What this walkthrough gets you
You will build AI phone agents that answer every call, book appointments and capture leads for local businesses like med spas, dental offices and plumbers, then sell them on a monthly retainer. It starts for under $50, because free tiers and trial credits cover your first build and pilot. You will have a working agent in a weekend and land your first paying client in three to five weeks through a free pilot, at $3,000 to $5,000 per client every month. No coding; every step is laid out for you.
