AI that helps telecom support teams answer billing, outage, porting and device questions faster — live guidance for agents, and self-service that knows when to hand over to a person.

TRUSTED BY TEAMS
Telecom support runs on a handful of repeat questions: why the bill went up, whether there is an outage, how to change a plan, why the connection is slow, and how to port a number.
Sodio builds AI customer service for telecom operators, ISPs and MVNOs that answers them from the systems that actually hold the answers — billing, network status, provisioning and CRM — with real-time agent assist for the people on the phones and self-service that hands over cleanly when it should.
/// BUILD, OR USE YOUR PLATFORM'S AI?
When Your Contact Centre Platform’s AI Is Enough
Genesys, NICE, Five9, Amazon Connect and Google all offer agent assist and self-service. If theirs can see what your customers ask about, use it.
The platform's AI is enough when
- Most questions can be answered from a knowledge base
- Your support flows are generic
- You serve one language well
- Support is a cost to manage
Build telecom-specific AI when
- The answers live in billing, network and provisioning systems the platform cannot reach
- You need telecom flows — outages, porting, SIM changes — done properly
- Your customers speak several languages, or mix them
- Support is part of your product, as for a CPaaS provider or MVNO

/// WHERE THE ANSWERS LIVE
Where the Answers Live
A telecom chatbot that is not connected to your systems can only apologise and pass the customer on. Every common question has an answer sitting in a specific system.
///WHAT IT MUST GET RIGHT
Two Things Telecom Support AI Must Get Right
Knowing about the outage first
When a network fault hits, contact volumes spike within minutes. An assistant connected to network monitoring tells affected customers straight away — before they queue, and before an agent spends ten minutes troubleshooting a line that is not the problem.
Refusing to be socially engineered
Attackers call contact centres pretending to be customers, to take over accounts and numbers. SIM swaps, port-outs and account changes are flagged as high risk and require stronger verification before anything changes.

The AI never approves a SIM swap or a port-out on its own. Those decisions always go through verification and a person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Agent assist is AI that supports a human agent during a live call or chat — listening to the conversation, surfacing the right answer or next step, pulling up the customer's account and writing the notes afterwards. The agent stays in the conversation; the AI removes the searching and the typing.
Only if it is built to deflect rather than to help. A telecom assistant that can see the customer's bill, their plan and any outage at their address can resolve many requests outright. When it cannot, it hands over to a person with the conversation so far, so the customer never repeats themselves. Success is measured by resolution and satisfaction, not by how many calls were avoided.
Yes, if it is connected to the billing system. It compares the current bill with the previous one and explains each change — a promotion ending, extra usage, a roaming charge, a mid-cycle plan change — in plain language, to the agent or directly to the customer.
Contact centres are a common route for SIM swap and port-out fraud, because attackers impersonate customers to agents. The system flags these requests as high risk, requires stronger verification before they proceed, and never approves a SIM swap or port-out on its own. The final decision always rests with a verified process and a person.
Usually. It can sit alongside platforms such as Genesys, NICE, Five9, Amazon Connect and Twilio Flex, adding telecom-specific context and workflows that the platform's own AI cannot reach because it is not connected to your billing, network and provisioning systems.
