AnswerBoom vs Delight AI

Delight AI offers AI-powered voice agents for businesses. So do we. The difference? When AI isn't enough, AnswerBoom has real people ready to step in. Delight AI doesn't.

AI is great — until it isn't.

Delight AI is an AI-only answering solution. Their voice agents can pick up the phone, answer basic questions, and handle straightforward interactions. For simple use cases, it works.

But what happens when a caller is frustrated and needs to talk to a real person? Or when a VIP client calls with a complex request that doesn't fit a script? Or when someone just says “I want to talk to a human”? With Delight AI, there's no one to transfer to. The caller hits a wall.

AnswerBoom starts with AI too — Olivia handles the routine calls quickly and efficiently. But when a call needs more, Julie (a real, trained receptionist) is right there. The handoff is seamless. The caller never notices. And your business never loses a lead because the AI couldn't handle something unexpected.
