Residents should not queue twenty minutes to report a bin.
Residents get a reference number before the call ends. Prime Assist answers every call without a queue, raises the request in your case management system, and escalates vulnerability, safeguarding and emergencies to an officer.
- No queue at peak
- Reference number given on the call
- Vulnerability escalation by design
- Accessible and auditable
My green bin has not been collected for three weeks.
I can raise that. Can you confirm the property address and postcode?
14 Alder Road, BS7 9PL.
Thank you. Missed collection raised for 14 Alder Road, reference MC dash 40912, passed to the waste team. You will get an update within two working days.
Can an AI voice agent handle council and public sector calls?
Yes, for high-volume transactional service requests. Prime Assist answers every resident call without a queue, verifies the property or account details you require, raises the service request in your case management system, and gives the resident a reference number before the call ends. Vulnerability indicators, safeguarding concerns, homelessness presentations and emergencies are escalated to a human officer immediately under rules you define, and every call carries a full transcript for audit and FOI purposes.
The transactional calls that fill a contact centre.
Configured against your service catalogue, your verification rules and your escalation policy.
Missed collections and street issues
Raises the request against the address with a reference number given on the call.
Repairs reporting
Triages housing repairs against your priority definitions and raises the job to the right team.
Council tax and account questions
Answers the routine ones from your published information and routes anything about liability or arrears to an officer.
Appointment booking
Books officer appointments and assessments into real diaries.
Application status
Tells a resident where their application or case is up to from the status in your system.
Out-of-hours cover
Answers the night and weekend line, triaging emergencies to the on-call route.
Where it hands over. Vulnerability indicators, safeguarding concerns, homelessness presentations, domestic abuse disclosures, mental health crisis, anti-social behaviour with risk to a person, and any emergency: escalated immediately to a human officer under your rules. These calls are never resolved by the assistant.
Demand is predictable. Staffing for the peak is not affordable.
09:00
Monday morning queue
Every resident calls at once after the weekend, and the wait time becomes the story.
13:15
Repeat contact
Residents ring again because nobody told them what happened to the first request.
20:00
Out of hours
Emergencies and non-emergencies arrive on the same line, triaged by whoever is on call.
A district council contact centre, 30,000 calls a quarter.*

Model your own numbers on the calculator, or read every sector scenario side by side on the example scenarios page.
Illustrative scenario, not a customer result. Modelled on a contact centre whose volume is mostly transactional service requests and repeat contact. Figures are worked examples, not measured results.
Into the case management system, with an auditable trail.
Service requests, case notes and appointments raised in the systems your officers already work in.
Confirm your own tools before launch. Anything with an API or a Zapier connector is in scope, including the case management or CRM system you already run. All integrations
Built for healthcare first. Pointed at the contact centre queue.
Public sector procurement asks the same questions the NHS asks: who is accountable for safety, where does the data live, what happens with a vulnerable caller, and can you show the audit trail. We already answer those in writing.
Defined escalation
It knows the edge of its remit and crosses to a human instead of guessing.
Audit trail as standard
Transcript, timestamps and actions on every call. Useful when a caller disputes what was said.
Writes into your system
Not an email you re-key. The outcome lands where your team already works.
UK-built, UK or EU hosted
A UK or EU processing region, committed by contract, and it understands UK accents, postcodes and dates.
Compare against answering services, IVR and in-house reception
Questions from public sector teams.
Ask us something elseHow does it handle vulnerable residents?
Vulnerability and safeguarding triggers are defined with you and escalate immediately to a human officer. The assistant does not attempt to resolve these calls.
Is it accessible?
It is a voice channel that answers immediately without a menu tree, which helps many residents who struggle with IVR. It works alongside your other channels, and existing accessibility routes stay in place.
Where is resident data held?
In a UK or EU processing region, committed by contract, under UK GDPR and a written data processing agreement. Records are written into your own case management system.
Can it support procurement and assurance?
Yes. Prime Assist has a clinical safety case under DCB0129, signed off by our Clinical Safety Officer, and Gateway Global Ltd is registered with the ICO, registration number ZB592265. We supply a DPIA template. Ask on your demo for the documents we can share, and we will tell you plainly what is complete and what is not.
Will it replace contact centre staff?
It absorbs transactional volume so officers handle complex and vulnerable cases. That is the business case we will help you build, honestly.
Can it work out of hours only?
Yes. You can start with out-of-hours or overflow cover and extend to daytime peak when you are ready.

Three ways to test us. Only one of them involves talking to a human.
Buying voice AI on a slide deck is how people end up with something that fails on the first awkward caller. So we made the product itself the easiest thing to try, and put the commitment in your hands rather than ours.
