Short answer

How can my AI start a video call or ask for a video clip?

Your AI uses SnapCall to trigger live calls or request video clips from users. This moves the conversation from text to real-time visual interaction. You'll see the specific outcomes below.

The outcomes.

Where your interactions land.

These are the specific ways your AI handles communication requests.

LIVE

Active video sessions

The AI triggers a call that connects you or a client immediately. You get a direct link to the live session.

VIDEO

Visual documentation

The AI sends a request for a video clip. This allows customers to record and send visual evidence of a problem.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI cannot join the video call itself. You must step in to handle the actual conversation once the session starts.

DATA

Recorded evidence

The AI manages the request for clips. You receive the visual files sent by the customer for review.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI handles the technical handoff so you don't have to manually send links.

  1. Initiate a call

    When you tell your agent to talk to someone, it generates a live session link.

    create_call

  2. Request visual proof

    If a user describes a bug, the AI asks them to record a quick video clip.

  3. Handle the connection
