AI voice agents that answer every call.
We engineer voice systems that sound like your best receptionist — always on, always calm, and integrated with the tools you already run.
Human phone coverage doesn't scale.
Adding headcount for call volume is expensive, slow, and inconsistent. Off-the-shelf IVR menus lose the caller by prompt three. Neither option gets you the calm, competent conversation your brand deserves.
Every Forge Labs engagement is scoped, architected, and owned by an engineer. See how it fits in the full service directory.

Purpose-built for the way you actually operate.
Every voice agent we deploy is trained on your intake scripts, your escalation rules, and the exact fields your CRM expects. There are no generic flows and no visible seams — the caller hears one voice, and the work lands in the right place.
Integrated with the systems that matter.
Calendar bookings, CRM writes, follow-up SMS, and internal notifications happen inside a single automated pass. When the call ends, the record is already routed.
Answers, on the record.
- What is an AI voice agent?
- An AI voice agent is a phone-based conversational system built on real-time speech-to-text, a large language model, and text-to-speech — deployed over a telephony provider like Twilio or Vapi. It can answer inbound calls, qualify leads, book appointments, and log every conversation to a CRM autonomously.
- How natural does an AI voice agent sound?
- Modern voice agents built on ElevenLabs or Deepgram achieve sub-500ms turn latency and human-quality prosody. Most callers do not identify them as AI when the system is engineered with proper interruption handling, backchannels, and business-specific tone.
- How much does an AI voice agent cost?
- Custom AI voice agents typically range from $6,000 to $25,000 to build, plus $0.08–$0.20 per minute in usage costs (telephony, model inference, and TTS). Pricing depends on integration complexity, call volume, and the number of intents the agent handles.
- Which platforms can Forge Labs deploy voice agents on?
- Forge Labs builds on Twilio, Vapi, Retell, and custom SIP infrastructure, using OpenAI, Anthropic, or Groq for reasoning, and ElevenLabs or Deepgram for voice. Every stack is chosen per client based on latency, cost, and integration needs.
- Can an AI voice agent integrate with my CRM and calendar?
- Yes. Forge Labs voice agents integrate natively with HubSpot, Salesforce, GoHighLevel, Cal.com, Calendly, and Google Calendar. Custom CRMs are supported via API. Every call produces a structured record, transcript, summary, and next-action.
