Vodia PBX now integrates Google Gemini with JavaScript IVR and Voice Agents, enabling real-time, AI-driven call handling and intelligent routing. By combining Gemini’s multimodal large language models with Vodia’s programmable IVR framework, organizations can build voice agents that stream audio in real time, make routing decisions through function calls, and handle both basic and attended transfers with AI-assisted screening. This integration allows businesses to automate call flows, reduce hold times, and improve productivity using conversational AI that works directly inside the PBX.
In 2026, a modern phone system must go well beyond basic calling. Core requirements now include built-in AI for smarter call handling and transcription, real-time analytics dashboards for visibility and control, flexible auto attendants to route calls efficiently, seamless Microsoft Teams integration, and robust mobile apps that support hybrid and remote work. Clear separation between business and personal calls protects work-life balance, while reliable white-glove support ensures these capabilities work smoothly in real-world environments as communication needs evolve.
Legacy phone systems may still work, but they often come with hidden costs, limited scalability, and little support for hybrid work. Aging hardware, ongoing maintenance, and rigid infrastructure can quietly hold businesses back as they grow. Cloud-based VoIP systems remove these constraints by reducing telephony expenses, improving flexibility, and enabling teams to communicate seamlessly from anywhere. For many organizations, modernizing business telephony is no longer optional, it is a practical step toward efficiency and resilience.
