Features/Phone Agent
VOICE

Never miss a client call, even at 2am.

Neo answers your support line. It can identify the caller and open or update a PSA ticket. After hours it can follow separate rules, such as putting real emergencies through to on-call and ticketing everything else for the morning.

01Overview

About this feature.

The Neo Phone Agent picks up when your team can't, overnight, on weekends or when the queue is full. It can identify the caller, ask about the issue, open or update a ticket in your PSA, and transfer the call to a technician when your instructions say so. Neo Phone Agent integrates with AI ticket management for MSPs, capturing calls, notes, and actions automatically. Running Autotask? See how Autotask AI integration brings even more automation into your daily workflows.

02After hours

Different rules after hours.

Give each phone number a second set of instructions for when you're closed. Neo checks the time when a call comes in and uses the right instructions for the whole call.

Your hours, your rules.

Use your workspace working hours, or set custom hours for each number.

Holidays handled.

Each number follows its country's public holidays automatically. You can turn this off for any number.

Emergencies get through.

For example: "Transfer emergencies to the on-call line. For everything else, create a ticket and tell the caller a technician will call back the next business day."

No double logic.

Daytime and after-hours instructions are kept separate, so each one stays short and clear.

04Setup

How to set up through Neo.

STEP 1

Add a number in the dashboard

Connect your PSA, then pick the board, status, source and default company for new tickets.

STEP 2

Configure Phone Agent Call Forwarding

Set up call forwarding rules in your existing VoIP system (e.g., RingCentral, GoToConnect, Teams Phone) to forward specific calls to the Neo-provided phone number.

STEP 3

Choose a voice

Pick the voice, language, accent and speed, and play a sample before you save.

STEP 4

Write your instructions

Tell Neo how to handle calls during business hours, and when to transfer and to whom. Choose whether to save call recordings and transcripts.

STEP 5

Add after-hours instructions

Turn on after-hours instructions, set your hours and write what Neo should do when you're closed.

05Considerations

Considerations when setting up.

Knows who's calling

On ConnectWise, Autotask and Halo, Neo matches the caller ID to a contact. Otherwise it asks for a name and company and matches them against your PSA.

Warm or blind transfers

A warm transfer briefs the technician first and connects only if they accept. A blind transfer hands the call straight over.

Tickets land complete

Each ticket gets the recording and transcript if you choose to save them.

Shared context

Attach up to 10 MSP-wide memories, such as your list of direct-support customers, to use on every call.

Off without losing the number

Disable the agent to stop answering and keep the number for later.

AI Response Latency

Be aware of inherent AI processing delays (typically 100-200ms, occasionally 1-2 seconds) between the caller finishing speaking and the AI responding, which may feel less natural than human conversation.

Data Storage & Compliance

Consider data storage policies for call recordings and transcriptions, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations for client communications and data privacy.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How much does it cost?+
$300/month as an add-on to any plan, plus 1 credit per minute of call time from your plan's credits.
What happens on public holidays?+
On a number with after-hours instructions, a public holiday counts as outside business hours for the whole day, so Neo uses those instructions. A number without them uses its normal instructions every day. Each number uses its country's public holidays, and you can turn this off.
Can different numbers have different hours?+
Yes. Each number can use your workspace working hours or its own custom hours.
Does the agent know what time it is?+
It doesn't need to. Neo checks your hours when the call starts and gives the agent the matching instructions.
Which PSAs does it work with?+
Caller ID matching works on ConnectWise, Autotask and Halo. Tickets go to your connected PSA.
How does the Neo Phone Agent handle calls it cannot resolve?+
Your instructions decide. The agent can transfer the call to a technician or your on-call line, as a warm or blind transfer, or open a detailed ticket with everything it gathered so a technician can follow up.
Can we customize the AI's voice and greeting messages?+
Yes, you can customize the agent's name/persona, voice characteristics (language, accent), and define custom instructions for how the agent should handle calls for particular clients or scenarios.
How does the agent verify caller identity?+
The agent first checks if identity is already known from Caller ID lookup. If not, it asks for company name and full name, then uses fuzzy matching against your PSA data to verify. Successful verification is required before accessing or modifying existing tickets, though new tickets can be created without full verification.
What happens after a call ends?+
After the call, the system performs sentiment analysis on the transcript, automatically attaches the transcript and/or recording to relevant tickets based on your configuration, and can even create a new ticket automatically if a support request was detected but not explicitly logged during the call.
