Your agent identifies the target number and selects a virtual number from your account to place the call. You get immediate execution of phone outreach through simple chat commands. Here is how the process works.

Outcomes of automated dialing

What happens when your agent takes action.

AUTOMATION

Direct phone outreach

The AI picks a number and dials the recipient immediately. You skip the manual dialing process entirely.

INVENTORY

Number management

Your agent checks your available virtual numbers to find a match. It ensures the call comes from a number you actually own.

LOGS

Call execution

The agent handles the technical handshake to start the call. You receive confirmation that the connection was attempted.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a number is invalid or a call fails, the AI flags it for you. You decide how to handle failed connections or complex follow-ups.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent handles the technical steps of selecting a number and initiating the connection.

  1. Identify available numbers

    The agent looks through your current Callpicker account to see which virtual numbers you have ready to use.

    list_virtual_numbers

  2. Select a caller ID

    The agent picks a suitable number from your list to act as the outbound caller ID.

    list_virtual_numbers

  3. Initiate the call

    The agent sends the command to dial the specific phone number you provided.

    make_call

  4. Confirm connection

    The agent verifies that the call instruction was sent successfully to the telephony provider.
