# Understanding AI Calls

> Learn how CommVoice AI agents make calls, analyze conversations, and deliver results.

## What is an AI Call?

An AI call is a conversation between one of your AI agents and a prospect or customer. The AI agent handles the entire conversation autonomously, from the initial greeting to the final wrap-up, using advanced conversational AI to engage in a natural, human-like dialogue.
