Where every request lands.

Manage your fax infrastructure

Your AI acts as the interface between your chat window and your Telnyx account.

INVENTORY

View active numbers

The AI pulls a full list of your fax-enabled numbers. You get a clear view of what you have active.

CONFIG

Check app settings

Your agent retrieves specific application configurations. This helps you verify how your fax traffic is routed.

AUDIT

Verify number details

Get specific data on a single number. Your AI finds the exact configuration for any number you ask about.

HUMAN

Manual updates needed

The AI can read and list your data, but it cannot change your Telnyx settings. You still handle the actual edits in your Telnyx portal.
