The problem it solves

Calling every customer for reminders, follow-ups, or basic questions doesn't scale, and hiring someone just to make routine calls is a heavy cost for a small team. Important calls end up pushed off or skipped entirely.

Who it fits

A business that needs to make routine outbound calls, such as appointment reminders or follow-ups, without staffing a call desk.

How it works

  1. You set the phone number to call and which AI agent should handle it
  2. The AI voice agent starts a live conversation session
  3. The phone system dials the number and connects the call to the AI agent in real time
  4. The AI agent speaks with the person naturally, following its configured script
What you get

Reminder calls made without lifting the phone

You get routine outbound calls, like appointment reminders and follow-ups, handled through a natural real-time conversation with your customers.

What you get

A completed outbound phone call handled entirely by an AI voice agent.

What you need

A Twilio account with a phone number and an Ultravox account with a configured AI agent.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
