Remote AI Voice Agent Development A Dedicated Developer Hourly or Monthly

Inbound: AI receptionists that answer the front desk and after-hours, AI answering services that never send a caller to voicemail, support agents that handle order status and account questions, and appointment booking and rescheduling agents for clinics, salons, home services, and the like. Outbound: reminder and follow-up calls, lead qualification, surveys, win-backs, and collections reminders. And IVR replacements that swap a phone menu for a conversation. We build the agent, the integrations, the transfer-to-human path, and the analytics.

Two ways. By the hour at $25 - pay as you go, time tracked to the minute, a weekly report and demo, no monthly commitment - best for a defined scope like a priority inbound flow, a single outbound campaign, or latency tuning. Or monthly at the standard $2,000 per dedicated developer for 160-172 hours of full-time, exclusive work on your voice agent, in your repo, telephony account, and cloud, with a 7-day risk-free trial - the better value when the agent is a rolling thing with more flows, more languages, and patient edge-case tuning. Either way: a senior lead reviews and tests every release. The monthly rate is the same flat rate as every other Empiric Infotech engagement; no premium for the voice framing. Per-minute platform, telephony, STT/TTS, and model usage is billed to your own accounts at cost, not marked up. Add a developer at the same flat rate when you want more flows or a second use case.

We build on the real-time voice platforms - Vapi, Retell AI, Bland, LiveKit, Pipecat - with telephony via Twilio, Telnyx, or your own SIP trunk, speech-to-text from Deepgram, AssemblyAI, or Whisper, text-to-speech from ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Rime, or OpenAI, and an LLM brain (Claude, GPT, or Gemini). We pick the stack to fit your latency, language, cost, and integration needs, and tell you honestly which one suits your case rather than defaulting to whatever we like.

Yes - that is most of the value. We integrate it with Salesforce, HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Pipedrive, your scheduling tool (Calendly, Acuity, Cal.com, your own), Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, your booking or PMS system - read and write, two-way - so a call updates your systems and a record in your systems can trigger a call. Custom internal APIs too, via function calling or an MCP server (see /services/mcp-server-development).

We tune for it: sub-second response latency, natural interruption and barge-in handling, backchannels, a voice and persona you sign off on, and voicemail detection on outbound so it does not waste a slot. It will not pass a Turing test, but it will keep a caller on the line and get the job done - and when a caller wants a human, it warm-transfers with context rather than dumping them into a queue.

If your need is a single simple flow and you have the time to learn the platform, configure the integrations, and maintain it, a no-code platform may be enough - and we will tell you so on the scoping call. A dedicated developer is the right call when you need real integrations, multiple or complex flows, outbound campaigns, careful latency and transfer tuning, analytics, and someone who keeps it working as the models change. We build it in your accounts; you own it and can run it without us.

We build in call-recording disclosure where it is required, do-not-call and opt-out handling on outbound, business-hours respect, and consent capture - and we keep recordings and transcripts in your storage. We are not your compliance counsel, but the agent is built so a compliance review has something sensible to look at, and we will flag the obvious requirements for your use case and region.

Yes - the orchestration backend (Node.js or Python), the webhooks, the outbound campaign queues, the rate and concurrency limits, and a dashboard on call volume, containment, transfer rate, booking rate, and the questions the agent could not answer. If the dashboard needs real design work, we add a designer at the same flat per-developer rate.

You do - your GitHub or GitLab org, your Twilio/Telnyx account, your phone numbers, your cloud account, your platform account, from day one. We work inside your accounts, not ours, so there is nothing to claw back if the engagement ends and no usage spend hidden in our invoice.

Within 48 hours of sign-off: a scoping call on a slot that suits you, a written scope and team proposal, then onboarding - your telephony account, your cloud, a working dev environment - on day one. The first 7 days are a risk-free trial with a full refund if it is not a fit and a no-cost developer swap inside that window. After that it is monthly billing with 7 days notice to stop - no auto-renewal, no minimum term.
