AI Calling Demo: 7 tests to run on the call

An AI calling demo is a live phone call from an AI voice agent to your own number, so you can judge how it sounds and how it behaves before you decide anything. This guide explains what happens on the call, gives you 7 tests to try on the agent, and shows how to score the answers and what to ask for afterwards.

AI calling demo: the 7 tests to run on an AI voice agent during a live call
The basics

What an AI calling demo really shows you

A recording shows an agent on its best day. A demo call shows how it copes with you: your accent, your questions and your interruptions. You leave your number, we set up the call, and the AI agent rings your phone so you can talk to it as a customer would. Here is a typical stretch of a demo call:

Demo call · You as the customer · HinglishExample conversation
AI agentNamaste, main Troika ki AI agent bol rahi hoon. Aapne demo ke liye number diya tha. Kya abhi do minute baat ho sakti hai?
CallerHaan, lekin pehle batao, aap Hindi mein hi baat karoge?
AI agentJi, main Hindi mein baat kar sakti hoon, aur aap chahein toh English ya doosri bhasha mein bhi.
CallerAchha. Main clinic chalata hoon. Patients ko reminder call kar sakte ho?
AI agentJi, reminder call ek aam kaam hai. Main appointment confirm karti hoon, aur patient chahe toh time badalne ke liye note kar leti hoon.
CallerAur koi mana kar de toh?
AI agentToh main shaanti se call khatam karti hoon, aur us number ko dobara call nahi kiya jaata.

The tests

The 7 tests to run on any AI agent

Run these on every vendor, us included. They take about five minutes, and they show more than any slide deck.

1. Interrupt it mid-sentence

Try this: Cut in with a question while it is still talking.

A good agent: It stops at once, listens and answers the new question.

A weak agent: It finishes its speech and then repeats itself.

2. Change language halfway

Try this: Start in English, then move to Hindi or your regional language.

A good agent: It follows you on the same call without restarting.

A weak agent: It carries on in the first language, or asks you to call again.

3. Ask something it was not told

Try this: Ask about a detail that no script would include, such as Sunday timings.

A good agent: It says it will check and offers a callback or a person.

A weak agent: It makes up an answer with full confidence. This is the most serious failure.

4. Say "call me later"

Try this: Say you are busy and name a time, such as "evening mein call karo".

A good agent: It accepts the time, confirms it and ends the call politely.

A weak agent: It keeps selling, or ignores the time you gave.

5. Say "not interested"

Try this: Say clearly that you do not want any more calls.

A good agent: It thanks you, ends the call and treats the number as do-not-call.

A weak agent: It argues, or tries a second pitch after a clear no.

6. Ask for a person

Try this: Say "mujhe kisi insaan se baat karni hai".

A good agent: It explains the next step: a live transfer or a booked callback.

A weak agent: It pretends not to understand, or loops back to its script.

7. Give short, messy answers

Try this: Answer with "haan", "hmm" or half a sentence, with a fan or traffic behind you.

A good agent: It checks what you meant and moves on without losing the thread.

A weak agent: It treats every sound as a yes, or keeps asking you to repeat.

डेमो कॉल पर ये लाइनें बोलकर देखें

You do not need to prepare much. Read these out in any order on your demo call, in the language you and your customers actually use.

आप: एक मिनट रुकिए, पहले यह बताइए कि आप किस कंपनी से बोल रहे हैं?

आप: क्या आप मराठी में बात कर सकते हैं?

आप: क्या रविवार को कोई आपके ऑफिस आ सकता है?

आप: अभी नहीं, शाम को कॉल कीजिए।

आप: मुझे किसी इंसान से बात करनी है।

आप: मुझे दिलचस्पी नहीं है, दोबारा कॉल मत कीजिए।

After the call

Ten things to ask for after the demo

A demo shows the voice. These answers show the service behind it, so get them in writing from every vendor you compare.

  • The recording of your callIf they cannot share it, ask how your team would review real calls.
  • A transcript and a summaryYou should be able to read the call in a minute without listening to it.
  • The outcome they recordedCheck that "not interested" and "call later" were marked correctly.
  • A demo with your own scriptA general demo cannot show how the agent talks about your offer.
  • How a hot lead reaches your teamAsk for a live transfer test, and what happens if nobody picks up.
  • The full language listCheck your regional language too, not only Hindi and English.
  • How consent and DND are handledAsk for specifics on lists, opt-outs and calling hours, in plain words.
  • Who writes and changes the scriptFind out whether that is your job or theirs, and how quickly a change goes live.
  • Who reviews calls in the first monthA named person should listen to calls with you and fix what goes wrong.
  • What happens to your customer dataAsk where it is kept, who can see it and whether it stays yours.

Limits

What a demo cannot tell you

A good demo earns a test on your own list, not a long contract. Four things only show up on real calls.

How many people will answer

Pick-up depends on your list, your caller ID and the time of day. No demo can show this, so measure it in a small first campaign.

How good your list is

Recent enquiries behave very differently from an old bought list. Judge the agent on people who actually asked to hear from you.

How fast your team picks up

A live transfer only works if someone answers it. Plan who takes transferred calls in each calling window before you judge the results.

The objections your customers raise

Real callers ask things no demo script expects. Read the first week of transcripts and add the answers they needed.

Next steps

From a good demo to live calls in 4 steps

With a fully managed service, your team decides and approves while ours builds and runs. Most campaigns go live in 24 hours to 7 days.

  1. 1. Take the demo

    Run the 7 tests on your own phone, and share your score with our team if you like.

  2. 2. Hear your own script

    We write the script with you and the agent calls you again, this time talking about your business.

  3. 3. Test on a small list

    Call a slice of recent enquiries, then read the transcripts together and change what did not work.

  4. 4. Go live and keep reviewing

    The rest of the list follows, with reports and a regular look at recordings.

Getting from a good demo to live calls.
Avoid these

Demo mistakes that lead to a wrong decision

Being too polite

Fix: customers interrupt, mumble and change the subject, so you should too. A demo that only hears clean sentences proves very little.

Judging only the voice

Fix: a pleasant voice is the easy part. Give more weight to what happens when the agent does not know the answer.

Testing in the wrong language

Fix: test the language your customers speak, including the Hindi and English mix most of them use.

Letting one person decide

Fix: ask a salesperson who makes these calls every day to try it. They will find problems you would miss.

Stopping at the demo

Fix: a good call is a reason to run a small test, not a reason to sign. Real results come from your own list.

हिंदी में

एआई कॉलिंग डेमो, आसान शब्दों में

एआई कॉलिंग डेमो का मतलब है कि एआई एजेंट आपके अपने मोबाइल पर कॉल करता है और आप उससे ग्राहक की तरह बात करते हैं। आप उसे बीच में टोक सकते हैं, भाषा बदल सकते हैं और ऐसे सवाल पूछ सकते हैं जो स्क्रिप्ट में नहीं हैं।

डेमो के बाद ऊपर दिए गए सात टेस्ट के नंबर जोड़िए। अगर नतीजा अच्छा लगे, तो अपनी स्क्रिप्ट के साथ दूसरा डेमो माँगिए और फिर अपनी लिस्ट के छोटे हिस्से पर टेस्ट कीजिए। कॉल के लिए बस नीचे दिए गए फ़ॉर्म में अपना नाम और नंबर भरिए।

FAQ

AI calling demo: common questions

01

What is an AI calling demo?

It is a live call from an AI voice agent to your own phone. You talk to it as a customer would, so you can judge its voice, its speed and how it handles interruptions before you decide anything.

02

Is the AI calling demo free?

Yes, the demo call is free and there is nothing to install. Leave your name and number in the form on this page.

03

How long does the demo call take?

Most people have seen enough in a few minutes. You can end the call whenever you like, and the 7 tests on this page fit into about five minutes.

04

Can I try the demo in Hindi or a regional language?

Yes. The agent works in English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Malayalam. Tell it the language you prefer, or simply start speaking it and see whether it follows you.

05

Can the demo use my own script?

The first call uses a general demo script. For a demo about your own business, tell our team what the call should do, and we set up one using your script.

06

Can I listen to recordings instead?

Yes, there are real call recordings on our main page. They help you shortlist, but only a live call shows how the agent handles you.

07

Will the demo show a live transfer to my team?

A general demo does not know your team. A live transfer can be tested once your own script and transfer number are set up.

08

What if the agent cannot answer my question?

That is a useful result. A good agent says it will check and offers a callback or a person. Mark the test as failed if it invents an answer.

09

What happens to my number after the demo?

It is used to set up your demo call and for our team to follow up about it. See our privacy policy for the details.

10

When will the demo call come?

Calls go out inside normal calling hours, generally 9 AM to 8 PM. A request made late in the evening is handled during those hours.

11

What should I do after a good AI calling demo?

Ask for a demo with your own script, then test it on a small part of your own list. Most campaigns go live in 24 hours to 7 days after that.

The AI agent calls in English and in eight languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India: Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Malayalam.
