Russian companies Rostelecom and Mosenergosbyt have rolled out a smart answering-machine detection system at the power supplier’s contact center. The AI system will now analyze and process outbound calls made by human operators and voice bots.

Previously, about 40 percent of calls at Mosenergosbyt’s contact center ended in lengthy interactions with answering machines or voice assistants. Rostelecom’s predictive analytics system has now reduced that figure to a minimum.

“It identifies subscriber behavior patterns and detects answering machines and voice assistants. As a result, the share of meaningful conversations has increased severalfold, operators’ effective time on outbound calls has grown, downtime has been reduced, and overall staff productivity has improved,” said Alexander Yaresko, director of product management for the corporate and public sector segment at Rostelecom.

More Than One Function

The intelligent service does more than recognize answering machines. Its speech analytics feature converts call recordings into text and analyzes content, emotional tone, and customer intonation.

A speech recognition module powered by a large language model can monitor operator–customer conversations in real time and help refine call scripts. The service runs on the provider’s cloud-based telephony platform.
