AI voice agents for gold-loan lenders

Yes. Outpero's AI voice agent handles gold-loan lenders calls end to end — calling every gold-loan enquiry within 30 seconds to book a branch visit, and reminding borrowers before interest and tenure dates. It works 24 hours a day in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam and English, switching to English the moment the caller does.

For gold-loan lenders, an Outpero AI employee will call new enquiries from Google, Meta and your website within 30 seconds and capture approximate gold weight and amount needed; book the visit at the nearest branch and send the address and document list on WhatsApp; run interest-due and tenure-end reminder campaigns well before any auction process begins; run renewal and top-up campaigns when gold prices rise, inviting borrowers to visit the branch. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised automatically.

Outpero has no setup fee and no monthly base fee — you pay only for connected talk time, from ₹5 per minute (1 credit = ₹1, credits never expire), plus ₹649/month for a dedicated calling number. A full-time telecaller doing the same job costs around ₹18,000 a month, works one shift and handles one call at a time. Prices exclude 18% GST.

Under 30 seconds from the enquiry landing. That matters here because gold-loan customers usually want cash the same day, so an enquiry from a Google search or Meta ad converts only if someone calls while the need is urgent. After disbursal the risk shifts: borrowers forget interest due dates or tenure end, loans drift towards auction, and a customer who would happily renew ends up losing jewellery or moving to another lender. Branch staff are busy appraising gold at the counter.

Only as an indication, and only with your figures. Loan-to-value limits are set by RBI and your own policy, and the final amount depends on assaying the gold at the branch. The agent can state the per-gram rate you publish that day, read live from a sheet, and say clearly that the branch confirms the amount after appraisal. It never promises a sanctioned figure on the phone.

Before any auction, RBI rules and your fair practices code require formal prior notice to the borrower, and that goes through your normal process. The agent's role is earlier and softer: reminding borrowers that interest is due or tenure is ending, explaining renewal and closure options, and booking a branch visit. Calls stay within 8am to 7pm, never threaten, and confirm identity before mentioning the loan.

The customer's name, approximate gold weight, amount needed, purpose if shared, nearest branch, preferred visit time and whether a visit was booked, plus recording, transcript and summary. Reminder calls add the promise-to-pay date or renewal intent. All of it is in the dashboard and at your webhook, so branch managers start each morning knowing who is coming in and why.

It is a common and legitimate offer, provided it is framed as information rather than pressure. The agent tells existing borrowers that the value of their pledged gold has risen, that a top-up or renewal may be available subject to appraisal and policy, and asks whether they would like to visit. Borrowers who decline are marked and not called again in that campaign.
