Every business handles calls differently, and its phone system should support those differences. Vodia PBX gives businesses and service providers the flexibility to shape call flows, configure individual tenants and extensions, and build a branded experience for their customers. Queues, ring groups, schedules, forwarding, and AI agents can work together around each team’s requirements, while the REST API connects the phone system with wider business workflows.
Vodia PBX now supports xAI’s Grok, giving partners another option for building AI voice agents for their customers. Using Grok’s speech-to-speech API, a Vodia Voice Agent can greet callers, ask who they’d like to speak with and transfer them to the appropriate extension. For example, a caller can simply say they’d like to speak with sales and be connected to the sales team. The article walks through what you need to connect Vodia PBX to Grok and includes a sample call transfer script you can adapt to your own call flow.
