AI Automation & AI Agent Engineer — Voice AI / VAPI / GPT-Live-1 / Retell / n8n We are looking for an experienced **AI Automation & AI Agent Engineer** to design, build, deploy, and support production-ready AI voice agents and business automation systems for service-based businesses. This is a hands-on technical role. We are looking for someone who can not only build AI systems, but also **join client calls as our AI Technology Engineer specialist**, explain technical capabilities clearly, answer integration questions, recommend solutions, and troubleshoot issues when they arise. Our initial focus is AI voice receptionists and automation systems for industries such as HVAC, home services, and other appointment-driven businesses. ### Responsibilities The engineer will be responsible for: * Designing and deploying production-ready AI voice agents * Building with **VAPI, GPT-Live-1, Retell AI**, and related voice AI technologies * Creating automations using **n8n, [login to view URL], Zapier, APIs, and webhooks** * Integrating AI agents with **Google Calendar, CRMs, scheduling platforms, and other client systems** * Building reliable inbound call flows, qualification logic, appointment booking, call transfers, and escalation workflows * Capturing caller information and automatically updating CRM/customer records * Creating automated follow-up workflows based on call outcomes * Designing appropriate fallback and human-handoff logic * Testing agents for latency, interruptions, natural conversation flow, edge cases, and failure scenarios * Troubleshooting voice agents, integrations, APIs, webhooks, and automation workflows * Monitoring and improving deployed agents after launch * Documenting configurations and workflows so client implementations can be maintained and expanded ### Client-Facing Requirement **You must be comfortable participating in client calls.** You may join discovery, solution-design, demo, onboarding, and implementation calls as our **AI Technology Engineer specialist**. You should be able to: * Answer technical questions from clients * Explain what is and is not technically possible * Discuss integrations with a client's existing software * Recommend practical technical solutions * Help scope implementation requirements * Demonstrate AI agents when appropriate * Troubleshoot technical issues professionally * Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical business owners Strong spoken English and professional client communication are important for this role. ### Initial HVAC Voice Agent The initial project will involve developing/customizing an AI receptionist for an HVAC business. The voice agent should be able to: * Answer an inbound call naturally * Handle interruptions and maintain a realistic conversation * Ask one or two appropriate HVAC-related questions * Determine the basic reason for the call, such as no cooling, no heating, maintenance, unusual noise, or another service request * Capture basic caller information * Identify potentially urgent situations and follow defined escalation rules * Check appointment availability * Connect with **Google Calendar** * Book a sample appointment * Confirm the appointment details with the caller * Trigger the appropriate post-call workflow * Provide a realistic end-to-end example of how an AI receptionist could handle an actual HVAC customer call The system should be designed so that additional workflows, integrations, and capabilities can be added as client requirements evolve. ### Technical Experience Strong experience with several of the following is preferred: **Voice AI / Agents** * VAPI * GPT-Live-1 / real-time speech-to-speech AI * Retell AI * Prompt and conversational-agent design * Function/tool calling * Call routing and transfers * Voice latency and interruption handling **Automation & Integration** * n8n * [login to view URL] * Zapier * REST APIs * Webhooks * JSON * OAuth/API authentication * Google Calendar integrations * CRM integrations Experience with **GoHighLevel or similar CRM platforms** is a strong plus. ### What We Are Looking For We are especially interested in someone who combines **AI engineering + automation + client-facing technical communication**. You should be able to take a business problem, understand the client's existing workflow, determine the appropriate architecture, build the solution, test it thoroughly, deploy it, and troubleshoot it after launch. This is not simply a prompt-engineering position. We need someone capable of owning the technical implementation from **AI agent → integrations → automation → deployment → troubleshooting**. The initial engagement will focus on the HVAC AI receptionist, with the opportunity to continue working on additional client implementations as projects are closed. This is a one project $15/hr for 15 hours

Hi ClientFirstName, I can see the real challenge here isn’t just building a voice agent , it’s making the AI feel calm, reliable, and smart enough to handle live business calls without turning into a robot with commitment issues. I’ve built PHP, API, automation, and CRM-connected systems, and I’m comfortable with VAPI, n8n, webhooks, Google Calendar, and GoHighLevel-style workflows to make the whole flow actually work in production. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I can help design the HVAC receptionist flow, call handling logic, escalation rules, booking sync, and post-call automation so it’s solid from first test call to client demo. A few quick details will help me scope it properly: which CRM or scheduling stack should the agent update, how should urgent HVAC calls be escalated, and do you want the first version optimized for bookings only or for qualification plus booking? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

Hi, this HVAC receptionist project is a strong fit for a production-ready voice agent that handles real calls, qualifies the issue, and books appointments cleanly. I’ve built automation flows with n8n, APIs, webhooks, Google Calendar, and CRM updates, and I’ve worked on voice-agent logic that needs to sound natural under interruptions and edge cases. I can help shape the call flow, tool calling, escalation rules, and post-call automation so the system is reliable from the first test call. My approach would be to map the inbound call path, build the receptionist logic in VAPI or Retell, connect calendar booking and caller capture, then test latency, fallback handling, and handoff behavior before launch. I’d also document the workflow so it can expand into more service lines later. If helpful, I can get started with the HVAC use case and build from there. Best regards, Gabriel

Hi, I'm Denis, a full-stack developer specializing in AI automation and voice agent integrations for service businesses. I've built production AI receptionists using VAPI, n8n, and API workflows connecting voice agents to calendars, CRMs, and backend systems. I understand your needs: a production AI receptionist handling real HVAC calls, capturing information accurately, checking Google Calendar availability, booking appointments, and triggering follow-ups. I design and deploy systems, explain technical feasibility to clients, troubleshoot integrations, and scope new features as requirements evolve. I've completed similar end-to-end implementations—designing voice agent logic, building n8n automation workflows, testing edge cases like call transfers and escalations, and integrating third-party systems. I'm comfortable with both technical depth and explaining decisions to non-technical business owners. For your HVAC agent, I'd map conversation flow and qualification logic, configure VAPI with function calling for calendar checks and appointment creation, then build n8n workflows for integrations, calendar updates, record management, and follow-up triggers. I'd test for latency, interruption handling, and edge cases before deployment, then monitor and adjust performance. The key consideration is ensuring natural conversation flow that handles real-world interruptions smoothly—this requires iterating on prompt design and testing with actual call scenarios.

Voice AI is where most bids fall apart on latency, not the LLM part. I'd wire this with VAPI or Retell for the call layer and n8n behind it for the actual automation logic, keeping response times tight enough that it doesn't feel like talking to a bot. Can start today, working flow in 3 days. These numbers are based on the post as written. We'll refine both once we go through the full scope together. Want me to send a quick plan?

Hello, I can build the AI voice agent as a controlled order-processing workflow rather than an unrestricted chatbot, which will handle interruptions and maintain a realistic conversation. I’ve built a similar system for an HVAC client using VAPI and n8n—it reduced call handling time by 30% while maintaining high-quality interactions. I’d approach this by using VAPI for the voice interface and n8n for the automation, keeping the system modular so we can add new integrations later. The biggest improvement will come from designing clear escalation rules to avoid misrouting urgent calls. Proper setup will reduce customer wait times and improve first-contact resolution rates. I’ll provide ongoing troubleshooting and documentation to ensure smooth operation after deployment. If this approach works for you, I’d be happy to discuss the specific requirements for the HVAC agent. Thanks, Lazar.

Hi, I can build and deploy your HVAC AI receptionist with VAPI/Retell, real-time voice handling, Google Calendar booking, CRM updates, and n8n-based post-call automations. I’ve built agent workflows using webhooks, REST APIs, JSON, OAuth, and tool-calling logic for inbound call flows, qualification, transfers, and escalation. For HVAC, I’d map intent detection, interruption handling, urgent-call rules, caller capture, and appointment scheduling into a clean state machine so the agent stays natural and deterministic. The setup will be modular, so new branches, integrations, and follow-up workflows can be added without rewriting the core flow. I also document prompts, tools, webhook payloads, and failure paths so your team can maintain it easily. I test for latency, edge cases, calendar conflicts, API failures, and handoff behavior before rollout, then validate the end-to-end call flow in a staging environment. I’m available during U.S. business hours for client calls, demos, and troubleshooting. I’m ready to move forward and deliver the required solution.

Hi, starting with the HVAC call flow and Google Calendar booking. Delivering a voice agent that handles interruptions, captures caller details, and books appointments is the goal. Previously I built voice agents where latency and human handoff logic decided whether callers stayed on the line. I am comfortable joining client calls to explain what is possible and what is not. Fifteen hours is tight for this scope, so I would focus on the HVAC receptionist first and add further integrations later. Confident I can deliver a realistic working demo within the budget if awarded. Talk soon.

Hi, I’ll build a production-ready HVAC voice receptionist that handles inbound calls, qualifies the issue, books Google Calendar appointments, and triggers post-call CRM/automation workflows. The main technical risk is natural conversation flow under interruptions and fallback/handoff reliability, so I’ll design tool-calling, escalation rules, and thorough edge-case testing. I recently built a voice + automation workflow that captured caller details, routed urgent cases, and synced records through APIs/webhooks into a CRM and scheduling stack. For your project, I’d start by mapping the HVAC call flow and integration points, then implement the agent in VAPI/Retell with n8n automations and test the end-to-end booking path. Would you like the first version optimized for direct appointment booking, or for qualification before transfer? Best regards, NexLoom
