Most people think AI receptionists are just chatbots on the phone.
They're not.
Here's the actual stack behind a real AI voice agent:
→ LLM APIs — the brain. GPT, Claude, Gemini — this is where the actual thinking happens.
→ Retell AI — handles the live phone call. Listens, responds, books. No human needed.
→ n8n — connects everything. If Retell is the person talking, n8n is the one actually doing the work behind the scenes.
→ Google Calendar — appointments land here automatically. Zero manual entry.
→ Google Sheets — lightweight CRM for call logs, lead data, client records.
Five tools. One system. Infinite calls.
This is the stack I'm learning to build real AI agents on.
