Tips
- Willa always says she is an AI assistant if asked. She never pretends to be human.
Common problems
- I renamed her but she still says Willa.
- Check your custom greeting. If it says 'Willa', edit the text. Then save.
- The voice sounds different on a phone call than in the preview.
- Phone lines compress audio. Preview a couple of voices on a real call before deciding.
- Callers ask if she's a real person.
- She'll always say she's an AI assistant if asked. That can't be changed.
