Quick answer: Tuition and enrichment centres lose leads when nobody calls back Facebook/WhatsApp enquiries. An AI voice agent can ask interest, qualify subject/level, book a trial appointment, and hand hot parents to a counsellor — in BM/English — while your front desk teaches. DIY/US stacks exist; Suarify fits Malaysian centres with flowchart design, localized voice, lower local latency, and easy setup.
