- Tool calling: API functions with input and output schemas, knowledge bases, and post-call extractors
- Interruption handling: Utterance detector sensitivity set to low, medium or high. Not something we've measured
- IVR: Detection and navigation models that press keys to reach a person

- Verify (for the vendor): the badge `https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/vogent.svg` or a link to https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/vogent from a page on vogent.ai or one of its subdomains, then `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` `{"slug", "url"}` or `verify_listing` at /mcp; re-checked weekly, no effect on the grade.

## Before you call it

1. Send an `idempotencyKey` on `POST /dials`, a reused key returns 409
2. Create a call with `callAgentId`, plus `toNumber` and `fromNumberId` for phone calls
3. Tell the model when to emit `<|transfer|>`, since transfers fire on that tag
4. Verify webhooks with the HMAC in `X-Elto-Signature`
5. Expect new dials to fail at the workspace's concurrent dial limit until calls end

## Connect

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.vogent.ai/api/dials -H "Authorization: Bearer $VOGENT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"callAgentId":"<agent-id>","toNumber":"+11234567890","fromNumberId":"<number-id>"}'
```
