What is Tunk?

Tunk is an AI calls tool. Tunk (ANCHOR) builds voice AI agents from plain English and runs them on real phone lines, with inbound and outbound calls, a Twilio or Plivo cloud dialer, mid-call API and CRM actions, post-call scoring and real-time speech to text.

Tunk is a voice AI platform built around ANCHOR, an agent builder that turns a plain English description into a working phone agent. Instead of assembling prompts, voices and call logic by hand, you write what the agent should do, who it talks to and what a good call looks like, and ANCHOR configures the voice, prompts, knowledge and call flow. The same account covers inbound support lines, outbound sales campaigns and telephony automation, with each agent reachable through a phone number, inside an app, or over an API. The product spans more than conversation. A cloud dialer connects through Twilio or Plivo so an agent can work through a campaign list at whatever volume you run, with the queue as the main operational task. Agents can call your own endpoints mid-call to book appointments, look up records or update a CRM, then write the outcome back to Salesforce, HubSpot or Zoho. When a call ends it returns scored on sentiment, intent and outcome, so you can filter for the conversations that went badly and listen only to those. Speech to text runs across dozens of languages and accents and returns transcripts while the caller is still speaking. Underneath sit six subsystems: the call flow engine that decides what happens next, a centralized knowledge base drawn from your own documents, tools and actions for reaching into your systems, a hub that manages every assistant and number from one configuration, a workflow engine for branching and escalation, and call records that hold transcripts, costs and outcomes. Model choice is swappable between OpenAI, Azure or your own, and token caps per response keep latency and spend predictable. Tunk fits teams replacing a first-line support desk or a manual outbound dialing operation, and developers who want the whole voice stack behind an API rather than stitched together from separate vendors. It competes with voice agent platforms and standalone transcription APIs, and leans toward enterprises that need CRM write-back and campaign-level reporting, not hobby tinkering.

How do you use Tunk?

  1. 1Describe the agent in plain English
    Open the ANCHOR agent builder and write the role, the audience and what a successful call looks like. ANCHOR drafts the voice, prompts, knowledge and call flow from that description.
    Tunk — Describe the agent in plain English
  2. 2Attach knowledge and tools
    Point the agent at your own documents for answer material, then register the endpoints it should call mid-conversation, such as booking, lookup or CRM update actions.

  3. 3Test the conversation
    Try the agent live, listen for tone and pacing, and adjust the opening line, behavior and token cap per response until the call sounds right.
  4. 4Connect a number and go live
    Provision a phone number for the agent, or connect Twilio or Plivo and aim an outbound campaign at your list so the agent takes every call in the queue.
  5. 5Review scored calls
    After calls end, check the sentiment, intent and outcome score on each conversation, sort for the calls that went wrong and listen to those only.
  6. 6Trial the transcription API
    Use the speech to text playground to test real-time transcription across languages and accents before wiring it into your own application.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Agent setup is prompt-first: describe the role, tone and call goal in plain English and ANCHOR assembles voice, prompts and flowAI
  • Outbound campaigns connect through Twilio or Plivo, so a single agent can work an entire call list unattendedAI
  • Agents can call your own endpoints mid-conversation and write outcomes straight into Salesforce, HubSpot or ZohoAI
  • Every call comes back scored on sentiment, intent and outcome, which makes triage a filtering job rather than a listening jobAI
  • Real-time transcription covers dozens of languages and accents and returns text while the caller is still speakingAI

Cons

  • No pricing figures or plan tiers appear on the homepage, so buyers have to request a quote before comparing costAI
  • Voice quality, accents and latency depend on third-party providers (ElevenLabs, Deepgram, Azure, Polly, Chirp), which limits what Tunk itself can tuneAI
  • Running campaigns still requires a Twilio or Plivo account and phone number provisioning, which adds setup work before the first outbound callAI
  • Scored analytics are described but the homepage gives no detail on scoring accuracy, custom metrics or data export optionsAI
  • The feature surface is dense (six subsystems, dozens of settings), so a non-technical operator will likely need onboarding helpAI
