Voice As A Primary AI Interface
- Voice will become a primary interface because it transmits emotional cues and richer context than text.
- Hearing AI responses also creates a more pleasurable and efficient user experience.
Use Platform Workflows First
- Register on the platform and use prebuilt workflows to connect speech, LLMs, and TTS without deep engineering.
- Prepare your business logic and knowledge base to train the agent and configure appointment or checkout flows.
Budget For Small-Business Voice Agents
- Expect small-business voice agents to start at a few hundred dollars per month depending on call volume.
