AI does not process Phone Number correct
# support
f
@Vapi This phone call went very bad for the customer, can we please have insight as to why the AI does not process the Phone Number correctly as it was provided by the customer pretty clearly the first time. For context: customer rings looking for his sunglasses. AI is instruction to collect Phone and Name to organise a Call Back. Call id: c60dd8fc-ebc1-409a-b1fd-47d975405e51 What went wrong - At 00:27 customer provides phone number clearly but then AI did not process it properly. AI asks customer to repeat it a number of times. Then, at 01:51 after AI has asked for a Name and customer provided a Name, the AI asks to "clarify their query". What should have happened - AI collects phone number and stores in. AI collects name and stores it. It should not ask customer to repeat their query as it should already know the reason for call.

Hey Beck, I wanted to let you know that we're managing a high volume of support requests at the moment, so our response time might be a bit slower than usual. I truly appreciate your understanding and will get back to you as soon as possible!  Thanks again for your patience!
Hi, First off, we want to sincerely apologize for the delay in getting back to you. We understand how frustrating it is to wait - especially when you're counting on us - and we owe you a clear explanation of what’s been happening and how we’re addressing it. Over the past few weeks, we've seen a significant increase in support requests. While this reflects exciting growth, it has also stretched our small team and exposed some real challenges in scaling our support operations. To improve your experience, we’ve taken a step back to reassess our approach. Here’s what we’re implementing: - Smarter Support Through Automation: We’re investing in our AI support systems to help you resolve issues more efficiently. Soon, our support bot will offer expanded capabilities, making it easier to access accurate, instant help—particularly for common or repetitive queries. - Expanding the Support Team: To meet growing demand, we’re adding 2–3 new team members focused on managing support volume and improving response times. - Prioritized SLAs for High-Usage Accounts: We’re introducing service level improvements for users who are growing with us: - Accounts with usage over 1,000 minutes/month will receive prioritized support. - For all general inquiries, we’re establishing a standardized 48-hour response time. We’re confident these steps will lead to faster, more reliable support and help us better serve you as you grow with us. Also, in case you still need help with this ongoing ticket, do let us know, and we will help you get this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued patience and for being part of our journey. Warm regards, Vapi Team

@Vapi I must say support has been going down the past few months. It takes forever to hear back... I have similar issue where the AI is provided the real customer's phone number and yet makes a mistake when confirming the phone number. How do we get it to accurately confirm the phone number. I'm using Sonnet 3.7 for convos...

Hey Beck, sorry for the late response due to the weekend. Let me check with my team and get back to you with an update soon.
Hi, can you let me know if you're still facing this issue?

@Praveen Yes, we still haven't heard back from support on this. Call ID: 13107f25-c711-417c-aaaa-43bd40cf7a33 01:28: Assistant repeats phone number back correctly and customer confirms it is correct but at 01:38 apologises and repeats number back incorrect. What should have happened: Assistant should have not repeated the number back the second time because the first was correct. This recent call did not go as bad as our original one shared but is similar case. Would like to get insight on the original call as it is was a very bad call.

@Vapi Wake up guys!? you raised a bunch of money but support got worse?! How come?! I'm actively considering replacing VAPI, eventhough it's a big work for me, support is so bad and your pricing is pretty high! Get better at support! It's like startup 101 stuff?!

Hey Beck, we apologize for the delay but the call id you sent is not in our database. Could you please send another more recent one or a few so we can review the logs?
