The video breaks down the setup process within the trunking portal into the following key phases:

Setup Phase

Description & Features Covered

  1. Basic Setup

Naming the assistant, linking the appropriate trunking location for billing and phone system alignment, and setting the operational time zone.

  1. Voice Settings

Defining the AI’s persona (Professional, Upbeat, Casual, or Formal). Includes filtering voices by gender, previewing text-to-speech, and utilizing advanced mode for custom audio greetings.

  1. Interactivity

Adjusting the initial listening delay to account for greetings, and configuring SMS-enabled numbers to text resources to callers.

  1. Knowledge Library

Training the AI by inputting organizational details, operating hours, and custom FAQs. Supports the ingestion of unstructured data via text, PDF, and Word document uploads (e.g., tech support articles, policies).

  1. Transfer Logic

Defining natural language parameters for routing callers to internal extensions. Allows for VIP/Caller ID bypass directly to a SIP trunk, and configuring DTMF transfer permissions.

  1. Call Data & Compliance

Managing Call Detail Records (CDRs). By default, XIVEA captures a transcript, call summary, and sentiment analysis. Includes controls for disabling features for compliance and managing recordings retention.

  1. Inbound Routing

Activating the assistant by assigning and mapping specific Direct Inward Dialing (DID) numbers to the AI workflow.
