AI Voice Agents

Phone-based AI agents that handle scheduling, intake, and routine calls without making callers feel like they're talking to a machine that doesn't listen.

What this is

We build voice agents for inbound and outbound calls — appointment scheduling, intake screening, order status, and call routing — using current speech-to-text and low-latency voice models, with a clear, tested handoff to a human for anything the agent shouldn't handle alone.

Who it's for

  • Businesses with high call volume for scheduling or intake (clinics, home services, real estate)
  • Teams missing calls after hours or during peak volume
  • Companies wanting consistent intake screening before a human gets involved

The problem

Phone calls still convert better than forms for a lot of businesses, but staffing a phone line for every call — including after-hours and overflow — is expensive, and voicemail loses leads.

What it automates

  • Inbound scheduling and rescheduling
  • Intake screening (qualifying questions before a human call)
  • Order/appointment status lookups
  • After-hours call capture with structured callback requests

How it works

1

Call flow design

Map the actual call types you receive and design a script/decision tree for each, written the way your team actually talks.

2

Voice build

Configure speech recognition, voice model, and calendar/CRM integration; test extensively against real accents, background noise, and interruptions.

3

Escalation & fallback

Explicit rules for when to transfer to a human live, and a fallback path if the caller is frustrated or the agent is uncertain.

4

Launch & monitor

Phased rollout with call recordings reviewed weekly to catch misunderstandings early.

What it integrates with

Calendly / Cal.comGoogle Calendar / OutlookCRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel)Twilio-based telephony

What implementation involves

Discovery (1 week)

Call-type mapping, script drafting.

Build (2-4 weeks)

Voice configuration, calendar/CRM integration, escalation logic.

Testing

Structured test calls across accents and edge cases before go-live.

Launch

Phased rollout, weekly call-quality review.

Limitations — honestly

  • Voice AI is honest work but not magic — heavy background noise, strong accents mixed with poor phone audio, or highly emotional calls still need a human fallback
  • Regulated industries (e.g. medical, legal advice) require careful scoping of what the agent is allowed to say
  • Ongoing call-quality review is recommended for the first month after launch

Realistic outcomes

  • Captures calls that would otherwise go to voicemail
  • Reduces staff time spent on routine scheduling calls
  • Provides consistent intake screening before a human is looped in

Frequently asked questions

We don't build agents to deceive callers — most implementations disclose it's an automated assistant upfront, which callers generally accept for scheduling-type calls when the experience is fast and works. This also isn't just good practice: the FCC has ruled that AI-generated voices used in calls fall under the same TCPA consent and disclosure rules as other artificial voice calls (see: https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-makes-ai-generated-voices-robocalls-illegal).
