Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about setting up and running your Voicesse AI voice agent.

Getting Started

What is Voicesse?

Voicesse gives your business a dedicated AI voice agent that answers your phone calls 24/7 — in your business's name, on your own number. It can answer questions, book appointments, take messages, and (for restaurants) take orders, all in a natural-sounding voice you choose.

Do I need new hardware or a new phone number?

No new hardware. During onboarding we provision a dedicated phone number for your agent, or you can forward your existing number to it — there's nothing to install. Everything is managed from your dashboard in a browser.

How long does setup take?

Most businesses are live in under five minutes. The onboarding wizard walks you through your business info, what you want your agent to handle, your knowledge base, and your agent's voice — then it's ready to take calls.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — every new account starts with a 14-day free trial and 50 minutes of call handling. A payment method is required to start the trial, but you won't be charged unless you choose to upgrade to a paid plan.

How It Works

What can my AI agent actually do?

Depending on what you turn on: answer questions about your business, book, reschedule, or cancel appointments, take messages, and — for restaurants — take full food orders by reading back the order and total before confirming.

Does it replace my staff?

No — think of it as a receptionist that never misses a call. It's there for overflow, after-hours, and busy moments, and it can hand off to a real person when you've set up call transfer.

Can it transfer calls to a real person?

Yes — set a forwarding number in your settings, and your agent will connect the caller to a human when asked or when it can't help. If no forwarding number is set, it'll take a message and let the caller know someone will call them back shortly.

What happens if it can't help a caller?

It never pretends to know something it doesn't. If it can't answer a question or complete a request, it lets the caller know your team will follow up, and takes down what they need.

Does it sound like a real person?

Yes — Voicesse uses natural, human-sounding voice technology, and you choose which voice and personality (tone) your agent uses from your dashboard.

Customizing

Can I change what my agent says when it answers?

Yes — you can write your own greeting from the Agent settings page. Every call also opens with a short, required disclosure that it's an AI assistant and that the call may be recorded, ahead of whatever you write.

Can I give it special instructions for my business?

Yes — the Instructions section under Agent settings lets you add house rules or reminders you want your agent to keep in mind on every call, like a policy or something it should always mention.

Can I choose the voice and tone?

Yes — pick from a library of voices and a set of personality presets (Friendly & Warm, Professional & Polished, Calm & Reassuring, and more) from the Agent settings page. How many you can choose from depends on your plan.

Does my agent know my business hours and services?

Yes — whatever you enter during onboarding or in Settings (hours, services, FAQs) becomes part of what your agent knows and can answer callers with.

Languages

What languages does my agent speak?

Every agent speaks English. Growth and higher plans include Spanish automatically. Pro can add 2 more languages, and Enterprise up to 5, from your Agent settings page.

Does it really sound native in other languages?

Yes — each supported language uses its own dedicated native voice (matched to the gender of the voice you picked), not your English voice attempting a second language.

Billing & Plans

How much does Voicesse cost?

The trial is free. Starter is $49*/mo (150 minutes, English only), Growth is $99*/mo (300 minutes, includes Spanish), Pro is $199*/mo (600 minutes, up to 2 more languages). Enterprise is custom-priced for higher volume. No setup fees on any self-serve plan. *Prices shown don't include applicable taxes. Usage beyond your plan's included minutes is billed at $0.39/min.

What happens if I go over my included minutes?

On a paid plan, your agent keeps answering calls without interruption — extra minutes are billed at $0.39 each on your next invoice. We'll email you at 80% and 100% of your included minutes so you can upgrade instead if you'd rather.

What happens when my free trial ends?

Once you reach your trial's 50-minute limit or its 14-day expiration, whichever comes first, your agent pauses until you subscribe to a paid plan.

Can I change or cancel my plan anytime?

Yes — upgrade anytime from the Billing page, or manage or cancel your subscription anytime through the “Manage subscription” link, which opens your secure billing portal. Canceling takes effect at the end of your current billing period; we don't offer refunds for partial months.

Privacy & Data

Are calls recorded?

Your AI agent may record and transcribe calls, and every call opens with a spoken disclosure saying so. Depending on where you and your callers are, you may need to obtain additional consent beyond this baseline notice — see our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for details.

Is my data secure?

Yes — data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each business's data is isolated from every other business's. See our Security page for more.

Can I request my data be deleted?

Yes, anytime — email privacy@voicesse.io and we'll act on it. See our Privacy Policy for exactly what we retain and for how long.

Can I use Voicesse for healthcare, legal, or financial services?

Voicesse is a general-purpose voice agent — it isn't currently certified or configured to handle regulated data like Protected Health Information, financial data covered by GLBA, or privileged legal communications. If your business is in one of these areas, please read the Regulated and Sensitive Data section of our Terms of Service before using Voicesse for calls that could involve this kind of information.

Support

What if something isn't working right?

Check your Agent settings first — most issues (a wrong greeting, a capability that's off) are a quick fix there. If something still seems off, email support@voicesse.io with your business name and what you're seeing, and we'll help you sort it out.

Can I see what happened on my calls?

Yes — your dashboard shows call history with transcripts, summaries, and sentiment for every call your agent handles, along with any appointments or orders it took.
