Questions
FAQ
How fast could we have voice AI agents in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Nelson businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Nelson businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Has this actually shipped for a real Nelson?
Yes. 42% of after-hours calls now booked without human input. We'll share comparable engagements on the call.
What if our Nelson doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape – ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful – is part of the engagement. For voice AI agents specifically, we typically run that work on Vapi, Retell, Twilio, OpenAI Realtime and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
