🎙️ Voice-First CRM (AI-Powered)

What is Voice-First CRM?

Voice-First CRM lets you manage your entire business by just speaking into your Telegram bot. No typing needed! Just record a voice note and Sarathi-AI will understand what you want to do.

6 Voice Actions Available:

  • Create Lead: "Naya client Priya, phone 9876543210, health insurance chahiye"
  • Log Meeting: "Ramesh ji se mila, health insurance discuss kiya, next week follow up karna hai"
  • Update Stage: "Priya ka stage contacted pe update karo"
  • Create Reminder: "Kal shaam ko Suresh ji ko call karna hai"
  • Add Note: "Ramesh ji ne bola ki wife ke liye bhi policy chahiye"
  • General: Any other voice note — AI shows you options to create lead, log meeting, or set reminder
💡 Speak naturally in Hindi, English, or Hinglish — the AI understands all three! Perfect for field advisors on the go.
How do I use voice to create a lead?
  1. Open your Telegram CRM bot
  2. Record a voice note saying something like: "New client Mohan Kumar, phone 98765 43210, Delhi, health insurance chahiye, budget 500 per month"
  3. AI extracts all details automatically — name, phone, city, need, budget, follow-up date
  4. You see a confirmation card — tap ✅ Create Lead or ✏️ Fill Missing to add any details the AI couldn't catch
💡 You can also say dates and times naturally: "kal follow up 4 baje", "agle hafte subah 10 baje", "next Monday at 3 PM" — AI understands dates AND times!
How does voice meeting logging work?

After a client meeting, just record a voice note:

"Aaj Sharma ji se mila unke office mein, term plan discuss kiya 1 crore ka, interested hain, agle Tuesday ko follow up karna hai"

Sarathi-AI will automatically:

  • Find "Sharma ji" in your lead database (fuzzy matching)
  • Log the meeting with a summary
  • Set a follow-up reminder for Tuesday
What happens if voice doesn't work well on slow network?

Sarathi-AI is built for Indian networks! It automatically:

  • Shows "Processing... might take a few seconds" so you know it's working
  • Retries automatically if network drops — up to 2 retries
  • Keeps you updated: "Network hiccup! Retrying..."
💡 Voice notes work even on 2G-level connectivity. Just speak clearly and wait for the response.

  • 🔄 Smart Nudges: Morning agenda, afternoon reminders, and evening missed follow-up alerts — delivered to your Telegram
