Ship It Live · voice AI sprint
An AI that answers the phone, live in 30 days.
Calls answered on the first ring, appointments booked, and anything it cannot handle passed to a human within seconds.
Quick answer
A voice AI agent can be designed, built and taking real calls in 30 days from a fixed $2,500, covering the phone number and telephony, conversation design, booking or lookup actions, human handoff, and transcripts. It is built to hand over to a person quickly rather than to trap callers in a loop.
The plan
Day one to day 30, written down.
You get this schedule before you commit, not after. If a phase slips, that is mine to absorb — the price and the date were agreed before anything started.
- 1
Days 1–3
Listen to real calls
What people actually phone about, in what words, and which of those an agent should ever attempt. This is the difference between a useful agent and an infuriating one.
- 2
Days 4–12
Conversation design
Scripts, edge cases, interruption handling, and the escalation rule. Written and reviewed before a line of integration code.
- 3
Days 13–24
Build
Telephony, speech, the model, and the actions it can take against your booking or records system. Latency is treated as a feature — a slow agent is a hung-up call.
- 4
Days 25–28
Call it relentlessly
Accents, background noise, interruptions, people who talk over it, people who just want a human. All of it, before your customers find it.
- 5
Days 29–30
Launch
Number live, hours and overflow rules set, transcripts flowing, and your team briefed on what it does and does not take.
What from $2,500 gets you
Everything needed to launch — nothing padding the invoice.
Who books this
Built for
Businesses losing bookings because nobody can reach the phone
Clinics, salons and services with predictable, repetitive calls
Teams whose after-hours calls currently go to a voicemail nobody clears
Real situations
Five ways this shows up, and what actually fixes it.
Not hypothetical — the shape of the problem before someone books this sprint, and the specific part of the build that resolves it.
Situation 1
Losing bookings because nobody can reach the phone
A business's phone rings during busy periods and after hours with no one available to answer, and each missed call is a potential booking or enquiry lost.
Calls are answered on the first ring, with real actions like checking availability and booking, handled by an agent that hands off to a human when needed.
Situation 2
After-hours calls go to a voicemail nobody clears
Calls outside business hours route to voicemail, and by the time anyone listens to and returns them, the caller has often already gone elsewhere.
The voice agent handles after-hours calls directly — booking, answering, or taking a message — instead of leaving them for a voicemail nobody prioritizes.
Situation 3
The same repetitive calls every single day
A clinic, salon or service business fields a predictable set of repetitive calls — hours, availability, simple bookings — that consume staff time better spent elsewhere.
Conversation design in days 4-12 is built around the business's actual real calls, not a generic script, so the repetitive third gets handled automatically.
Situation 4
Worried an AI phone agent will just frustrate callers
A business owner has experienced bad automated phone systems themselves and is wary that a voice AI agent will trap their own customers the same way.
Fast, unmistakable handoff to a human is treated as the single most important design element — the agent takes what it can and hands off the rest quickly.
Situation 5
Accents and noisy lines break the current phone system
A previous phone automation attempt struggled badly with accents or background noise, becoming a source of customer frustration rather than convenience.
The agent is deliberately tested against accents and noisy lines, and asks again once before escalating to a human rather than guessing.
The honest part
When 30 days is the wrong answer.
A fixed deadline only works when the scope genuinely fits inside it. These are the cases where I will tell you so rather than take the booking.
Outbound cold calling. Legally restricted in most markets and reputationally corrosive in all of them.
Regulated conversations — medical, legal or financial advice — which carry liability that voice makes worse, not better.
Replacing your whole support line. A voice agent should take the repetitive third of calls and pass the rest on, and anyone promising more is selling you complaints.
Inside the 30 days
- A phone number and telephony wired up end to end
- Conversation design for your actual calls, not a generic script
- Real actions: check availability, book, reschedule, answer, take a message
- Fast, unmistakable handoff to a human — the feature that makes it tolerable
- Transcripts and recordings of every call, searchable afterwards
- Business-hours and overflow rules so it only takes what it should
- An analytics view: call volume, outcomes, what it failed to handle
- Source code, prompts and configuration yours at handover
Quoted as one number before day one. A week running long is mine to absorb.
Outside the line
- Outbound cold calling. Legally restricted in most markets and reputationally corrosive in all of them.
- Regulated conversations — medical, legal or financial advice — which carry liability that voice makes worse, not better.
- Replacing your whole support line. A voice agent should take the repetitive third of calls and pass the rest on, and anyone promising more is selling you complaints.
Real work, sized and priced separately. You hear it before you book, not at handover.
Questions
Before you book
Yes, for a defined set of call types with real actions behind them. The month covers telephony, conversation design, integration, testing and launch. What takes longer is broad, open-ended support across dozens of topics.

30 days from now, this could be live.
