Who This Is For

Five reasons companies choose hybrid over full replacement

Option E is for the BPO operator who has not made a binary AI-or-human decision — and does not want to.

collections · csr_agent
"We have labor contracts that prevent full replacement."
Your collections agents are under contract. Your CSRs are under contract. Option E does not require replacing anyone. It adds AI to the categories you choose, on the timeline you choose. Contracted roles stay exactly as they are. AI deploys on the uncontracted categories first.
tech_support
"We run an internal contact center and can't justify full AI yet."
Your internal tech support team handles L1 and L2. L1 is scripted — 60% of it. L2 requires a human every time. Option E puts Maya on L1 only. Your L2 agents never touch a call that AI can resolve. The split is configured in the E1 blueprint — you define exactly which call types go where.
appointment_setter
"Our leadership is skeptical. We need to show results before expanding."
Start with your appointment setter category. 95% automatable. Easiest to prove. Clearest ROI. The 7-day voice trial gives your leadership live call data before any commitment — real deflection rates, real resolution rates, real cost comparison from your actual volume. The expansion decision sells itself.
telesales
"Our telesales team closes deals. AI doesn't close."
Correct. AI doesn't close deals. But 70% of your telesales cost is qualification — not closing. Maya handles the first 3 minutes of every outbound call: qualification questions, lead scoring, script delivery. Your human closer takes over when the lead is warm. Your closers only work hot leads. Wasted dials go to zero.
bpo_voice_inbound · bpo_voice_outbound · all text channels
"Our business runs on phone calls and we need voice AI — but not all at once."
Voice handles the phone. Text handles WhatsApp, Viber, and LINE. You decide which categories go which way. Inbound collections stay voice — outbound appointment reminders go text outbound — website chat goes text. The ramp is quarterly, not overnight. Categories that perform expand. Categories where callers consistently choose human stay human. The data drives the decision, not a contract.

How It Works

Four stages. Your pace. No forced handoff between them.

Here is how Option E deploys without disrupting your operation.

E1
Hybrid Blueprint
Free assessment. AIVA scores every category you operate. We map which roles go AI-only, human-only, hybrid, or co-pilot. Delivered as a PDF report with a 4-quarter ramp plan. No conditions — always free.
E2
Parallel Pipelines
AI deploys on the categories marked ready. Human hiring runs in parallel for the categories that stay human. Both pipelines are first-class. Maya handles AI volume. AIVA + CONNECT handles human hiring.
E3
Internal Workforce
BPO operators keep hiring internally as AI deploys — more supervisors, QA analysts, AI oversight staff. E3 is a dedicated AIVA configuration for your internal operational roles, separate from E2 agent hiring.
E4
Quarterly Ramp Review
Every 90 days: Maya-generated report on category performance. AI acceptance rates, escalation rates, resolution rates. Recommendation on which categories are ready to expand AI ratio. You decide. No new contract required to adjust.

How to Start

Start free. Add voice for 7 days. Upgrade when the data convinces you.

No commitment required at any stage. The upgrade decision is data-driven, not sales-driven.

Chat tools — no expiry, no credit card.

Maya AI on chat channels (website, WhatsApp, Viber, LINE). AIVA screening. CONNECT candidate widget. All three tools, all text channels, never expire. Voice is disabled at this tier — voice is what you upgrade for.

  • Maya AI — text channels only (WhatsApp, Viber, LINE, website chat)
  • AIVA — candidate screening, text-only assessment delivery
  • CONNECT — video profiles, direct pre-hire chat, AI score
  • Voice: disabled
  • Never expires — stays active whether you upgrade or not
Everything in Free Forever + voice enabled for 7 days.

One-time only. Cannot be re-triggered once it ends. After 7 days, voice automatically reverts to disabled. No charge. You keep all chat tools on Free Forever. The 7 days gives your leadership live call data — deflection rates, volume handled, resolution rates — enough to see the value before any invoice.

  • Voice inbound + outbound active — real calls, real volume
  • Caller Choice enabled during trial
  • 7 days from activation — one-time, cannot be re-triggered
  • Auto-reverts to Free Forever after 7 days — no charge, no action required
  • Upgrade to Tier 1 (paid voice) at any point during or after the trial

Why 7 days and not longer: 7 days of live call data — deflection rates, Caller Choice opt-in percentages, actual volume handled — is enough for a BPO manager to build an internal case for the upgrade. It is not enough to extract the value without paying. The trial is designed to create the buying case, not substitute for a paid subscription.


The Feature That Removes the Last Objection

Caller Choice — your customers who don't want to talk to AI don't have to.

This is not a disclaimer. This is a feature.

How Caller Choice Works

On every voice interaction — inbound or outbound — Maya presents the caller with a simple choice: continue with AI, or speak with a human agent. The caller decides. The BPO configures whether the choice is offered and what the default is. Most Option E clients offer the choice from day one.

Customers who want AI get instant, 24/7 service. Customers who want a human are transferred — with Maya's full call context already on the agent's screen. The human picks up knowing who is calling, what was already discussed, and what needs to be resolved. No cold handoff. No repeated questions.

Why Caller Choice Data Drives Your E4 Ramp

From the first call, Maya captures which percentage of callers chose AI and which chose human — per category. This data updates every week. Categories where AI acceptance is high get an increased AI ratio recommendation at the next E4 quarterly review. Categories where callers consistently choose human stay human. The ramp is data-driven, not guesswork. Your CFO sees the opt-in rate. Your leadership sees the trend. The expansion decision has evidence behind it.


Co-Pilot Model

AI gathers the information. Your agent answers already knowing what the call is about.

No cold handoff. No repeated questions. No hold music while your agent searches the policy manual.

How the Co-Pilot Handoff Works
Maya handles the first touch on every co-pilot call: gathers the customer's name, account number, and issue type. When the customer needs a resolution that requires a human, Maya transfers the call — with a structured summary already on the agent's screen. The agent picks up mid-conversation, not at the beginning of one.

Your agents stop spending the first three minutes of every call doing what Maya already did.
RAG Search — The Answer on the Agent's Screen
Human agents at BPOs spend 15–30% of average handle time searching for information they should already have. The customer asks about their coverage clause. The agent opens a browser. The customer waits.

With RAG search, while the agent is on the call, Maya is already searching your internal policy documents based on what the customer just asked. The answer appears on the agent's dashboard before the agent has to say "let me check." The hold button disappears.
No new infrastructure. RAG search on the co-pilot dashboard uses the same Maya API and the same pgvector corpus your AI-side categories already use. The agent dashboard calls Maya with the customer query — scoped to your document corpus. The result appears in under two seconds. Your policy documents, product specs, and coverage clauses become searchable in real time, on every call, for every agent.

Option E — Routing Configuration

You also decide exactly how calls are split between AI and your agents — not just how many.

Five routing models. Static display — choose the one that fits how you already operate. Any model can be reconfigured at any time. No new contract required.

🤖
AI-First + Caller Choice
Maya answers every call. Caller chooses AI or human at the start. Most common entry point for Option E.
📂
Category-Based
Specific call types go to AI. Other call types go straight to a human — never touch AI. Configured per category in the E1 blueprint.
🕐
Time-Based
AI covers calls outside business hours. Human agents handle the day shift. Same system, time-gated handoff. Lowest disruption.
📈
Volume Overflow
Humans take calls until the queue fills. AI handles overflow automatically when the threshold is hit. Humans are primary.
Full L1 Replacement
AI handles all scripted L1 calls. Humans receive escalations only. Highest automation ratio. Closest to Option C.

Most Option E clients start with category-based or time-based routing — it is the lowest-disruption entry point. The routing table can be reconfigured at any time. No new contract required.


Human Pipeline — No Platform Switching

The human side of Option E uses CONNECT. Everything in one widget.

The categories that stay human still need to be hired and evaluated. That happens inside CONNECT — not across five separate tools.

What a recruiter sees inside CONNECT — for every human-side candidate

45-second pre-recorded video profile — or audio-only for candidates without a camera. AI compatibility score — AIVA scores the candidate against the role before the recruiter opens the profile. Direct pre-hire message — the recruiter can message the candidate before scheduling anything. Live voice call through the widget — one click, the recruiter is on a call with the candidate, no Calendly, no Zoom, no tab switching.

Everything a recruiter needs to evaluate a human candidate — see them, hear them, score them, message them, call them — is inside one window. The recruiter never leaves the page.

Mechanism 1 — External Apply URL
Set a CONNECT-hosted application page as your apply URL on any job board. Candidate applies — lands on your branded CONNECT page — records video — submits. Media package arrives in your CONNECT dashboard. Configured once per job posting.
Mechanism 2 — Script Embed
One <script> tag on your careers page. CONNECT loads inside your site via Shadow DOM — candidate never leaves your website. For BPOs with an existing careers page who do not want any redirect.
Mechanism 3 — Screening Invite
Post normally. After applications arrive, upload contacts to CONNECT. CONNECT sends each candidate a screening invite via email, WhatsApp, or Viber. No website changes. Works with any existing application backlog.
