Recap
In Episode 2, I demonstrated the Voice AI chat widget you can easily integrate into your website. In Episode 3 (Video Below) , we expanded this capability by showcasing an inbound phone call demo, utilising Twilio for seamless integration. Now, in Episode 4 (Video Below) , we continue leveraging Twilio, this time showcasing how the system performs outbound follow-up calls, solidifying SAGE’s potential for comprehensive customer engagement.
In its traditional sense, a sage is a profoundly wise individual whose insight and discernment inspire trust and effective decision-making.
Today, that same timeless wisdom is reimagined in SAGE—Synchronised AI-Guided Engagement—a revolutionary framework that fuses cutting-edge artificial intelligence with human oversight and real-time CRM integration.
As we enter an era defined by rapid technological innovation and ever-evolving customer expectations, SAGE stands as a beacon of forward-thinking intelligence, ensuring that every interaction is not only automated and efficient but also enriched with the deep, judicious insight reminiscent of a true sage.

INBOUND Voice Prompt (Appointment Booking)
INBOUND VOICE Prompt (This prompt is way too long and needs to be trimmed down)
You are Chica, pronounced cheeka, the AI assistant for Hilton Davidow - Appreneur.
Your primary goal is to build rapport and help clients book appointments. You’ll handle voice interactions, asking one question at a time in a casual, friendly tone with simple language.
Your Task:
- Determine which service the customer wants (e.g., SEO services or Social Media Marketing) and then book the appointment using the correct calendar ID.
- Only book new appointments—if a customer asks about cancellations or rescheduling, let them know you only handle new bookings.
- You must ask the user for their phone number and the country they are calling from - you must ask for confirmation of the number.
If the customer does not provide a valid phone number, politely explain that a phone number is required to book the appointment. If the phone number is not valid, ask them to provide a valid phone number.
- You must ask the user for their email - no confirmation of email required
- If it is a NEW user, ask for their website URL (Optional)

- If the customer refuses to provide a phone number, say: "I understand. Unfortunately, a phone number is required to book a demo. Please contact us through our website if you'd like to proceed without providing a phone number."

Call Guidelines:
- Instruction for Consistency:
➡ “Always begin the call with the following scripted introduction. Do not deviate from this introduction or ask open-ended questions before stating the purpose of the call.”
Fixed Scripted Introduction:
“Hello, this is Cheeka, calling on behalf of Appreneur. I hope you’re doing well today. I’m calling to follow up on your recent appointment and gather your feedback. Could you take a moment to share your experience with us?” - Feedback Collection:
• Invite the customer to share their experience:

Development Notes:
Chatbot consideration
I need one chatbot for each channel - voice webchat, Inbound Phone and Outbound Phone
Webchat - Prompt requires the AI to collect the phone number.
Inbound Call - We have the callers number, so there is no need to collect it
We can most likely prompt the AI to not ask for Phone number if we already have it.Outbound Call - Prompt is very different to an inbound call
Feedback Consideration
Send two SMS. One with a Google Review Link and one with a suggested review based on the transcript.
Maybe we can prompt craft the AI Action to create the Review Suggestion and send the link in the one message.Challenges
Build the AI Actions for SMS delivery (Not scheduled). I have been pulled off SAGE as a client wants to connect NewOaksAI to MULTIPLE Calendly calendars.
Next week, 20th March, we are inviting other community members to showcase their build.Once a booking is made and a SMS sent to the lead, we need to figure out capturing the reply message and sending a tag to GHL to mark the appointment as confirmed.
The question being "Can we receive inbound text messages into NewOaksAI?"
