HVAC voice agent mistakenly configured with dental keywords

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A bug in a voice agent for an HVAC company revealed that it was inadvertently configured with dental keywords and analysis fields, likely due to a cloning error from a dental agent. While the agent's prompt was correctly set for HVAC services, the underlying configuration still contained terms like "Invisalign" and fields assessing "legitimate dental appointment need." These hidden misconfigurations could have biased speech-to-text transcription and led to inaccurate post-call analysis, even though conversational testing might not have immediately revealed the issue.
