The audio data may indicate an utterance of a user confirming that information of a payment instrument is needed for transaction. The computer system may initiate a second communications session with a second device of the user to receive the information required for the transaction. In some examples, the computer system may execute the script to synthesize text-to-speech content that requests user input for the information from the second device. Once received, the information may be stored in a user account associated with the user. The VCD may be instructed to resume communications with the user upon termination of the second communications session with the second device.
