Abstract: A system for providing a callback cloud, comprising an application server operated by a callback cloud service provider, a media server, a session management server, an interaction manager, and an intent analysis engine. The application server receives registrations from callback providers unaffiliated with the callback service provider. The application server is adapted to receive callback requests from users, comprising a specific callback provider from whom a callback is requested, when a requested callback should be made, and allowable media types. The application server directs the callback request to the interaction manager, and the interaction manager sends data elements pertaining to the request to the intent analysis engine and receives therefrom data elements pertaining to the callback request determined based on an analysis of the requester's intent.
