AI customer service & voice agents

A support agent you own, not one you rent forever.

Sierra, Decagon, and Intercom Fin rent you a metered agent that charges per resolution, every month, for as long as you use it. I build you a custom customer-service or voice agent on the same infrastructure they use underneath, integrated with your systems, that you own outright. One project fee. Your data. Your flows. No per-resolution subscription that scales against your success.

Build or buy

The platforms are great until the bill scales with your growth.

For a lot of teams, buying Fin or Sierra is the right call, and I will tell you when it is. But there is a real middle lane: companies whose flows are too custom for a self-serve bot, who do not want a per-resolution bill that grows forever, and who want to own the agent and the data. That is the lane I build for.

Where it hurts
01Per-resolution and per-conversation pricing that punishes growth
02Flows too custom for a template bot, too small for a five-person build team
03Sensitive data you want to keep in your own systems
04FAQ bots that deflect nothing and frustrate customers
The build

A custom, integrated agent with real escalation, evals, and compliance.

Built on Vapi, Retell, or your stack of choice, wired into your helpdesk and order systems, with a human handoff that actually works.

How it works

A small number of moves, each one verifiable.

Every stage ships its own deliverables, so you can see progress and correct course before the next one starts.

01

Map the flows

We map your real support or call flows and decide build versus buy honestly. If buying is right, I say so.

02

Build the agent

I build the agent against your real systems, with escalation and the integrations that make it useful on day one.

03

Evals and compliance

Resolution quality gets measured, and the telephony and privacy plumbing gets handled properly.

04

Launch and own

You run it on your own platform account. An optional retainer keeps it tuned.

Owned runtimeDocumentationOptional retainer
Why me

Own the agent, rent nothing.

You pay the platform passthrough (Vapi or Retell, around $0.15 to $0.30 a minute) directly, on your own account. I never sit in that bill, and you can take the agent anywhere.

See the things I have built

I do not advise on AI from the outside. I build these systems in my own products first, live with the failure modes, and rebuild the parts that break under real users. The patterns I bring to your build are the ones I have already paid for in mine.
