The interface your users see and click — the website or app.

02

Backend & API

The server-side logic, security, and rules that power the app.

03

Database

Where your records, contacts, and history are stored safely.

04

AI Model

The intelligence — chat, voice, summaries, scoring, extraction.

05

Integrations

Connections to your CRM, phone system, storage, and other tools.

06

Security & Compliance

Authentication, audit logs, encryption, and access controls.
