A dialler with an AI bolted on is still a dialler
Traditional call-centre software is built around the agent seat and the queue. It is very good at that. What it tends not to have is the other half of a customer relationship — the WhatsApp thread, the Instagram DM, the email — and an AI agent that can finish a call rather than route it.

When the other option is the right one
If you run a hundred-seat contact centre with workforce management and compliance recording requirements, buy call-centre software. Convarza AI is for teams between one and sixty people who need the calls and the chats to be the same system.
The whole platform, on every plan
Shared inbox
WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, Telegram, Viber, LINE, your web widget, SMS and email land in a single queue your team actually works from.
AI chatbot
One bot answers WhatsApp, Instagram, your web widget, SMS and email — and hands the conversation to a person the moment your condition says it should.
AI voice agents
An AI agent answers your line in natural speech, follows your prompt, calls your functions, and hands to a human the moment it should.
Call flows
Ring agents, hand to an AI agent, branch on a condition, run an IVR menu, check business hours, take voicemail — as one flow you can read.
Campaigns
Pick a line, pick who answers, describe the follow-up sequence in plain English, and let it work the list inside your calling hours.
Workflows
When this happens · only if · then, in order. Numbered steps, an owner who is told when it fails, and a Live toggle. No formula builder.
