Since the new UI and pricing structure came through, support is extremely hard to contact. You're faced with an AI that cant do anything unless your request conforms to your plan type. The communi... See more

Written by the company

Plivo is a voice-first AI agent platform designed to streamline multi-channel customer engagement through various communication methods, including phone calls, chat, WhatsApp, SMS, email, and Slack. This innovative solution caters to consumer-facing businesses that aim to enhance their customer interactions by utilizing conversational AI agents. These agents are capable of initiating, answering, assisting, and completing customer conversations, delivering interactions that mimic human-like, natural-sounding dialogue across both voice and messaging channels. The platform is particularly beneficial for businesses looking for efficient customer communications without the need for extensive technical expertise. With Vibe, Plivo’s no-code AI agent builder, users can create and deploy custom voice agents simply by providing straightforward instructions in English. This user-friendly approach eliminates the need for programming skills, making it accessible to a wider range of users, from small businesses to large enterprises. The combination of built-in enterprise-grade telephony, deep partnerships with leading Text-to-Speech (TTS), Speech-to-Text (STT), and Large Language Model (LLM) providers allow companies to design production-ready low-latency (<500ms) voice AI agents at scale, with minimal operational overhead. The seamless integration with popular CRM and support tools further enhances its utility, allowing organisations to leverage existing systems and workflows. This capability is particularly valuable for companies seeking to maintain consistent customer experiences across multiple channels while ensuring that their AI agents can handle a variety of customer inquiries effectively. Plivo’s platform stands out for its vertically integrated Voice AI stack that unifies built-in telephony, speech recognition, synthesis, and reasoning layers in one low-latency system. This integration eliminates the complexity of stitching together multiple vendors, giving enterprises real-time responsiveness, carrier-grade reliability, and full control over voice quality. Combined with Plivo’s no-code Vibe builder and proven CPaaS infrastructure, businesses can move from prototype to production voice agent in minutes, not days. In addition to its AI agent capabilities, Plivo offers an enterprise-grade Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) suite. This suite includes essential tools such as SMS API, Voice API, WhatsApp API, Verify API, Number Masking, and SIP Trunking. These features provide enterprises with programmatic control over their voice and messaging infrastructure, enabling them to tailor communication strategies to their specific needs. By combining advanced AI technology with robust communication tools, Plivo equips businesses with the resources necessary to enhance customer engagement and drive operational efficiency.

Very poor to no support at all

Opened an account to integrate sms sending feature with our application;
our application is a medical one that has a feature of notifying patients of their appointments through sms.
First there were no test credits in the account. I tried purchasing 25$, the transaction was pended and they needed proof. I provided the company website, the address, and a copy of the credit card used. After days, they still needed personal ID. I provided my ID although it wasn't necessary since it's a company account and I'm just an employee. After days, the support said that they were not able to identify the ids provided, so i resent them again. After that support disappeared, nobody replies to the emails, i have opened several other tickets to reference that one, no one cares. They even closed the first ticket automatically ignoring my emails. I used another account i have to reference that account, nobody cares. That problem happened throughout Nov.8 2016 till now (Nov.25 2016), without any sign of Plivo.
Meanwhile I have used Nexmo to develop my API, and integrate the sms feature. It's a decent company, support is a little slow but at least there is an online chat that replies to urgent needs. Unlike plivo which has only email support with no one on the other side.

Poor services and taking $ without deliverying services

Various issues with the services while they claiming and lying about their services are almost 100% uptime. Ridiculous.
Only focus on taking money without delivering the services especially when SMS are not delivered they just making excuse of their carriers problems.
You will ended up paying $ for no services. careful with this dodgy one

as horrible as Twilio

I switched to Plivo from Twilio, because I was disappointed with Twilio's deliverability. However, Plivo is as bad as Twilio. In the last 2 months almost 100% of our text messages in Canada was not delivered and their support tells me that this is because the destination number was not in the available network!!! So, almost all numbers in Canada are always unavailable according to Plivo support??? I created a support request regarding this problem and contacted them multiple times, waited for 2 weeks, but it seems they don't do anything. They just take my money without sending SMS (at least not in Canada).
