Your dialer’s built-in AMD (answering machine detection) decides if a human or a voicemail picked up. The stock version gets it wrong and drops an estimated 10–20% of live humans as voicemail. AMDY listens to the answer itself and decides in 1/8 of a second at 99% accuracy. It also flags carrier false-answers (FAS): calls the carrier bills as connected that nobody answered. Install on Vicidial, Asterisk, or FreeSWITCH in 5 minutes, or connect any dialer or platform through our API. 50,000 free detections to evaluate.
99% accuracy and 1/8-second detection-start timing are measured across ~2.3 billion answered calls on the AMDY network each month. See the data report →

Source: Stock AMD drawbacksAI answering machine detection (AMD) is software that decides, in the first second of a call, whether a human or a machine picked up. AMDY.IO runs this decision as a server-side AI classifier for ViciDial, Asterisk, and FreeSWITCH dialers. Instead of timing silence like stock Asterisk AMD, it listens to the acoustic signature of the answer and returns HUMAN, MACHINE, or NOTSURE in 1/8 of a second, at 99% accuracy measured across ~2.3 billion answered calls a month on the AMDY network. A wrong guess costs a live lead: stock AMD drops 5–15% of live humans as voicemail, and every dropped prospect is one your agents never hear. It also flags carrier false-answers (FAS), where the trunk bills you for a connect nobody answered, and honeypot lines that stock AMD cannot see. Install is one command on the dialer; agents hear only live humans, and abandon rates stay inside the FTC’s 3% cap.
The FTC caps abandoned calls at 3%. Your AMD is forcing you to 20% so it can catch machines. Pick one — keep your license, or run a real dialer. AMDY removes the trade-off.
Run your dialer at the regulator-required abandoned-call rate. Pass audits. Sleep at night.
Spotted spam-traps get flagged so you don't dial them again on your next campaign.
Your old AMD drops live humans by mistake — every dropped lead is one your agent never even hears. AMDY doesn't.
Same agents, same shift, same campaign. Just the connects your old AMD was throwing away.
No more sales pipeline leaking out the bottom because your AMD called a human a machine.
No more "you've reached the Smith residence." No dead-air. No demoralized reps.
AMDY catches dead lines and auto-dispositions — slot recycles to a real lead instead.
Carrier billing fraud is real and pervasive. So is overpaying for AMD. Both stop here.
When your carrier bills you for an "answered" call that never actually connected, AMDY catches it. Take the evidence to billing dispute and claw it back.
