Zusammenfassung:A phone tree traversal system includes an input device configured to receive a user call request, a memory, and one or more processors. The one or more processors analyze the user call request to identify an entity to call and an objective of the call, and obtain a map of a phone tree utilized by an automated call receiving system of the entity. The phone tree includes at least one node with multiple path segments that branch from the node, and each node includes a respective prompt. The one or more processors determine a route along the map to an endpoint of the phone tree associated with the objective. During the call, the one or more processors navigate the phone tree to reach the endpoint by submitting information in response to the respective prompt at each node along the route that is determined.
