An AI voice agent for an inbound support line, grounded in your knowledge base
For product and service teams with a support number and a set of answers that repeat: upload the answers as a knowledge base, attach it to an agent, and route the number to it. The agent answers from what you gave it, every call is transcribed, and you pay per second of talk time from a prepaid balance.

Review transcripts, find the questions the knowledge base did not cover, and improve it.
The engine to use
gemini-live, $0.0466 per connected minute. Support calls are conversational and interruption-heavy; a realtime engine keeps the turn latency lowest. The classic engine is the cheaper choice if cost matters more than snappiness.
What it costs
Engine time for 4-minute calls on the gemini-live engine, at typical speech rates. Telephony is your own trunk at your carrier’s rate and is not included; the meter charges per second, so shorter calls cost proportionally less.
| Calls per month | Connected minutes | Engine cost per month |
|---|---|---|
| 300 | 1,200 | $55.92 |
| 1,500 | 6,000 | $280 |
| 6,000 | 24,000 | $1,118 |
Prepaid: add credit from $5 and the calls spend it. Estimate your own mix.
Frequently asked questions
- Can a Wixzel Phone agent answer questions from my own documents?
- Yes. A knowledge base is uploaded through the API and attached to the agent, which answers from it during the call.
- Can callers interrupt the agent?
- Yes. interrupt_sensitivity on the agent governs how readily it stops talking when the caller speaks. Short acknowledgements like "yes" never interrupt at any setting; they are queued and answered when the agent finishes.
- What if the agent does not know the answer?
- Give it an escalation rule in the prompt: take a message, promise a callback, or end the call with an outcome your system routes to a person. The transcript shows you which questions to add to the knowledge base.
- What does a four-minute support call cost?
- About 0.186 dollars on the gemini-live engine, or 0.347 on classic, plus your carrier's rate.
