Platform · Cross-Call Memory

Your AI remembers every caller.

Frontly recognises a returning caller the moment they ring, and recalls who they are, what they wanted last time, and what matters to them. Customers feel known, and nobody has to start from scratch on every call.

The short answer

What is cross-call memory?

Cross-call memory is a per-caller record keyed to the phone number, so your AI agent knows who is calling before they say a word. It holds details such as name, company, interests, budget and timeline, plus a running summary of previous conversations, and loads them at the start of every call. A repeat caller never starts from scratch, and any record can be deleted on request.

The problem

Making loyal customers repeat themselves erodes the relationship

A customer who has called three times does not want to explain who they are a fourth. Most phone systems treat every call as the first one. The caller re-explains their situation, the context is lost, and a relationship that should feel personal feels like a cold start.

Frontly recognises the caller and brings their history into the conversation automatically.

Recognition

Knows who is calling before they say a word

When a known number rings, Frontly recognises the caller and greets them in context. There is no asking for a name and reference number that the business should already have.

  • Returning callers identified by phone number
  • Greeted in context, not as a stranger
  • Call count and relationship history available

Continuity

Picks up the thread from last time

A running summary of past conversations is loaded into the call at the start, so the agent already knows what was discussed and where things were left. The customer continues, rather than repeating.

  • Running summary of prior conversations on hand
  • Loaded automatically at the start of each call
  • No 'as I explained last time' from frustrated callers

Past conversation summary loaded

Personal

Remembers the details that matter

Names, contact details, interests, budget, and timelines are remembered per caller, so the conversation reflects what you already know about them. It feels personal because it is.

  • Key facts retained per caller
  • Preferences and interests recalled across calls
  • A more personal conversation, every time

Caller profile and preferences

Privacy first

You stay in control of caller data

Memory is there to serve the customer, not to hoard data. You can delete a caller's record from the dashboard at any time, so you can honour a request and keep your data hygiene tidy.

  • Per-caller record deletion from the dashboard
  • Built with privacy obligations in mind
  • Keep only what serves the relationship

How it works

How memory works on a call

1

A caller rings

Frontly matches the incoming number to an existing caller record, if one exists.

2

Their history loads

The caller's summary, key details, and preferences are brought into the conversation at the start.

3

The conversation continues

The agent speaks to the caller as someone it knows, building on what came before instead of starting over.

The industries where it matters most

The industries where this changes the most calls, and why their phones are different.

Dental virtual receptionist

A missed call is an empty chair, and recalls only happen if somebody actually makes them.

Medical answering service

Patients ring out at the front desk while staff are with someone, and rarely call back.

See the industry page

Buyer enquiries arrive in bursts around listings and inspections, and go cold within the hour.

Property management answering service

Tenants call about maintenance and arrears all day, which is what stops property managers doing their actual job.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. It recognises a returning caller by their phone number and loads their history and preferences at the start of the call, so they never have to repeat themselves.

Yes. Any caller's record can be deleted from the dashboard at any time, which removes the stored details and the running summary of their past conversations. That is what lets you action a deletion request from a caller, and it is also how you control how long caller data is retained. Deleting a record does not delete the call transcripts themselves, which are governed separately by your account's retention settings.

Frontly keeps a per-caller record keyed to the phone number, holding details such as name, contact information, company, interests, budget, timeline, and how many times they have called, plus a running summary of past conversations.

At the start of each call, the caller's record and summary are loaded into the agent's context, so the relevant history is available from the first sentence.

During a single call the agent also keeps the recent turns verbatim and a compressed summary of earlier turns, so it stays coherent across a long conversation.

Caller records can be deleted per record from the dashboard, so you can comply with a deletion request and control how long data is retained.
