Description
Reaching a person at the IRS means hours of redial and hold music. Holdless does the waiting and gets the IRS to call you back — then connects you to a live agent. $50 per callback, and you pay only when we schedule one.

Could you build this?
Partial The web frontend and booking flow are trivial, but building reliable telephony infrastructure to handle automated redialing, IVR navigation, hold music detection, and human-agent detection against the IRS phone system is difficult.
What it would actually take: The backend requires Twilio or Telnyx SIP trunks integrated with custom audio processing or speech-recognition pipelines (like whisper or dual-tone audio classifiers) to reliably detect hold music transitions and IRS IVR prompts. The hard part is managing large pools of telephone lines, circumventing IRS automated hangup/blocking heuristics, and instant three-way call handoff when an IRS agent speaks. Telephony infrastructure and signal/audio classification experience are required.
