Known Limitations & Important Considerations (AI Hotline)
The AI-Powered Hotline is built on advanced AI and large language models to provide a modern, accessible, and reliable reporting experience.
While it offers a highly consistent and user-friendly way to report concerns, it is still an AI-based system and may occasionally behave imperfectly.
This article explains known limitations and practical considerations to help organizations understand how the system works in real conditions.
These limitations are typical for modern AI voice systems and do not affect the overall reliability of the service.
General Considerations
The hotline is powered by artificial intelligence and natural language processing technologies. While highly reliable, AI systems may occasionally:
• Misinterpret unclear speech
• Ask a follow-up question that feels slightly out of context
• React less naturally in unusual conversational situations or interrupt a reporter if they take too long pauses or speak too quietly
These cases are rare but possible.
Best Call Conditions
For optimal performance:
• Callers should avoid using speakerphone when possible
• Background noise should be minimized
• Only one person should speak at a time
When the phone is on speaker or background noise is present, the AI agent may:
• Misinterpret sounds as speech
• Interrupt the caller unintentionally
• Skip short parts of sentences
• Respond in a way that feels less natural
The system performs best in standard phone-to-ear conversations without interruptions.
Known Limitations
The following behaviors are known limitations of current AI voice technology:
• Gendered language (for example Czech & Slovak)
The AI agent may use female grammatical forms when speaking, even if the caller is male. It is not able to identify the reporters gender based on their voice.
• Transcript inaccuracies
Automatic transcripts may contain minor errors, especially if audio quality is poor or speech is unclear.
• Unusual responses caused by background noise
Sudden sounds or multiple voices may cause the agent to briefly interject or respond unexpectedly.
• Short utterances misdetected as another language
Very brief responses (e.g., “halo”) may occasionally be interpreted as a different language.
• Voice anonymization is not 100%
Anonymization is designed to reduce voice recognizability while keeping speech understandable.
Fully distorting the voice to make it completely unrecognizable is not possible without reducing clarity.
• Maximum call duration (10 minutes)
AI Hotline calls are limited to a maximum of 10 minutes.
Calls exceeding this limit will end automatically to ensure system availability and performance.
• Language switching
Language switching during a call is supported and works best when used once or twice. Frequent switching between multiple languages within a single call may lead to reduced call quality or less accurate responses.
• AI-driven variability
Not every call will be identical, as the experience is AI-driven and can vary slightly based on the conversation and caller input.
• VoIP limitations (e.g. Microsoft Teams)
If the hotline is called via tools such as Microsoft Teams or other VoIP services, the caller may not receive the follow-up text message with the case key and secure link.
It is important to note that other limitations may occur during use. Each will be evaluated and handled appropriately.
Emergency Escalation Considerations
The emergency escalation feature is designed to detect clear and explicit descriptions of immediate danger.
Because the system relies on language interpretation:
• Situations described vaguely or indirectly may not trigger escalation
• Emotionally intense speech alone does not activate emergency escalation
• The feature should be treated as a support mechanism, not a guaranteed detection system
Organizations remain responsible for defining and maintaining their emergency response procedures.

Reliability & Continuous Improvement
Despite these limitations, the AI-Powered Hotline remains the most reliable and comfortable voice reporting options available.
It provides:
• Consistent reporting quality
• Structured case documentation
• Immediate availability without human operator dependency
• A more natural and less stressful reporting experience
The system will be continuously monitored and improved to enhance accuracy, usability, and reporter comfort.
