Turns Your Asterisk Server into an AI Powerhouse

If you’re managing an Asterisk, Issabel, or FreePBX server, you probably have a directory—usually /var/spool/asterisk/monitor—that’s packed with thousands of  .wav or .mp3 files. For most businesses, this folder ends up as a “data graveyard.” You hold onto the recordings for compliance, but unless a major issue comes up, nobody ever actually listens to them.

The real issue isn’t the amount of data—it’s how hard it is to access. Manually downloading files, uploading them to an AI tool, and then waiting for the results is a tedious task that no busy admin has time for.

The “Folder-Watch” Revolution

Verbix.AI takes things to the next level with our Folder-Watch integration. Built around a “Set It and Forget It” approach, it quietly works in the background—monitoring your local server and processing every call the moment it lands, like an invisible assistant you can always count on.

How the Automated Workflow Works:

1. The Watchdog: A lightweight, secure Verbix agent “watches” your specific recording folder on your local Linux server.
2. Instant Detection: The millisecond a call recording is finalized and closed by Asterisk, Verbix detects the new file.
3. Encrypted Processing: The file is securely streamed (via TLS 1.3) to the Verbix AI engine.
4. Data Delivery: Verbix extracts the summary, sentiment, and key data points, then POSTs them directly to your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.).
5. Smart Archiving: Once processed, Verbix can automatically move the file to a “Processed” folder or an S3 bucket, keeping your local disk space optimized.

No IT Team? No Problem.

You don’t have to be a senior DevOps engineer to turn your legacy server into an AI powerhouse. The Folder-Watch system is designed with the “real-world” admin in mind:

• Minimal Footprint: The agent uses negligible CPU and RAM, ensuring your PBX stays fast and responsive.
• Firewall Friendly: It uses outbound HTTPS connections, meaning you don’t have to open dangerous “Inbound” ports on your local network.
• Resilient: If your internet blips, the agent simply waits and resumes uploading once the connection is back. No data is ever lost.

What Our Technical Partners Say

“We had five years’ worth of recordings sitting idle on a RAID array. Within an hour of setting up Verbix Folder-Watch, live trends and automated summaries were flowing straight into our HubSpot. It turned our Asterisk server from a cost center into a revenue driver.”
— Tom B., IT Manager
