses to match your brand voice and sales process. Our system allows you to set specific qualification criteria, objection handling responses, and call-to-action prompts.
How does the credit-based pricing work?
Ellis AI uses a simple credit system where each voice call costs 1 credit. Credits never expire, so you only pay for what you use with no monthly fees. We offer bulk discounts: 100 credits for $100, 250 credits for $250 (10% off), 500 credits for $450 (10% off), and 1000 credits for $850 (15% off).
