Call the DMV to schedule an appointment with a voice agent
Olivia Moore built a voice agent in under 30 minutes that phoned the DMV and scheduled an appointment for her.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- She cloned her voice in Eleven Labs from one minute of audio then connected it to a Vapi assistant using GPT-4 Turbo. She entered the DMV phone number, appointment purpose, her DOB and preferred dates into the prompt, bought a $2 Twilio number, and triggered the outbound call; the agent handled key presses and DMV-bot confirmations unaided.
- How it went
- It scheduled the appointment after one or two prompt tweaks; each call cost under $0.40 and logs showed it navigated the system well enough to succeed.
- Worth knowing
- Full build took under 30 minutes using only Eleven Labs and Vapi.
Try it yourself with Lindy
Build a voice agent that phones [office name, e.g. my local DMV] at [phone number] and asks for an appointment for [service] in the next [number] weeks, preferably [days and times]. It should say it is an AI assistant calling for me, [my name]. Have it send me the best available slots by text and not confirm anything until I reply.
