those are the direct costs from retell, however with premium versions of chatdash you are able to bill the client through chatdash and I'm assuming that is what would show up there instead if you decide to upcharge

Yes you can definitely build one for free. At the very least under $5

@@tommychryst bro 1 more question ,if i want to document my journey on yt as 17yo guy from india and my english is not as fluent ,and how can talk with us client ,and in which lang i have to post video and on which topic ,can you give me some suggestion or tips.!!!!!!!!

honestly, I would just be yourself and talk to clients and make youtube videos without trying to get an english voiceover or anything. but in the meantime definitely work on your english, it's a great skill to have in business your other choice, which is a lot easier, is to just make content and target people in your native language. India might not have the same spending power as the US, but there is also a lot less competition of people making videos and selling those services

@@tommychryst ya in india no one talking about this ai agents , i think to make my video in my native language and on after getting some testimonial and case studies THEN ,i will open a new yt channel with my agency name ,an linked in also. is this a good approach ,whats your thought ?( IN THIS PERIOD I HAVE TIME TO LEARN AMERICAN ACCENT ENG..) P.S.btw very very love from india we will collab soon . 🙌🙌🙌🙌

@user-pv6dy6fn6p ya man I think that's a really smart way to approach it. Create content and sell these services in countries that speak your native language. Then (once you feel the time is right) you can leverage your existing experience and audience to try and move into english speaking markets

I like both a lot and it all comes down to personal preference. Retell is better with outbound calling in my opinion, and Retell also has a lot more native functions. Vapi has a lot more tutorials and support on KZbin and discord which might make it easier if you don't already know what you're doing. Overall both platforms can do 99% of the things you'll want to build, so I wouldn't stress about which one you use. It is also easy to switch back and forth between them for different projects

@ thank you very much Tommy. We use vapi extensively but I see more and more videos showcasing retell. Your feedback is very helpful

@@Betula-ai of course! I always like to inform my viewers of every possible option and teach them how to use it, that way they can make informed decisions on what platforms to use :)

Yes it does! You just have to go to the settings right above the prompts, and change the language to your preferred language and also make sure to change your voice provider and transcriber to a multilingual variant. As I mentioned all these settings should be right above the prompt

I appreciate the support! Glad you're excited to join the space.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

I'd start with your network and see who needs help with automation. You clearly already have the business know-how to start, you just need something to sell them. Start by polling your existing network and see what solutions they would be interested in (web chatbots, voice agents, etc.). Then I would start by doing one or two free jobs, get some results and get comfortable with building and delivering the service. Then from there feel free to sell away armed with case studies and everything you learned along the way!

I would also recommend watching this video, might make things a bit clearer: Build an AI Agency in 30 mins: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Pdi6V-hdxggcksi=ZXtDgYFYfRzrLlVr

Yes, the easiest way to use your own phone is to transfer your phone number to a service like Twilio or Vonage and then import it to Retell

@@tommychryst What about having the client forward their existing number to Retell's Twilio number?

@@ericborgos the easiest way to do that is also to transfer the clients number over to Twilio. Twilio has a bunch of features, one of them being this make.com(ish) function builder that lets you forward calls from that number I'm sure there is also a way to do this using only make.com but the telephone modules on make give me a headache

@@tommychryst But why is that better than just having the customer forward their number using whatever provider they already have? Getting a customer to switch to Twilio is a lot harder than getting them to forward their number.

@@ericborgos you could do that as well, liekly with much less friction, I'm just more familiar with twilio so I recommended it

Definitely easier if you're earlier, however there are a lot more niches and specializations for AAA compared to SEO agencies. Overall a lot more money for AAAs than SEO Agencies as well

not saturated at all. still millions of $$$ flowing through AI Agencies

Just click on the “deploy” button on the top corner of Tixae Agents. Then copy the code (the type you choose depends on a variety of factors). Then paste it in the footer code of your website. Deployment can vary a lot depending on the website builder/host, but it is possible with 99% of websites

No, I made this entire bot using either free or starter plans. The most expensive software I used was GHL's $100 plan

Got it, the only thing that’s stumping me is that I can’t find the red custom webhook tags/functions, for example, ”1. message: call: customer: number”. Help

@@danielmirochnik8446 To get those variables to pop up you need to first determine the data structure for the webhook by running a test call through the webhook first before setting it all up. Also if you go to my skool community and download the make.com blueprint from the video everything will automatically be imported so you don't have to remake the function

But just for voice agents only, for chatbots I still prefer Tixae

Interesting, I really like the channel deployment and extra customization you get with Tixae Agents

Thanks man I appreciate the support!

Bro wtf hhh

do you also sock ur own d ?

@@Rotba-rs6rl Brother needed a comment, LOL descent video though

Anywhere from $350 to a couple grand a month depending on their call volume and the functionality they want

Yes!! You just need to change your transcriber and voice to options that can handle multilingual

sorry, could you elaborate a bit more about what you're asking?

@@tommychryst We can offer a demo free of charge to anyone who requests it by testing with their own phone number? You talk about it in your video. My English may not be good, it's not my mother tongue. Did you understand my request better? 🙂

Glad you enjoyed

Thank you so much it means a lot!

The software works for sure. You will need to import a phone number from Twilio or Vonage however. Vapi's built in phone numbers only work in the US and Canada

Yes I plan on making a tutorial using tools soon. If you look back at my other tutorials (like my AI Receptionist video), I use functions to send emails and book appointments as well! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

The end result is the same as a function yes, however tool calling is a lot more flexible than functions. Tools can also be used for multiple assistants without needing to create a new one every time (like you would have to with a function)

Legend!

definitely. It all really depends on how many functions/features they want to include. I'd say anywhere from $500/month to $5k+ a month. For example a SMB would probably not need as much support or functions so it would be on the lower end. But if you were working with a big SAAS company that gets 100s of calls an hour, you can justify the higher cost since that AI caller will need a lot more attention and complexity. A typical receptionist at a SMB makes ~3k per month. Some larger companies have entire teams that field inbound calls, which can cost 10k+ a month. Not including benefits.

The short answer is it depends. The long answer is that you would take an sms or email node in make, and position it wherever in the flow you want the info to be sent (before the google sheet, after, etc.). You would then make the necessary connections with that node to set it up. After that, you would be able to fill out the message with whatever variables or links you want, while making sure the "To:" section is the users email or phone #. Please also note that Vapi does not naturally capture the users email, so you have to prompt the AI caller to do that. The second option you have is to use another webhook just for that purpose, and create some sort of 'booking' function within Make & Vapi that is triggered when the prospect is interested or something along those lines

Yes! Look in the description

Glad you liked it!

Thanks Mark!

thank you man! The mic I used in this was a blue yeti, and I used Loom to record the video. Other than that it is just my iphone that the call is being made on + some editing of the sound in Davinci resolve to make it clearer

Definitely man. I'm still working on a vid that incorporates Vapi Squads right now. For this use case I wanted to go with something a bit more beginner friendly. But as soon as you add some complexity to the routes and stuff I would recommend using Squads or bland instead of hard baking the routes into the prompt.

hmm. It is working for me...could you explain a bit more in depth where your problems are and maybe I can try and help

You need a getavailble slots function, which is missing

The get function to find open times was the 2nd http request in the 'Vapi -> GHL Booking' sequence in make, however since I made this AI caller a while ago I used the V1 API documentation for GHL. If you want to use the V2 documentation here is the URL that would go in that same HTTP block: services.leadconnectorhq.com/calendars/calendarid/free-slots?startDate={{15.starttime}}&endDate={{15.endtime}} Make sure to fill out the 'calendarid' value when using this Get request. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions

Thank you so much 😀

Glad it helped! Let me know if you have any questions!

Yesssiiirr

Thanks, will do!

I got the same error when building this scenario. I fixed mine by formatting the phone number correctly (+1xxxxxxxxxx). I would also recommend making sure that your assistant ID and Phone Number ID are correct. If neither of those work you can delete the Vapi block and try and fill out the different fields again

for sure. A lot of people barely notice that they're talking to AI already

Get used to it man because these things print $$$ for businesses
