Quick brief

Use AVA when the job is to stand up a self-hosted AI phone agent inside an Asterisk or FreePBX environment, then verify a real call path from dialplan to AI engine. The upstream project is concrete about the workflow: run the preflight script, launch the admin UI and AI engine with Docker Compose, configure providers, and test live call handling through the PBX.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke this instead of a hosted voice API or generic telephony product listing when the requirement is PBX-native call automation in infrastructure you control. The scope boundary is clear: AVA handles Asterisk or FreePBX backed call answering, routing, transfer, and voice-agent setup. It is not a generic voice model SDK, broad telephony platform card, or abstract conversational AI framework listing.
