1. A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
causing a bot to initiate a phone call with a communication participant, the phone call being initiated over a natural language communication channel, and the phone call being conducted using a natural language communication method that includes a dialogue of natural language communications;
determining, based on monitoring the phone call between the bot and the communication participant, whether the communication participant is a human or an additional bot; and
in response to determining that the communication participant is an additional bot, causing the phone call to be transitioned to a machine communication method that is different from the natural language communication method with which the phone call was initiated.
