Government Phone Lines Are Broken by Design
Government agencies are the final boss of phone calls. The IRS average hold time is 28 minutes — and that is after the automated system works. The DMV can take over an hour. Social Security offices are so backed up that many callers are told to call back another day entirely.
These are not optional calls. You need the DMV for your license. You need the IRS for tax questions. You need Social Security for benefits. And unlike a private company where you might find an online alternative, government services often require speaking with an agent for anything beyond the most basic inquiry.
The worst part? You cannot predict how long the wait will be. You might get through in 10 minutes or 90 minutes. So you sit there, phone pressed to your ear, unable to do anything productive, listening to the same 30-second hold music loop for what feels like an eternity.
How KallyAI Handles Government Calls
Tell KallyAI What You Need
Describe which agency to call, what question you need answered or action you need taken, and any reference numbers or identification details required.
KallyAI Navigates the System
KallyAI calls the agency, navigates the automated phone tree (often 5-10 menu levels deep), and enters the hold queue.
Waits on Hold — However Long It Takes
Whether it takes 10 minutes or 90 minutes, KallyAI holds the line. You do not have to listen to a single second of hold music.
Gets Answers and Reports Back
When an agent answers, KallyAI asks your questions, gets the information you need, and delivers a detailed summary of the conversation and any next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can KallyAI verify my identity with government agencies?
KallyAI can provide basic verification details you include in your request (last 4 SSN, filing status, date of birth). Some agencies may require the caller to be the account holder for certain actions, in which case KallyAI will report this back to you.
Which government agencies can KallyAI call?
KallyAI can call any US government agency with a phone number: IRS, DMV (state-specific), Social Security Administration, Medicare, VA, city and county offices, courts, and more.
What if the hold time is very long?
KallyAI will wait as long as necessary. Government calls with very long hold times (60+ minutes) use more credits, but you are never charged for silence — only for the active parts of the conversation.
Can KallyAI handle DMV appointments?
Yes. KallyAI can call your state DMV to schedule appointments, check requirements for license renewals or REAL ID, and ask about documents you need to bring.
