Most work isn't just a phone call. Or just an email. It's a chain of actions across different channels, and you're the one stitching them together.
Need to find a new accountant? That means researching options, calling three firms, comparing pricing, emailing the best one to schedule a meeting, and confirming the appointment. Five steps, three channels, one afternoon.
Need to set up a new office? That means calling the internet provider, emailing the landlord about the move-in date, researching furniture vendors, calling for delivery quotes, and coordinating timelines. You become the project manager of your own errands.
The common thread: real-world tasks span phone calls, emails, and research. Handling them means switching between tools, tracking conversations, and following up on everything manually.
The multi-channel problem
Every multi-step task follows the same pattern: you start with one action, and it cascades into a chain across different channels. A phone call leads to an email. An email leads to another call. A research query leads to three calls and a comparison spreadsheet.
The time cost isn't just the individual tasks—it's the coordination between them. You're copying information from one tool to another, mentally tracking which vendor said what, and following up when someone doesn't respond. You're the glue holding the workflow together.
Why single-channel tools aren't enough
There's no shortage of AI tools. The problem is they each do one thing:
- Scheduling tools manage your calendar but can't make a phone call.
- Email tools sort your inbox but can't call a vendor for a quote.
- Phone AI makes calls but can't send the follow-up email.
- Research tools find information online but can't verify it with a phone call.
So you end up being the coordinator. The AI does a piece of the work, and you do the rest—copying information between tools, sending the emails the phone AI can't send, making the calls the email AI can't make.
That's not delegation. That's delegation with extra steps.
How multi-channel AI works in practice
KallyAI handles the full workflow. Here's what happens when you assign a multi-channel task:
- You describe the task. "Get quotes from three plumbing companies for a bathroom renovation. I need pricing, timeline, and availability for March."
- AI creates a plan. The plan shows: call Company A, B, and C. Ask about pricing, timeline, and March availability. Compile results. Email you the comparison.
- You approve. One tap to greenlight the entire workflow.
- AI executes across channels. Calls happen. If a company asks for details via email, the AI handles that too. Results get compiled and sent to you.
- You get proof. Full transcripts for every call. Copies of every email. A summary comparing all three vendors.
No switching between apps. No copy-pasting between tools. No remembering who said what.
One task. Every channel. Done.
KallyAI handles phone calls, emails, and research in one workflow. Describe the task, approve the plan, and get results with full proof.

Example 1: Vendor comparison
Task: "Get catering quotes from three restaurants for a 50-person team lunch on March 15."
What AI does:
- Calls Restaurant A, B, and C
- Asks about menu options, per-person pricing, dietary accommodation, and delivery fees
- Sends follow-up emails if any restaurant needs more details
- Compiles a comparison with pricing, menus, and availability
- Sends you the full comparison with transcripts
Example 2: Appointment coordination
Task: "Schedule a dental cleaning for me next week. I'm available Tuesday or Thursday afternoon."
What AI does:
- Calls your dentist's office
- Checks Tuesday and Thursday afternoon availability
- Books the best slot
- Emails you the confirmation with date, time, and address
Example 3: Service setup
Task: "Set up internet at my new office at 123 Main St. Compare Comcast and AT&T business plans."
What AI does:
- Calls Comcast business and AT&T business
- Asks about plans, pricing, installation timeline, and contract terms
- Compiles a side-by-side comparison
- Sends you the results to make the final decision
Comparison: Single-channel vs. multi-channel AI
| Single-channel tools | KallyAI (multi-channel) | |
|---|---|---|
| Phone calls | Separate app | Included |
| Email follow-ups | You do it manually | AI handles it |
| Research compilation | You build the spreadsheet | AI compiles results |
| Coordination between steps | You manage it | AI manages it |
| Number of tools needed | 2–4 | 1 |
| Time per multi-step task | 1–3 hours | 5 minutes to describe + review |
| Proof of work | Scattered across apps | Transcripts + emails in one place |
| Starting price | $30–100/month (combined) | $9/month |
When multi-channel matters most
Multi-channel AI saves the most time when your tasks involve:
- Multiple vendors or providers. Any time you need to compare options across 3+ businesses.
- Follow-up chains. Tasks where one call leads to an email, which leads to another call.
- Coordination across parties. Scheduling that requires checking availability with multiple people.
- Research that requires verification. Finding options online, then calling to confirm details.
- Time-sensitive logistics. Moving, event planning, office setup—where many calls happen in a short window.
If your to-do list has tasks that span more than one communication channel, a multi-channel AI assistant will save you the most time.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from having a virtual assistant?
A human virtual assistant can do all of this, but costs $25–60/hour. KallyAI starts at $9/month for the same multi-channel capability on routine tasks. For complex judgment calls, a human assistant is still the better choice.
Can AI handle tasks that require both calling and emailing?
Yes. That's exactly what multi-channel means. KallyAI handles phone calls, follow-up emails, and research as part of a single task. You don't need to coordinate between separate tools.
What if a vendor asks AI to email them more details?
KallyAI handles that within the workflow. If a vendor on the phone says "email me your specifications," the AI can send that email as part of the same task.
Do I see everything that happens?
Yes. Every task comes with full transparency: call transcripts, email copies, and a summary. You can review every interaction.
What tasks work best with multi-channel AI?
Vendor research, appointment scheduling, service setup, insurance inquiries, and any task where you'd normally need to make calls and send emails to get it done.
