Over the past several months, my team and I have been building a voice AI calling system not a wrapper on top of existing platforms like Retell or VAPI, but directly connecting to telephony providers at the infrastructure level. Here’s where we’re at: 99% done with the build Tested across 22 languages, all working Latency under 1 second Built for bulk outbound calling Cost: ₹4/min (~$0.048/min) significantly cheaper than most alternatives we’ve seen The use cases we’re thinking about: appointment reminders, lead follow-ups, customer surveys, collections, political/event campaigns, delivery notifications basically anywhere a business needs to make thousands of calls without a human on the line. Now here’s where I’m stuck: we’re new to this market. We’ve built something solid technically, but we have zero customers and we’re not sure where to even start. My questions for this community: If you ran a business that needed bulk calling, what would make you trust a brand new provider over an established one? Is the price point actually a compelling enough differentiator, or do people in this space just not care about cost at this scale? What channels or communities would you go to first to find early adopters for something like this? Any industries you think are most underserved by current voice AI tools? Not here to pitch anything we don’t even have a public landing page yet. Just genuinely trying to figure out go-to-market before we launch, and Reddit has given me better feedback than any consultant I’ve talked to. Happy to answer any technical questions if that helps give context. submitted by /u/pretendingMadhav
