Talk to the DGF concierge
This is the $0 voice-agent recipe — a complete blueprint for running a voice concierge on Google Cloud free quotas. Hear our live phone receptionist Jordan right now, or run the stack yourself.
Hear Jordan Live on a Real Phone Line
To honor our site-wide privacy policy (Permissions-Policy: microphone=()) and protect free quotas from unauthenticated bot scraping, the experimental in-browser microphone demo is offline.
Instead, test our production voice receptionist running live on a real telephone line:
Real PSTN call • Free to dial • Answers 24/7 • Production Vapi + Twilio stack • Recorded for quality
The honest boundaries — same ones we published
- $0 inside the quotas. Cloud Run hosts it, Speech-to-Text hears it (60 free min/mo — this demo caps at 50), Text-to-Speech voices it (~1M free chars/mo, standard voices only), a free-tier LLM answers. Quotas checked 2026-10-21.
- Billing is still enabled. GCP requires it; a $0.01 budget alert is the tripwire. Past a free ceiling it's a metered bill — which is why this demo enforces hard caps server-side.
- Browser only vs. a real phone number. A real phone line means PSTN, and PSTN is always paid. Our production receptionist Jordan runs on the paid Vapi + Twilio path — the $0 GCP recipe is the proof-of-concept, not the phone product.
- The meter is the honesty. When the monthly voice meter fills, the recipe below still stands — $0 buys proof, not production.
