Hey everyone, I could use some help. I’m building an AI receptionist in VAPI connected to a Twilio number for a local business. The idea is that it only responds after they miss a call. When someone calls and they don’t answer, the AI follows up, asks what appointment they want to book, collects about 8 pieces of info like their name, phone number, service type, etc., and then sends all that info to the business by email so they can easily follow up and book them in. This is the first real business I’ve worked with, so implementing everything properly into their existing setup is pretty new to me. They had a couple questions and I also have a few of my own. First, what’s the best way to actually connect this to their landline? Right now I just have a Twilio number connected to VAPI. Would the correct way be setting up call forwarding on their landline so missed calls forward to the Twilio number? Or is there a better way to handle a missed-call-only system? They also asked if there’s a way to turn it on and off whenever they want. What’s the cleanest way to do that? Would that just be toggling call forwarding, or is there something better inside Twilio or VAPI? Another thing they asked about was voicemail. If the AI is answering after a missed call, does that remove their current voicemail? Is there a way for them to keep their existing voicemail as a fallback, or would the AI completely replace it? The goal is that customers just call their normal number like usual, and if they don’t answer, the AI handles it automatically. I just want to make sure I implement this in the cleanest and most professional way possible. Would really appreciate any advice from someone who’s set this up before.

Quick question for anyone here who runs a Skool community, what are the best high-ROI things I can include as freebies to get people to join and actually feel like it’s valuable? I don’t want to spend hours filming modules right now. The plan is just to have the group started with some solid stuff, then as my content starts gaining traction, I’ll build it out more and start driving traffic there. So for now, what kind of value can I add that makes people want to join and stick around without overcomplicating it? The group will be for business owners + entreprenuers on how to leverage ai for their business's.

I just watched one of Nate's videos and he was talking about how people jump from one tool to another and never go deep into one, he then used himself as an example saying he got into n8n early and went deep into it. It got me thinking that n8n has been around for 2 years now, I just discovered it last week. I'm considering joining the AIS+ community to learn it. But is it really worth learning it now, or is n8n saturated and outdated.

Most business owners are buried in calls, messages, and endless follow ups. You miss one call and boom, that’s a lost client. Now I want you to try picturing having someone who never sleeps, never misses a call, and never forgets a single detail. Amazing right?? That’s what an AI Receptionist does. It’s a smart voice agent that answers inquiries, books appointments, checks your calendar, and handles your client communication while you focus on your work. Who can use it? Literally anyone who deals with customers, small business owners, coaches, service providers, freelancers…Doesn't matter if you are a solo or part of a team, it keeps your business running 24/7. Here’s what it actually solves: - Missed calls and lost leads - Late replies that make you look “unavailable” - Wasted hours typing the same responses - Constant interruptions when you’re deep in work While most people are still doing everything manually, others are quietly using AI to run smoother and grow faster. And the best part? It doesn’t cost much to get started, just a smart setup. Your competitors are already using tools like this to work smarter, not harder. Why wait until you have to catch up? Would you trust an AI receptionist to handle your customer calls and bookings? Let’s talk about how it can actually fit your business.
