Questions
FAQ
What's the realistic timeline for voice AI agents with a Dunedin?
Most Dunedin businesses have their first usable slice in week 5 or 6. We'd rather ship narrow and real than broad and aspirational – your team gets to use the thing well before the engagement is "done".
Is voice AI agents worth it for a smaller Dunedin?
Often, yes – and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Anyone else in this space using voice AI agents?
Plenty. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What happens if we want to swap a vendor out later?
Voice AI agents is built behind a small adapter layer specifically so swapping a model provider or a data source is a one-day job, not a re-architecture. Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime are our defaults, but the build is intentionally portable.
