US Cold Calling Compliance – TCPA, DNC & Voice AI Agents
Hey everyone 👋 I'm exploring the idea of using a voice AI agent for cold calling leads in the U.S., and I want to make sure everything I build is 100% compliant with regulations like: - TCPA (Telephone Consumer Protection Act) - National & State DNC (Do Not Call) lists - FCC rules on automated and AI-based calls I understand that the U.S. has very strict rules when it comes to outbound calls — especially when AI or pre-recorded voices are involved. From what I’ve gathered so far, things like prior express written consent, human-initiated dialing, and clear opt-out mechanisms are essential. But here’s what I’d love to know from this awesome community: 👉 Has anyone here built a voice agent (AI or otherwise) that’s fully compliant for cold calling in the U.S.? - How did you handle DNC list checks? - What platform/tools did you use for consent and compliance? - Any lessons learned or mistakes to avoid? - Is it even viable to cold call using AI legally — or better to stick to human reps? I’m building this for a healthcare-focused agency, so regulatory risk is a serious concern. If you've done something similar, or even tried and pivoted, I’d really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance! 🙏
