Set Up an AI Voice Assistant

Use ElevenLabs conversational AI to qualify callers with natural language.

The AI Voice Assistant uses ElevenLabs conversational AI to qualify callers through a natural dialogue. Instead of pressing buttons, callers have a conversation with an AI agent that asks qualifying questions and collects structured data before routing to a human agent.

Before you start

  • An ElevenLabs account with Conversational AI access.
  • An ElevenLabs API key.
  • At least one ElevenLabs conversational agent created in your ElevenLabs dashboard.
  • Your Twilio account connected in SureConnect settings.

Steps

  1. 1

    Connect ElevenLabs in Settings

    Go to Settings and find the ElevenLabs section. Enter your API Key and click Connect. SureConnect will validate the key and show your available agents.

  2. 2

    Open your campaign

    Go to Campaigns and click the campaign you want to configure.

  3. 3

    Set Call Flow Type to AI Voice Assistant

    In the Call Flow Type section, select AI Voice Assistant.

  4. 4

    Select an ElevenLabs agent

    Choose the ElevenLabs conversational agent to use for this campaign. If you have a default agent set in Settings, it will be pre-selected.

    You can use the same agent across multiple campaigns or assign different agents to different campaigns for tailored qualification scripts.

  5. 5

    Save the configuration

    Click Save. New inbound calls will now be handled by the AI Voice Assistant.

How it works during a call

  1. The caller dials the tracking number and SureConnect connects them to the AI agent via Twilio Media Streams.
  2. The AI agent greets the caller and begins the qualification conversation.
  3. During the conversation, the AI collects data fields like age, budget, state, and health status.
  4. When the conversation ends, ElevenLabs sends a webhook to SureConnect with the extracted data.
  5. SureConnect generates a qualification score based on the extracted data and routes the caller to a human agent.
SureConnect includes pre-built prompt templates for Final Expense, IUL, Mortgage Protection, and General Life Insurance. You can use these as starting points when creating your ElevenLabs agent.
ElevenLabs usage is billed separately by ElevenLabs based on your plan. SureConnect does not charge for AI Voice Assistant usage, but you are responsible for your ElevenLabs costs.
