An AI voice agent that speaks French.
A French agent writes its replies in French and speaks them in a Cartesia Sonic voice; GPT Transcribe hears the caller. Use it for a booking desk, a support line or a talk button on a French-language site, and tell it in its instructions whether callers are vous or tu.
What a caller hears.

Yes. Every agent listens for English as well as its own language, so a sentence that mixes the two is understood.

Yes, in two ways. Save the agent in French and every call starts in it. Or keep the agent as it is and hold one call in French by sending language: "fr" when you start it.
