Zero Lifestyle — AI Customer Support Calling Agent — client logo

Conversational AI that speaks your customer's language

Zero Lifestyle deployed a voice-native AI support agent powered by LiveKit, Groq Whisper, and Gemini LLM. The agent handles the full lifecycle of a customer call — greeting, product discovery, order tracking, warranty lookup, and call resolution — entirely through natural Urdu speech. With a custom Microsoft Edge TTS adapter delivering neural-quality Pakistani Urdu, the system bridges the gap between e-commerce scale and human-quality phone support.

THE CHALLENGE

Call volume was scaling faster than the team

Zero Lifestyle, Pakistan's fastest-growing tech accessories brand with over 1,000,000 customers, was facing an unsustainable surge in inbound support calls. Customers calling to check order status, ask about product features, or inquire about delivery timelines were overwhelming a small human support team. Each call required the agent to manually search a fragmented knowledge base of product specs, shipping policies, and return rules — leading to long hold times, inconsistent answers, and missed upsell opportunities. With a catalog of 20+ smartwatch, earbud, and headphone SKUs — each with unique pricing, features, and stock status — even well-trained agents struggled to keep response times under two minutes.

THE SOLUTION

A real-time AI voice pipeline purpose-built for Pakistani support

Neura Agency architected a fully serverless voice agent using LiveKit's real-time infrastructure. The pipeline chains together Groq Whisper (speech-to-text with Urdu support), Google Gemini 2.0 Flash with OpenRouter fallback (LLM reasoning and tool calling), and custom Microsoft Edge TTS (text-to-speech with the ur-PK-UzmaNeural voice). A Silero VAD model handles natural turn-taking — no push-to-talk required. The agent was equipped with a suite of function tools: product search and detail lookup across 20+ SKUs, order status queries, warranty and returns policy retrieval, and FAQ resolution. The entire stack — from browser WebRTC frontend (Next.js 15) to SIP telephony bridge (FreeSWITCH) — was designed for sub-5-second response times and 99.9% call reliability

Core Capabilities

Real-Time Urdu Voice Conversation

End-to-end voice pipeline with Groq Whisper STT, Gemini LLM reasoning, and Microsoft Edge Urdu neural TTS. Natural turn-taking via Silero VAD with sub-second latency.

Product Catalog & Intelligent Search

Customers can ask about any product by name, category, or feature. The agent searches a 20+ SKU catalog, returns pricing with discount percentages, key specs, review counts, and stock status — all in natural Urdu speech.

Order Tracking & Status Lookup

Instant order status retrieval by order ID or courier tracking number. The agent validates the ID, fetches the current location, courier, warehouse status, and estimated delivery date without human intervention.

Multi-Channel Voice Support

Dual connectivity path: browser-based WebRTC calls via the Zero Lifestyle website and traditional PSTN phone calls routed through FreeSWITCH and LiveKit SIP — providing universal customer access.

Intelligent Call Management

Context-aware human agent transfer, automatic end-of-call detection, and comprehensive per-session metrics collection (STT latency, LLM tokens, TTS duration) for continuous performance monitoring.

Policy & FAQ Automation

Dynamic retrieval of warranty terms, replacement policy, shipping timelines, payment methods, and frequently asked questions — eliminating manual lookup and ensuring consistent, accurate answers every call.
