How many calls can an AI agent make per day?
An AI agent's daily volume is set by how many calls it runs at once and how long your calling window is, not by fatigue. On Outpero, concurrency is sold as channels: a channel is one call at a time on your number, the ₹649/month number includes 1 and each extra channel is ₹649/month, so at full use over an eight-hour window 10 channels can work through a few thousand numbers a day, depending on call length and pickup rate.
The arithmetic
Each channel works through one call attempt at a time. An attempt includes ringing, unanswered calls, short wrong-number calls and full conversations. If the average attempt takes about two minutes, one channel handles roughly 30 attempts an hour.
| Channels (calls at once) | Calling window | Avg minutes per attempt | Approx. attempts per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 8 hours | 2 | about 1,200 |
| 10 | 8 hours | 2 | about 2,400 |
| 20 | 8 hours | 2 | about 4,800 |
| 60 | 8 hours | 2 | about 14,400 |
These are ceilings, not promises. Longer conversations, a narrow calling window or a list with many retries scheduled for later will lower the daily figure. A lead qualification call that runs four minutes halves the numbers in the table.
Compared with a telecaller
A human telecaller in India costs roughly ₹15,000–₹25,000 a month, works one shift and handles one call at a time, with breaks, data entry and the occasional sick day in between. Doubling capacity means hiring and training another person. With an AI agent, doubling capacity is adding channels at ₹649/month each.
Why maximum volume is not always the right target
- —Your team must follow up on every hot lead the calls produce; 200 qualified leads in a day is a problem if three people handle them.
- —Calendar slots for site visits, demos or consultations fill up.
- —Calling a large list very fast leaves no time to fix a script problem before it repeats thousands of times.
- —Heavy dialling from one number can attract spam reports.
Instant and inbound calls need room too
Campaign volume is only part of the picture. New enquiries from forms are called within seconds as they arrive, and the AI employee also answers calls to your business number around the clock, so size your channels to leave room for fresh leads and incoming callers while a campaign runs.
Concurrency is sold as channels: a channel is one call at a time on your number, the ₹649/month number includes 1, and each extra channel is ₹649/month, for instant, bulk and inbound calls alike. Instant lead calling dials each new enquiry within 30 seconds of it arriving. Calling windows and retries are set per campaign.

Follow-up questions
Does higher concurrency cost more on Outpero?
+
Only through channels. Talk time is the same: 1,000 minutes cost the same whether they happen on 2 channels or 20, and the per-minute rate is ₹5 or ₹6.8 depending on the voice tier. Each channel beyond the first is ₹649/month, which buys speed, not a higher rate.
