AI Telephone Assistant

A familiar way to get help - anytime

While chat services are increasingly popular, many people still prefer to speak rather than type. Office hours can also be limiting, particularly for those juggling work, caring responsibilities, or limited internet access.

Humley's Telephone Assistant ensures residents can:

  • Ask Council Tax questions in a natural way
  • Receive clear, accurate answers instantly
  • Get support outside normal call centre opening hours

All through a simple phone call.

Key Features

Same knowledge, different channel

The Telephone Assistant uses exactly the same Council Tax knowledge base as the Council's chat service, ensuring consistent and reliable information across both channels.

Designed for Real Conversations

Residents can speak freely, just as they would with a call handler - no need to navigate complex menus or press lots of buttons.

Available Beyond Office Hours

The service provides support when call centres are closed, helping residents get answers whenever they need them.

Reduces Pressure on Contact Centres

By handling common queries automatically, the Telephone Assistant helps staff focus on more complex or sensitive cases.

Benefits for residents and councils alike

For residents, it means...

  • Quick answers without waiting in a queue
