It’s easy to get excited about AI voice technology.
It’s much harder to make it work in the real world.

When we first started experimenting with AI voice agents at OutreachGenius, we ran into the same problem many others face:

• Tonal mapping
• Natural hesitation behaviors
• Failure handling structures
