Problem

Outbound and inbound lead calls eat staff time, and call notes go undocumented

Caveats

Needs paid RetellAI and Twilio accounts (costs UNKNOWN) plus an OpenAI API key. Consent and call-recording laws for AI voice calls vary by state and country; get legal advice before calling leads.

Setup estimates are rough guesses for someone comfortable with the tools who already has the accounts and API keys. Real time is unknown until tested.
