AI voice agent FAQ: the questions business owners in Iraq ask most

Is an AI voice agent a real person?

No. An AI voice agent is software that answers calls in natural speech, understands what the caller wants and completes the request on the call. Spoto is a smart assistant, and it says so whenever a caller asks. It never pretends to be a person. Most callers simply care that they got a correct answer quickly.

People search for it as an AI voice agent, voice AI, an AI phone assistant or an AI receptionist. Spoto is a smart assistant from Baghdad, Iraq, that answers business calls in Iraqi Arabic, English and Kurdish, and books appointments, takes orders and opens tickets on the same call. For the full guide, read AI voice agents in Iraq; for the words used in this FAQ, see the voice AI glossary.

Which languages does it speak, and when does it work?

Spoto speaks Arabic in the caller's dialect, Iraqi first, plus English, Kurdish and more, on the same number. It answers every call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Each business has its own greeting and voice, set up by Spoto.

Why the dialect matters, and how other products compare, is in Arabic voice AI in the Iraqi dialect.

Can it answer several calls at the same time?

Yes, when your business line accepts concurrent calls. This is set up with your phone carrier during setup. Each business has its own number or numbers, and customers keep calling the number they already know. The exact number of calls at the same time depends on your line and is confirmed with Spoto during setup.

What does it know about my business, and can I change it?

Spoto knows what you tell it in the Spoto app: a business profile with eight topics (about the business, address, landmarks, parking, payment methods, policies, languages and anything else) and up to 30 common questions with your own answers, plus your live working hours, items, prices and stock. You can change any of it, and it is used on the next call.

The voice, the greeting and the way the assistant speaks are set up by Spoto, and you never need to write instructions or prompts. When a caller asks something your profile does not cover, add the answer to your common questions and Spoto gives it from then on. Requests that need a person, such as a complaint or a special order, become a ticket for your team.

Will it make mistakes with bookings or orders?

Spoto is built so the costly mistakes cannot happen. It reads free times, prices and stock from your live records on every call, so a time is never double-booked and an item is never sold beyond stock. It reads every booking and order back to the caller and confirms only after they agree.

• Bookings follow each doctor's, table's or resource's hours, appointment length, gaps and days off.
• Moving an appointment books the new time first, then cancels the old one. If the new time is taken, the original stays.
• Orders are taken only inside your order hours, with the address and notes, and the total is read back.
• Changes to an order (adding or cancelling) are allowed only while your rules permit.
• Calls that went wrong, such as a silent caller or a bad line, are marked so your team can call back.

What do I see, and can I turn it off?

You see every call, booking, order and ticket live in the Spoto app, with a notification on your phone, insights about why people call and the busiest hours, and a daily summary at 20:00. You can stop answering, or switch bookings or orders off, with one tap in the Agent tab.

When answering is off, or a plan has ended, the assistant does not pick up the call at all, and there is no "we're closed" message today. So switch answering off only when someone else is taking the calls. Walk through every screen in the Spoto app tour.

How do I get it, and what does it cost?

Contact Spoto: there is no public sign-up, and Spoto creates each business's account. Setup is three steps done together with our team: connect your number, teach Spoto your business, go live. Spoto has three plans sized by business, with prices in Iraqi dinars given directly by Spoto, by message or on a call.

There are no payments inside the app; renewal is arranged directly with Spoto. If a plan ends, the assistant stops answering calls, and the app keeps working for 30 days. After that it becomes view-only until the plan is renewed.

Is it safe for my customers' data?

Yes. Calls are not recorded. Customer data is never sold or shared, only your business and its team see your records, and names, numbers and addresses are never sent to analytics. In the app, data on the phone is encrypted, the app can be locked with fingerprint, face or PIN, and notifications never show customer details.
