Never hang up on a person again

AMD Cop works out whether a person or a recording answered, in the first second of the call. Live prospects reach an agent, voicemail never ties up a seat, and the call audio never leaves your network.

In short

AMD Cop is DigiTalker's answering machine detection for outbound dialling. When a call connects, it works out in the first second whether a live person or a recording answered and tells your dialler what to do: people go straight to an agent, recordings are released. It runs on your own servers, so call audio never leaves your network.

AMD Cop is answering-machine detection for outbound dialling. The moment a call connects, it works out whether a live person or a recording picked up and tells your dialer what to do next. People are put straight through to an agent. Recordings are let go before they ever reach a headset. Because it reads the shape of the answer rather than guessing from a timer, the calls that used to be dropped by mistake are kept.

Released, no seat wasted

A person is connected to an agent. A recording is released, so no seat is wasted.

What it does

Keep the people, release the recordings

Live prospects are never dropped

People who answer slowly, say more than hello, or call from a noisy room are no longer mistaken for recordings and cut off. The person who was ready to talk stays on the line.

Agents stay in conversations

Recordings are let go before they ever reach a headset, so agent time is spent on real contacts rather than voicemail. Capacity rises without adding a seat.

No dead air on the line

There is no silent analysis pause played to the person who answered, the very thing that draws carrier attention and gets a number flagged.

The recording never leaves your network

The decision happens on your own servers. Call audio never crosses your network boundary, so there is nothing to send out and nothing to sub-process.

Why it stays in-house

The recording never leaves the building

Hosted detection sends every answered call, every voice and every word, to an outside vendor. For a BPO under a client data agreement, or any organisation inside GDPR, that is often where an evaluation ends. AMD Cop removes that question entirely. The classification happens on your own servers, so there is nothing to send out, nothing to declare as a sub-processor, and nothing of yours sitting in anyone else’s records.

Where it fits

Built for teams that dial at volume

Outbound contact centres

Predictive and progressive dialling campaigns where every dropped live answer is a lost lead and a hit to the abandoned-call rate.

BPOs under client data agreements

Teams handling customer calls on behalf of clients who require that recordings never leave the network they run on.

Regulated and sensitive campaigns

Financial services, healthcare, and collections programmes where data residency and a clean compliance posture are non-negotiable.

A straight word on performance

Our design targets are 99% classification accuracy and 100 ms decision latency. These are design targets, not independently measured benchmarks, and full methodology and results will be published with the first general-availability release.

AMD Cop is source-available: the source, the model weights, and the confidence behind every decision are open to inspection.

AMD Cop FAQs

How accurate is answering machine detection?

It depends on your lists, your callers and your audio, so the reliable way to know is to score a sample of your own calls by hand. AMD Cop's design targets are 99% classification accuracy and a 100 ms decision. These are design targets, not independently measured benchmarks, and full methodology and results will be published with the first general-availability release.

Why does our dialler hang up on real people?

Usually because answering machine detection has classed a live person as a recording, for example someone who answers slowly, says more than hello or calls from a noisy room. In the UK that call counts as abandoned. AMD Cop reads the shape of the answer rather than guessing from a timer, so those calls are kept.

Can answering machine detection run on our own servers?

Yes. AMD Cop makes the decision on your own servers, so call audio never crosses your network boundary and there is no outside vendor to declare as a sub-processor. Hosted detection, by contrast, sends every answered call to a third party.
