How to Switch from Air.ai to CallSphere: Migration Guide

Why Businesses Switch from Air.ai to CallSphere

Businesses typically switch from Air.ai to CallSphere for three reasons: predictable flat pricing instead of per-minute charges, voice + chat in one unified platform, and faster deployment with no engineering required.

Migration Timeline

Most Air.ai to CallSphere migrations complete in 5-7 business days. Here is the step-by-step process:

Day 1-2: Discovery & Configuration

1. Export your data from Air.ai — call logs, contacts, and conversation flows
2. Configure CallSphere with your business knowledge base, hours, and workflows
3. Set up integrations — connect your CRM, scheduling tool, and payment processor
4. Define routing rules — how calls should be handled by type and urgency

Day 3-4: Testing & Refinement

1. Internal testing — your team calls the AI agent to verify responses
2. Edge case tuning — adjust for industry-specific scenarios
3. Integration verification — confirm data flows correctly to all connected systems
4. Escalation testing — verify human handoff works smoothly

Day 5: Number Porting & Go-Live

1. Port your phone numbers from Air.ai to CallSphere (we handle the porting process)
2. Parallel running — both systems active briefly to ensure zero downtime
3. Cutover — Air.ai deactivated, CallSphere handling 100% of traffic
4. Monitoring — CallSphere team monitors the first 48 hours post-migration

What You Keep

• All your existing phone numbers (ported seamlessly)
• Call history and analytics (exported from Air.ai)
• Customer contact data
• Business workflow logic (reconfigured in CallSphere)

What You Gain

• Voice + Chat unified — one platform for phone calls, web chat, SMS, and WhatsApp
• Flat monthly pricing — no more per-minute billing surprises
• 57+ languages — serve international customers naturally
• HIPAA compliance — available with signed BAA for healthcare businesses
• No engineering required — no-code configuration and managed deployment

Common Migration Questions

Will I lose my phone numbers? No. We port your existing numbers to CallSphere. The process takes 1-3 business days and we coordinate the timing to ensure zero downtime.

Is there a contract lock-in? No. CallSphere offers month-to-month billing with no long-term contracts required.

Can I run both platforms simultaneously? Yes. During migration, we recommend a brief parallel period where both systems are active. This ensures no calls are missed during the transition.

How long until I see ROI? Most businesses see positive ROI within the first month. The combination of flat pricing, 24/7 coverage, and zero missed calls typically pays for itself quickly.

How to Switch from Air.ai to CallSphere: Migration Guide: production view

How to Switch from Air.ai to CallSphere: Migration Guide sounds like a single decision, but in production it splits into eval design, prompt cost, and observability. This walkthrough section adds the steps a buyer (or builder) actually has to execute, not just the high-level pitch. The deeper you push toward live traffic, the more those three pull against each other — better evals catch silent failures, prompt cost limits how often you can re-run them, and weak observability hides which retries are actually saving conversations versus burning latency budget.

Buyer walkthrough

Before signing a pilot, verify five things in this order. One, vertical depth — does the provider already have an agent template for your vertical (dental, salon, MSP, real estate, behavioral health), or are they pitching a generic chatbot they'll customize? Templates that already exist mean an integrations layer that already exists.

Two, integrations — your scheduler (Athena, NexHealth, Boulevard, Square Appointments), your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce), your messaging (Twilio for SMS, AWS SES for email). If any of these are "on the roadmap," your pilot is actually a beta. Three, support model — do you get a Slack channel and a named CSM, or a help-desk ticket queue?

FAQ

What's the right way to scope the proof-of-concept? CallSphere runs 37 production agents and 90+ function tools across 115+ database tables in 6 verticals, so most workflows you'd want already have a template. For a topic like "How to Switch from Air.ai to CallSphere: Migration Guide", that means you're not starting from scratch — you're configuring an agent template that's already been hardened across thousands of conversations.

How do you handle compliance and data isolation? Day one is integration mapping (scheduler, CRM, messaging) and prompt tuning against your top 20 real call transcripts. Day two through five is shadow-mode running, where the agent transcribes and recommends but a human still answers, so you can compare side-by-side. Go-live is the moment your eval pass-rate clears your internal bar.

When does it make sense to switch from a managed model to a self-hosted one? The honest answer: it scales until your tool catalog gets stale. The agent is only as good as the integrations it can actually call, so the operational discipline is keeping schemas, webhooks, and fallback paths green. The platform handles the rest — observability, retries, multi-region routing — without your team owning the GPU layer.
