Could you build this?
Partial Setting up an AI calling app using Twilio and OpenAI Realtime is doable, but achieving 2 cents/minute voice agents with DTMF, call transfers, and custom telephony infrastructure requires deep VOIP/WebRTC engineering.
What it would actually take: To hit sub-2-cent margins and real-time reliability, you cannot simply resell high-level APIs; you need a custom telephony stack (FreeSWITCH or Asterisk) integrated with low-latency self-hosted open-source speech models (Whisper/Faster-Whisper for STT, fast local LLMs, and low-latency TTS like Kokoro/Piper) over WebRTC or SIP trunks. This requires specialized VoIP protocols, audio streaming latency optimization, and infrastructure DevOps expertise.
