Answers Back in Half a Second
No dead air, no beep, no waiting while a bot finishes thinking about your question.
The dead air
Silence is where callers give up.
A two-second gap tells your caller they are talking to software. Ciao answers in about half a second.
Starts before you finish
Ciao hears you as you speak, so the answer is already forming while you talk.
Talk over it freely
Interrupt and it stops, works out whether you meant it, then carries on.
Noise does not fool it
A door, a horn or a hum will not stop it halfway through a sentence.
The same speed at 3am
Volume does not slow it down. Your plan sets how many calls run at once.
What you get
One pace, start to finish.
Speed is not a demo trick here. It holds through the whole conversation.
Under half a second
A p50 under 500ms is the target the pipeline is built against.
Hears while speaking
Recognition and reply overlap instead of running one after the other.
Interruptible by design
Cut in mid-sentence and it stops, then resumes where it left off.
Same on every channel
Phone, browser and website widget answer from one published assistant.
How it runs
Choose the stack. Keep the speed.
The voice, the model and the recognizer are yours to pick, and swapping one takes a minute.
Build the speed into the setup
Preview a voice, pick a faster model, publish. Configuration, never a rebuild.
See exactly where the time went
Per-turn latency on every call, so a slow moment can be opened and read.
Connected
It works where your team already works
Results reach your systems by signed webhook, usually before the caller has put the phone down.

What every caller-facing team asks
before they put Ciao on the line.
A p50 under 500ms and a p95 under 700ms, measured from the caller finishing to the first sound coming back. That is the target the pipeline is engineered against, not a service level we guarantee.

Ask it something, then time the gap between your question and its answer.
