“5 Mistakes Companies Keep Making With Voice Bots”
In this episode of the AI Voice Bot Podcast, host Dave, a seasoned voice tech expert with over 20 years in the industry, dives into the frustrating reality of AI voice bots — and why nearly 40% of users admit to yelling at them. He breaks down the five most common (and costly) mistakes companies continue to make when designing voice bot systems:
- The Chatty Cathy Bot – Long, scripted intros that test our patience. Most people check out after 8 seconds, but bots often ramble for 30 seconds or more.
- Unclear Intents – Bots often understand only 60% of natural language, forcing users to talk like robots just to be understood.
- No Fallback Plan – When bots fail, many have no system to recover gracefully. This leads to frustrated customers and long-term brand damage.
- Hiding the Human – Making it hard to reach a real person increases costs by 23% and drives repeat calls.
- Set and Forget – Bots that aren't regularly updated underperform. Companies that tune bots using real user data see a 45% improvement in call success.
Dave emphasizes that successful voice automation isn't about having the flashiest tech — it’s about designing systems that respect how humans think, feel, and communicate. He wraps up by noting that by 2025, 95% of customer interactions will involve AI, so getting this right is crucial.
