Vanilla Cloud Plus voice agents are built for your sector, trained on your business and fully managed by our team. They’re separate from the AI agents built into 3CX. Here’s what they do, and the features that work alongside them.
Nine ready-made agents for salons, workshops, clinics, trades, hospitality, offices, schools, law firms and GP surgeries. Each one is trained on your business and answers on your existing number.
Calls are transcribed, summarised and scored for sentiment. You can see how customers feel, what they asked for and what needs doing next, without listening back.

Callers can ask for a callback instead of waiting, hear their estimated wait time, and get routed to the person with the right skills. Live wallboards show your team how things are going.
Pro voice agents include threat assessment to help flag suspicious calls. Spam filtering, call recording permissions and built-in failover on the 3CX AI edition help keep your business protected and online.
