Before you go live
This agent records and transcribes phone calls. Consent rules differ by country and by US state, and some jurisdictions also require you to disclose that the caller is talking to an AI. Read the Acceptable Use & AI Policy and configure your announcements accordingly — the obligation sits with you as the operator of the agent.
