Hi everyone, this is Fatima (KB). I’m currently building an AI voice agent for HVAC businesses using Retell AI, and I’d really appreciate some clear guidance from people who have real-world experience. My situation: - I understand the basics of Retell AI, n8n, and Make.com - I’ve already built a simple working voice agent - But I’m confused about how to structure it properly for real clients - Different YouTube tutorials suggest completely different approaches, which is slowing me down What I need help with: 1. Architecture - Should I focus more on a strong system prompt or build a structured conversational flow? - What’s the best way to handle real HVAC calls (bookings, inquiries, emergencies)? 2. Tech Stack - What tools are actually necessary to start selling this service? - When should I use Retell alone vs integrating n8n or Make.com? - Do I need a CRM or database from the beginning? 3. Real Business Setup - What is the minimum setup needed to start getting HVAC clients? - What features do HVAC business owners actually care about most? 4. Workflow - What should the full workflow look like from incoming call → AI handling → lead storage → follow-up? 5. Scaling - Once I get my first 5–10 clients, what should I improve or automate next? I’m trying to avoid overcomplicating things and just want a simple, practical roadmap focused on selling and delivering results. I’d be really grateful for any advice or real experiences you can share.

Got an inbound lead today. Website for his wife's restaurant. Pays by physical check only. Has a "consultant" who will send files. Needs a US representative to receive the payment. Classic The funniest part is not the scam. It's the grammar. "I only pay through Casher Check or Bank verify check" Casher. CASHER bro. 😭 We've seen this exact email before. Same wife. Same restaurant. Different name. Copy pasted the whole thing. Sir at least change the restaurant concept. We're not falling for it. We've seen it twice now. But I'm genuinely curious how many people in this community have gotten this same email? Drop a comment if you have. And scammer if you're reading this—ChatGPT is free. Use it. 😭

Hello. I'm writing in this community because I found that Chris West is interacting in here. The situation looks like he closes people for $20,000, but he does not deliver. I am in the situation that I lost $20,000, and the only thing I can do right now is to ask you guys for any help. Unfortunately, he was lying to me for one month that he issued the refund. But he didn't. If you can help me or you know anyone in the same spot, please reach out to me. There are so many people like me in the situation where we just got scammed 😞

hey Brendan when connecting to higgsfield and generating ugc can i tell it to use the characters I have created in higgsfield? i assume it would do shots and angles etc without having to edit in capcut? this would make my life so much easier!! is there a way to do this or can you just tell it to use say julia for example in a ugc tech ad ? if anyone knows the answer to this question I would appreciate the help. also this would be a good use case for affiliate products using characters so just wondering if it can do this?

Been heads down for the past month. Here's what got delivered. An AI trading app for iOS. Real-time data, clean execution, built for traders who need speed. An Airbnb-style booking platform. Full marketplace functionality, built from scratch for a client entering the rental space. A study consultant platform. Helping students navigate university applications and consultations, fully built out end-to-end. Three completely different industries. Combined value of $40,000 in delivered work. This is the part of the job nobody posts about. Not the wins, the actual weeks of back and forth, revisions, late-night calls to get it right. Grateful for the clients who trusted the process even when it wasn't fast. More projects in the pipeline. If you're building something and need a team that actually finishes what they start, you know where to find me.
