AI voice agents sound like the future… but the hidden cost stack can destroy your margins. 💸🎙️
Most businesses don’t realize voice AI isn’t just “adding a microphone to a chatbot.”
Every conversation can involve:
🎙️ Speech-to-Text
🧠 LLM reasoning
🗣️ Text-to-Speech
📞 Telephony costs
The result? A huge difference in operating costs.
The smart play:
❌ Don’t waste voice AI on basic FAQs
✅ Use it where it creates revenue — sales calls, lead qualification, and high-value customer interactions.
Voice for closing. Text for support. Protect your unit economics. 📈
