Digital voice agent vs. traditional IVR

Traditional menu-based IVR typically directs callers through keypad selections or predefined commands. A digital voice agent lets callers describe what they need in natural language and can support conversational responses and configured tasks.

Some modern IVR systems also include conversational AI, so capabilities can overlap. What a digital voice agent can do depends on how it is configured and which systems it connects to.
