How it fits together

One appliance beside your estate. Audio and recordings never leave it.

AVA Operator architecture Customer PBXs — FreePBX or vanilla Asterisk — connect over SIP to a single AVA Operator appliance running on the operator's own infrastructure. The appliance runs the AI engine, the operator console and the customer portal, and stores recordings, transcripts and call history locally. AI providers are reached directly using the operator's own API keys. The operator uses one console for all customers; each customer sees only their own calls in the portal.

Licences verify offline — if our servers are down, your phones keep answering.
Every customer is isolated: their own agents, routing, recordings and history.

Bring your own providers

Mix and match per agent. You pay providers directly at their rates — we never take a slice of a minute.
