The problem it solves

Selling AI phone receptionists to local businesses means researching each prospect, writing a custom script for their industry, and setting up the voice agent by hand, which doesn't scale past a handful of clients.

Who it fits

Agencies or consultants selling AI voice receptionist services to local businesses.

How it works

  1. Starts from a short form with your target city, keywords, and quantity
  2. Finds matching local businesses and pulls their contact details
  3. Reads each business's website to understand what they offer
  4. AI writes a custom receptionist script suited to that business type
  5. Sets up the voice agent and logs it to a tracking sheet
What you get

Custom receptionists set up per business automatically

Every local business you target gets researched automatically and matched with a custom AI phone receptionist built around its own website and services.

What you get

A list of ready-to-use AI voice receptionists, each tailored to a specific local business, tracked in a spreadsheet.

What you need

An Apify account, an Anthropic API key, an OpenRouter API key, a VAPI account, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
