AI voice outreach for international admissions

Reach every applicant in their own language. Count only what really happened.

Callalo calls your accepted and interested students with a real-time AI voice agent, follows up on WhatsApp, and records an outcome only when it is verified.

The problem

Universities pay to generate applications from distant markets, then lose many of them in follow-up.

Too many students, too few advisors

A small team cannot call thousands of open applications, so most of them never hear back.

The wrong language

A student from Kabul or Lahore is followed up in a language they are not comfortable with, and quietly drops off.

Numbers you cannot trust

Voice tools count voicemails as conversations and close students who asked for a human. Your team ends up reviewing every call by hand.

Evidence from the field

From a voice-agent campaign for accepted international students whose acceptance expired before payment, at a private university in Turkey.

13.7%
of contacted students came back and paid
24
days on average from expiry to payment, so a sequence beats a single call
57%
of call attempts went unanswered, which is why WhatsApp follows every missed call
09–11
is the best calling window, in the student's local time

Figures from a single campaign run by Callalo's founder before Callalo, shared without identifying the university. Your pilot is measured against your own control group, and those are the numbers that count.

How it works

  1. Share your list

    Accepted non-payers, new applications or open enquiries, straight from your CRM export.

  2. We call at the right hour

    The agent calls each student at the best window for their country, in their language, and answers their questions in real time.

  3. WhatsApp picks up the rest

    A missed call is followed by a WhatsApp message. A student who wants a person is handed to your advisor the same day.

  4. You see what really happened

    Every outcome is checked before it is recorded, and compared with a control group so you can see the real uplift.

Verified outcomes

No outcome is recorded unless it actually happened. That is the rule the whole platform is designed around.

Campaign · Accepted, not yet paid Illustration
  • Student AUrdu

  • Student BDari

  • Student CTurkish

  • Voicemail is not a conversation

    Carrier messages and answering machines are detected and never counted as a talk with a student.

  • Asking for a human is not a no

    A student who asks for a person is flagged for your advisor, never closed as not interested.

  • Goodbye means the call ends

    The agent hangs up when the conversation is over, instead of restarting its script.

  • Uplift, not activity

    A control group that is never called shows you what the campaign changed, not just how many minutes it used.

Languages

Tuned per language, dialect and country.

  • دری Dari
  • اردو Urdu
  • العربية Arabic

  • Русский Russian
  • English English

Every language is measured on real phone audio before it runs in a client campaign.
