OpenPhone AI Contact Suggestions

How does AI suggested contacts work?

Make sure your contact list is up to date – automatically. OpenPhone AI works in the background to suggest missing contacts based on your voicemails and call summary transcriptions.

Whenever a voicemail or call recording is transcribed, OpenPhone AI automatically searches through the transcript for the following information:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Company
  • Contact role

If OpenPhone AI recognizes any of these details, it’ll automatically generate a contact suggestion for you. Learn more about configuring AI suggested contacts

Note: Suggested contacts is only available for Business plan users.
