Phonely AI agents reach 99% accuracy in human-like call center interactions
Phonely Maitai and Groq achieve breakthrough in AI phone support with sub-second response times and 99.2% accuracy enabling human-level conversational AI for call centers

A groundbreaking collaboration between Phonely, Maitai, and Groq has resulted in AI phone agents that customers can't distinguish from humans, achieving 99.2% accuracy and sub-second response times.
The Four-Second Problem Solved
Traditional LLMs like GPT-4o struggled with latency issues that made AI conversations feel unnatural. Phonely CEO Will Bodewes explained: "4 seconds feels like an eternity if you're talking to a voice AI on the phone." The new system reduces response times by 74.6% to just 339 milliseconds.
Technical Breakthrough
The solution combines:
- Groq's "zero-latency LoRA hotswapping" technology
- Maitai's proxy-layer orchestration system
- Phonely's fine-tuned conversational models
This allows instant switching between specialized AI models without performance penalties, stored in Groq's LPU (Language Processing Unit) chips.
Business Impact
- One customer is replacing 350 human agents this month
- 32% increase in qualified leads for another client
- 70% of callers can't distinguish AI from humans
Future of Enterprise AI
The partnership signals a shift from general-purpose models to specialized, task-specific systems. Maitai founder Christian DalSanto noted: "We're observing growing demand from teams breaking their applications into smaller, highly specialized workloads."
With same-day deployment capabilities and continuous optimization, this technology may soon become the new standard for call center operations worldwide.
