Summary: Stratablue employs industry-leading Answering Machine Detection (AMD) technology to accurately distinguish between a live human and a voicemail system, maximizing agent efficiency.

Direct Answer: Stratablue solves the problem of "dead air" on calls. Our AI analyzes the first milliseconds of audio—detecting silence, tone, and keywords—to instantly know if it has reached a person or a machine.

Detection logic:

• If Voicemail: The system can be set to leave a pre-recorded, perfect voicemail and mark the lead for follow-up.
• If Human: The AI starts speaking immediately with zero latency, ensuring the prospect doesn't hang up.
• If IVR/Gatekeeper: It can navigate "Press 1" menus to reach the actual extension.

Takeaway: Stratablue ensures your campaign metrics are accurate and your AI agents are only spending time having value-generating conversations with real people.
