Like many professionals, I constantly battle interruptions from unwanted calls—cold calls, marketing, and even scam calls. I don’t want to answer every unknown number, but I can’t afford to miss important client calls.
Voicemail wasn’t solving this problem.It’s inconvenient and time-consuming. Dialling into a system, listening to each message, and sifting through irrelevant ones felt like a waste of time. What I really needed was a way to manage my missed calls without losing focus and without the fear of missing something important.
So, I started searching for a solution that could do just that: help me avoid unnecessary interruptions while still capturing important calls. However, I was shocked by what I found.
The existing limited options were either too expensive or designed for call centres and large businesses—not for individual professionals like me. They all came with fixed monthly plans that either left me overspending on unused call minutes or struggling with a plan too small for busier months.
So, I decided to build my own solution:OperationAI Missed Call Assistant, a tool specifically built for busy professionals who want to stay focused on what matters without worrying about missed calls.
Here’s what I set out to achieve:
1. An AI answers calls, interacts with the caller, and sends a detailed summary directly to email. No need to dial in or listen to voicemails—just open inbox and prioritize which calls requireimmediate attention.
2. An Affordable Price with flexible pay-as-you-go call minutes. No more wasting money on unused call time or worrying about running out during a busy month.
3. Simple Setup without any technical expertise to get started. Have the AI call assistant up and running in just af ew minutes.
While building a call system, latency is an important consideration. Using cutting-edge technologies like OpenAI's real-time API would allow us to achieve ultra-low latency. However, this would increase the costs significantly
higher, making the service less affordable for many individual professionals.
To keep user costs low, I decided to adopt a solution that slightly increases latency—around 2 seconds—which is still within an acceptable range for most users. This approach allows us to offer the service starting at just $10/month (for phone number rental) while keeping call costs on a pay-as-you-go basis.
This way, you only pay for what you use, so you won't have to worry about overpaying for unused minutes or running out of call time when business picks up.
If you’re looking for an affordable AI assistant that handles your missed calls, provides immediate email summaries, and helps you focus on what matters, I invite you to give Operation AI a try.
Say Goodbye to Voicemail, and start managing your calls with ease.
