Indian language support for voice and chat

Which Indian languages does Convo360's voice bot support?

Convo360 supports AI voice calls and WhatsApp/website chat in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and Punjabi, along with English and other global languages. You choose the language and voice per AI agent, so a Chennai support line and a Lucknow sales line can run on the same platform in different languages.

Does a hindi voice bot work well for calls?

Yes. Hindi is one of the most used languages on Convo360, and it works for both inbound and outbound AI voice calls as well as WhatsApp chat. You pick a Hindi-capable voice from Sarvam, Smallest.ai, ElevenLabs or OpenAI when setting up the agent, and the AI brain (OpenAI, Claude or Gemini) replies in Hindi automatically.

Is a tamil voice bot available?

Yes, Tamil is supported for AI voice calls and chat. Set the agent's reply language to Tamil and pick a Tamil-capable voice; the assistant then answers callers and WhatsApp contacts in Tamil, useful for Tamil Nadu-based support desks, clinics or D2C brands with a Tamil-speaking customer base.

Can I build a marathi chatbot?

Yes. Marathi works for WhatsApp and website chat as well as voice calls, so a Pune or Nagpur business can run a fully Marathi-speaking assistant, or mix Marathi with English replies depending on how the customer writes in.

Does bengali, telugu, kannada, malayalam, odia and punjabi voice work?

Yes, all six are supported for AI voice calls and chat on Convo360, alongside Hindi, Tamil, Marathi and Gujarati. Every major Indian language is available per agent, so businesses in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha and Punjab can each run a bot in their own regional language.

Is english still supported alongside indian languages?

Yes. English remains available on every plan alongside the Indian languages, and you can set it as the default with a regional language as a fallback, or let the AI detect and match whichever language the customer uses first.

Voice cloning and the Indian-accent question

How does voice cloning india work on Convo360?

You upload a short sample recording of the voice you want to use, and the platform's voice provider creates a synthetic version of it that the AI agent uses to speak on calls. This is set per agent in the voice settings, and the same cloned voice can be reused for future calls without re-recording.

How much audio is needed to clone a voice?

Convo360 supports voice cloning from just 1-2 minutes of clear sample audio. A short, clean recording without background noise gives the provider enough data to generate a usable synthetic voice for your agent's calls.

Is the cloned voice used only for my own agent?

The cloned voice is created for and applied to the agent you set it up on, within your own account. You choose which of your agents use it, and it is not shared publicly or made available to other Convo360 accounts.

Can the ai speak with a natural indian accent?

The India-native voices from Sarvam, along with the Indian-language voices on Smallest.ai, ElevenLabs and OpenAI, are designed for natural pronunciation of Hindi and other Indian languages rather than a translated-English accent. Results vary by provider and voice choice, and Convo360 does not claim flawless accent replication.

What voice providers power the indian-language voices?

Sarvam (India-native, using bulbul v3), Smallest.ai, ElevenLabs and OpenAI all provide Indian-language voices on Convo360, chosen per agent. Gemini Live can also power the voice conversation itself. See Sarvam vs ElevenLabs vs OpenAI voices for how they compare.

Multilingual IVR, code-mixing and accents

Can I offer a multilingual ivr menu?

Yes. Using voice blocks in the Flow Builder, you can play a language-selection menu (for example "Press 1 for Hindi, 2 for Tamil, 3 for English") and route the caller to an agent configured in that language, or let the AI detect the caller's language from the first few words.

Does language selection happen automatically or does the caller choose?

Both approaches work on Convo360. You can build a DTMF or spoken menu where the caller picks a language, or configure the agent to detect the language the caller is speaking and reply in kind, without asking them to choose first.

Can the bot switch languages mid-conversation (hinglish/code-mixing)?

Yes, Hinglish and code-mixed sentences are handled naturally. A caller can mix Hindi and English in the same sentence, and the AI understands and replies appropriately without needing a manual language switch, which is common in everyday Indian conversation.

Is there a delay or lag when switching languages?

Switching languages does not require restarting the call or chat; the AI processes each message in whichever language it is written or spoken in. Response time depends on the AI brain and voice provider chosen for the agent rather than on the language itself.

Can regional language voice bots handle common accents within a state?

The AI transcribes and replies based on standard language models from the connected provider, which generally handle common regional accents within a state reasonably well. Convo360 does not guarantee recognition of every dialect or heavy accent, so it is worth testing your agent with real sample calls before going live.

Regional-language WhatsApp and website chat

Does a gujarati whatsapp bot reply in gujarati text?

Yes. Set the agent's language to Gujarati and it replies to WhatsApp messages in Gujarati text, in addition to handling Gujarati on voice calls. This works the same way for a website chat widget or Instagram/Facebook DM channel connected to the same agent.

Can a whatsapp chatbot also reply in regional languages generally?

Yes, every Indian language Convo360 supports for voice also works for WhatsApp, website and other chat channels, since the same AI brain and knowledge base drive both. See the WhatsApp docs for setup details.

Does gujarati and marathi work for chat as well as voice?

Yes, both languages are fully supported across chat and voice. A single agent can be set to Gujarati or Marathi for WhatsApp and web chat, and the same or a different agent can use the same language for phone calls.

Setting the language and voice on Convo360

How do I set the voice and language for my agent on Convo360?

Open the agent's settings, choose the reply language, then pick a voice from the connected provider (Sarvam, Smallest.ai, ElevenLabs or OpenAI) for that language. The AI brain (OpenAI, Claude or Gemini) generates replies in the chosen language, and the voice provider converts them to speech for calls. See the voice docs for the full setup.

Hindi mein voice bot kaise banaye?
