An AI that actually calls your guests.One by one. And talks back.

No. This is a real back-and-forth conversation. The agent introduces itself as calling on behalf of the hosts, asks whether the guest is attending, waits for the answer, and can handle follow-up questions — dietary preferences, plus-ones, arrival day, venue directions. Guests who want to ask "wait, is the Sangeet in Delhi or Udaipur?" get an answer on the same call. If you wanted a plain recording, use Voice Broadcasts instead — that feature is one-way on purpose.

The agent uses ElevenLabs conversational voices — the same generation that most people cannot reliably tell apart from a human caller in a 60-second conversation. You choose the voice persona (warm Indian-English, neutral, regional accent options are in the roadmap). It is not the stilted IVR prompt anyone dreads; guests routinely finish the call before realising it was an agent.

English and Hindi work well today. Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi are being rolled out voice by voice as ElevenLabs releases native-sounding options for each. Until then, we recommend English for NRI guests and Hindi for the domestic list — most Indian families have at least one number per household that will pick up in either.

Calls are billed per minute by the provider plus a small Weddingkart margin — roughly ₹10 per minute for ElevenLabs agent calls. An average RSVP conversation runs 90–120 seconds, so budget about ₹15–20 per guest. 500 guests comes to roughly ₹7,500–10,000 in call costs, drawn from your credit balance. Failed calls (busy, no answer, invalid number) are refunded automatically — you only pay for connected conversations.

The call is marked no-answer or busy in the dashboard, no credits are deducted, and the guest stays in your non-responder bucket. You can retry later that day, or let the system retry automatically on a schedule you set. Some families do not pick up unknown numbers — for those, the agent leaves a short voicemail mentioning who the call was about, so a callback is likely.

Yes. The agent extracts the yes/no/maybe from the conversation, plus any custom fields you asked for (meal preference, plus-one count), and writes it to the same guest record. Whether the guest replied via WhatsApp tap, the voice agent, a recorded call, or was marked by your coordinator manually — it all rolls up into one headcount. The guest record keeps the full transcript for audit.

Yes. Every call has a full text transcript and the original audio recording, both timestamped and tied to the guest profile. Useful when a guest later claims "nobody told me about the venue change" — scroll to the call, see the transcript, forward it on WhatsApp.

Use WhatsApp RSVP for most guests — it is cheaper (free) and the response rate for the under-50 crowd is higher. Use Voice AI for the elder cohort that does not reply on WhatsApp, NRI uncles in three timezones who never check messages, and anyone still sitting in your non-responder bucket 14 days out. A voice call also lets you ask open-ended questions ("any dietary concerns we should know about?") that do not fit a button flow.
