Add an office background sound to AI agent calls

September 11, 2026

You can now give your AI phone agent a room to sound like it is sitting in.

What's new:

Office background sound – A toggle in the agent's Call settings plays a quiet office ambience under its voice for the whole call.

Off by default – New and existing agents start with it off, and it can be switched between calls.

No effect on understanding – The agent does not hear the ambience itself, so it never changes what it picks up from the caller.

Why this matters: An agent speaking into complete silence sounds like a recording, and callers treat it like one — they talk over it, or hang up. A little room tone behind the voice makes it sound like someone picked up a phone in an office, which is exactly what you want a caller to believe.

Find it under AI agents → open an agent → Call settings.

AI Phone Bot is available from the Professional plan onwards.
