AI Voice Agent Infrastructure – Transform Debt Collection Efficiency

Cases

The challenge

Historically, debt recovery operations relied heavily on manual intervention:

  • Lenders shared Excel sheets containing lists of defaulters—each with details like:
    • Name, age, and contact information
    • Loan amount and EMI history
    • Document verification records
    • Default frequency and repayment history
    • Previous Promise-To-Pay (PTP) commitments
  • Collection teams manually segmented customers, reviewed histories, and assigned agents based on seniority and case complexity.

This process was:

  • Resource-intensive, requiring significant manpower
  • Prone to inconsistencies, as tone and negotiation style varied across agents
  • Slow to scale, especially during peak collection cycles

Solution

AI Voice Agents Tailored to Customer Profiles

AI Workfllow designed a multi-layered AI Voice Calling Agent system replicating the behavior of human collection agents—while adding speed, consistency, and scale.

Step 1: Intelligent Segmentation Engine

  • The system ingests raw Excel sheets in real time.
  • It automatically classifies defaulters into risk bands using rules such as:
    • Recency and frequency of defaults
    • PTP compliance scores
    • Outstanding amount brackets

This ensures each customer is routed to the right AI agent persona.

Step 2: Persona-Based AI Voice Agents

Drawing inspiration from the best-performing human agents, we developed three AI personas, each trained on:

  • Tone and voice modulation
  • Vocabulary and negotiation tactics
  • Escalation language

Persona examples:

Senior-Level AI Agent

  • Authoritative tone
  • Legal and compliance-backed messaging
  • Clear payment deadlines
  • Subtle urgency to prevent escalation

Mid-Level AI Agent

  • Firm yet empathetic tone
  • Direct call to action for payment
  • Encouragement to maintain credit health

Entry-Level AI Agent

  • Neutral, informative tone
  • Friendly reminders and payment link delivery

Step 3: Dynamic Voice Routing

When a call is triggered:

  • The AI selects the appropriate persona.
  • Conversation scripts dynamically adjust in real time based on customer responses.
  • Key tactic replicated: Requesting the customer to repeat their promise to pay (amount and date) for psychological commitment.

Step 4: Automated Payment Assistance

Post-call, the AI:

  • Sends an SMS and/or email with payment links.
  • Updates the repayment status in the CRM automatically.
  • Flags high-risk accounts for further escalation.
