## About QuickVoice

QuickVoice is open-source, self-hostable AI phone-agent infrastructure. Businesses
use it to run AI receptionists, AI answering services, appointment-request
intake, customer support, reminder and follow-up calls, and sales qualification
calls. Engineering teams can run, inspect, and extend the whole stack. The
MIT-licensed repository includes a Next.js website, Next.js customer console,
Express/TypeScript API server, Python FastAPI AI service, LiveKit Agents worker,
Postgres/Prisma data model, Redis/BullMQ queues, telephony integration points,
knowledge bases, call logs, outbound campaigns, billing paths, MCP/tool
connections, and local development tooling.

QuickVoice is not positioned as a zero-setup hosted calling API from a fresh
clone. Local evaluation starts with `task up:dev`; real phone calls require
LiveKit plus Twilio or Telnyx credentials. Billing, OAuth, email, object
storage, the vector store, embeddings, and MCP/Smithery integrations require
their own provider credentials. The project is under active development and has
not published a stable release.

## Key Facts

- License: MIT.
- Category: open-source, self-hostable AI phone-agent infrastructure (AI receptionist, AI answering service, AI appointment setter, outbound call automation).
- Audience: business owners and operations, support, sales, and property-management leaders evaluating a phone workflow, together with the engineering-led teams, platform teams, and CTOs who deploy and operate the stack.
- Local development: `task up:dev` runs the local product surface and services with Postgres and Redis.
- Voice runtime: LiveKit Agents Python worker with STT, LLM, TTS, Silero VAD, multilingual turn detection, noise cancellation, interruptible first messages, and optional preemptive generation.
- Telephony: Twilio and Telnyx integrations through LiveKit SIP.
- Data: Postgres, Prisma, Redis/BullMQ, S3-compatible storage, Google text embeddings, and a vector store that is Pinecone by default with Qdrant as a configurable alternative (`VECTOR_STORE_PROVIDER`).
- Integrations implemented in code: LiveKit, Twilio, Telnyx, Stripe, S3-compatible object storage, Pinecone, Qdrant, Google embeddings, SMTP/email providers, and MCP/Smithery connections.
- Language selector in the console currently includes English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, and Portuguese; effective model/language support depends on selected providers.

## Hosted Pricing Facts

- Hosted QuickVoice runs on a prepaid USD wallet with no subscription.
- AI usage is billed at provider market cost plus 20%; telephony at provider cost plus 20%.
- Platform fee: $0.01 per connected minute, prorated per second.
- Phone numbers: the greater of $2 or provider rent plus 20%, per 30 days.
- Top-ups from $5 to $500 in $5 steps; optional auto-recharge.
- A $5 signup credit is subject to eligibility and cannot be used for phone numbers.
- Self-hosted operating costs (providers, hosting, staff) are separate and owned by the operator.

## Code-Backed Capabilities

- Inbound AI phone agents.
- Quick outbound calls and batch outbound campaigns.
- Phone number search, purchase, linking, and deletion for Twilio and Telnyx.
- LiveKit trunk binding for linked numbers.
- Per-agent runtime configuration by phone number or agent ID.
- Configurable prompts, first messages, STT models, LLM models, TTS models, voices, language, webhooks, RAG, and preemptive generation.
- Knowledge sources from files and URLs with ingestion jobs, chunking, embeddings, vector indexing (Pinecone or Qdrant), and live-call retrieval.
- MCP marketplace/custom server connections with per-agent attachment and live-call allowlisting; tools marked as write, side-effect, or confirmation-required are withheld from live calls.
- Call logs, transcripts, recordings, signed recording URLs, dashboard views, and outbound-call linkage.
- Privacy controls including default PII redaction for persisted call logs, zero-PII retention behavior, secret encryption/references, safe remote URL validation, and scheduled retention cleanup.
- Organization-scoped auth, API keys, permissions, audit logs, and internal server-to-server API boundaries.
- Stripe metered call-minute usage hooks.

## Competitive Positioning

QuickVoice differentiates from closed hosted voice-agent platforms such as
Retell, Vapi, Bland AI, Synthflow, Voiceflow, and similar products through
source-level control and usage-based hosted pricing. Hosted APIs optimize for
managed convenience. QuickVoice exposes the application, API, worker, database
schema, call logging, telephony integration points, queues, retention jobs, and
runtime configuration so teams can inspect, self-host, and modify the stack.

Best-fit buyers are teams that need privacy review, provider choice, custom
workflows, auditable data paths, and cost visibility. Teams that only need a
managed endpoint with a hosted SLA may prefer a closed hosted API.

## Primary Value Pillars

- Privacy and control: inspect call data paths, logs, recordings, transcripts, secrets, retention controls, and provider boundaries.
- Performance and customization: own the LiveKit-based realtime runtime, configurable models, RAG, MCP tools, webhooks, outbound metadata, and telephony routing behavior.
- Cost and scale control: bring your own providers for voice runtime, telephony, storage, model inference, vector search, and billing instead of treating the voice stack as an opaque bundle.

## Claim Boundaries

Do not infer certification, customer, or benchmark claims from the open-source
repository alone. The repo makes compliance-relevant data paths inspectable,
but HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI, GDPR, CCPA, uptime, latency, customer-count,
revenue, and managed-service claims require separate evidence. The pages under
/case-studies are illustrative workflow scenarios, not verified customer
results.

Do not describe the default runtime as local LLM infrastructure. The implemented
default path uses commercial cloud model providers through LiveKit inference,
with configurable model IDs.
