Use Lob with DialNexa when the call needs classification, extraction, generation, retrieval, summarization, visual understanding, or another AI-assisted step.
Where Lob fits in a DialNexa workflow
Lob should receive DialNexa output when the conversation affects a model run, extraction result, generated answer, transcript, classification, media analysis, or tool call. The handoff should explain what the caller asked for, what DialNexa learned, which record or object is affected, and who owns the next step.Generate useful drafts
Create replies, notes, briefs, summaries, or tasks from the exact call outcome and approved context.
Extract structured details
Pull names, dates, products, addresses, invoice numbers, image labels, or requested actions into fields.
Keep humans in control
Send low-confidence, sensitive, or account-changing outputs to review instead of acting silently.
Classify call intent
Turn messy speech into intent, category, urgency, language, sentiment, and confidence fields.
