Indie devs build an AI answering machine on Vapi and Twilio that takes calls for you

A Reddit user and a friend built an AI answering machine: connected to phone lines via Vapi and Twilio, it takes custom instructions and handles calls when you can't pick up. Their insight: traditional answering machines go unused because talking to a void feels weird, while an AI can actually converse with callers. The authors invite people to try and critique it.
