DialDynamo: an AI receptionist for US trades
The question. Will US home service trades pay a monthly fee for an AI receptionist when a sales partner calls them?
what I built
A voice receptionist that answers the phone and books the job into a calendar, and a missed call SMS agent.
Twilio · OpenAI Realtime · Supabase · DigitalOcean
what happened
- Both products went live at 300 and 99 dollars a month. 254 of 254 tests passed.
- 133 calls to 9 demo business lines, mostly test callers: 130 minutes of talk, a median response time of 728 ms and 12.39 dollars in AI and phone costs.
- The sales partner made 5 to 10 calls a day, about 25 to 50 a week.
- 9 meetings were booked with agencies for a white label version. No deal is recorded.
- 0 paying clients.
Cost. About 6 dollars a month for the server.
decision
The bottleneck was 100 percent distribution, and 25 to 50 calls a week was too few to learn from. Stopped.
- AI disclosure rules for voice and SMS agents have to be checked before launch.
