Dottie — AI Phone Assistant

Drey Thomas

Dottie is an AI receptionist that lives on a real phone line. Call it or text it and it answers in a natural voice, books meetings, and replies over iMessage and SMS — then remembers the whole conversation the next time you reach out.
How it's built: Vapi runs the live voice calls, Convex stores the memory and conversation state, and one shared "brain" powers both the phone line and the web chat so the personality is identical everywhere. Inbound calls and texts hit webhooks; replies are rate-limited and loop-guarded so it never spams or talks to itself.
Result: a 24/7 assistant on its own number that handles intake, follow-ups, and scheduling — no human needed to pick up.
