This is absolutely incredible. I'm jumping careers (from a successful high profile career) to concentrate on this - and have been checking out loads of videos and tutorials (and post grad studies) - but this is by far the best explanation of this. Thank you Ibrahim - best of luck to you with this dude.
This is amazing man! The information you gave was super high level, and I could understand it as a beginner. I really respect you for making this and I look to watching more of your content in the future. Keep it up man you're doing great!
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I’m currently developing AI phone services for local businesses and actively researching optimal solutions. Your insights are timely as I prepare to launch my email campaign to my ideal customer profile
Hey Cameron, thanks for the suggestion! I have a video on how to create transient assistants for outbound calling, but if you're referring to transient assistants in a Squad, I can definitely keep that in mind!
Thanks Niklas! For your question, I am not sure I understand what you mean. You can download Postman and then open the app and use it like that. Then during the project, you can just open it whenever you need to send a request. It doesn't have to run permanently, it can run whenever as needed. Let me know if there's anything else.
@@AliAssam01 You can change the prompt to make it for any type of situation like ecommerce, etc. Add in any custom functions for ecommerce with Make. I would suggest looking at my first video for some ideas of what you can do.
I have a question; how does it work with the phone numbers? Like so I a phone number for each assistant? I just can't figure out how they actually transfer on the phone. Thanks
Hey Aydin, so in this demo, we had all 4 assistants on the same phone number, so it didn't have to do any "real" transferring. I haven't actually tried what you're referring to inside VAPI, so I can't say for sure 100% that it's possible with VAPI's platform. But to test it out, what I would do is to make sure your phone numbers have an assistantId connected to them (can do this with a PATCH request to update assistantId field for the phone number and then setup a transferCall tool (for the initial assistant that will pick up the call) where you can transfer to different phone numbers depending on the situation. See the following links for more info: docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/phone-numbers/update-phone-number docs.vapi.ai/call-forwarding Hope this helps.
Some clients might just want the configuration of the Squad and then they take it from there (so just what I built in this video). For whitelabeling or a full dashboard solution, this VAPI Squad could be used the AI calling infrastructures and then you just build a UI around it, usually with custom code with JavaScript (maybe could try out some no-code app platforms). Probably want to setup a database as well to store user data, transcripts, recordings, summaries, etc. 2nd option will obviously be a more costly solution in terms of price and upfront work but also once you build it once, you can easily re-sell to other clients. Hope this helps.

@@firmankrisnadi7248That’s a great idea, I was actually thinking about doing a video on how to wrap this entire product around a nice custom UI. Would be a very value packed video.
At the time of this video, Claude was running faster and more accurately for me. Sonnet 3.5 also was released recently, and pretty good (just as good if not better than 4o on certain tasks). Both 4o and Claude are good choices though. If you prefer 4o, feel free to substitute that LLM in. Should accomplish the same results.
Oh i understand it but in this video in the automation check available Appointment you use Anthropic claude for create a message but you give a prompt to get a dates so i don't understand the work of Anthropic claude. Can you clear it to me?
@@UsmanFarooq-r4z Anthropic Claude which works the same way as GPT4o or any other LLM. The "Create a message" module is used to send a prompt and get the answer back from the Claude LLM. In that case, I was prompting Claude to turn my day/time into a more structured datetime. Hope that helps.
Sure, you can watch my first video which covered an VAPI inbound callers with function calling However just keep in mind that VAPI is planning to remove functions and will replace it with tools
I would double check the serverUrl to make sure it matches the Make webhook URL. Also make sure the tool description is well written and clear. And don't forget to run the Make scenario when you're trying to test the webhook. Make sure you can connect to the Airtable as well, as long as you follow the settings I have on my scenario, it should work. I would suggest fixing the webhook issue first since that could be causing some of other issues though, and then take it from there.
@@theibrahimmunir Thanks a lot for your reply. I am in the formula tab of the airtable integration but it isn't the same as in your video. I am refering to 1:11:25 . I don't have custom webhooks whenever I try to type the formula and I was wandering if just putting it up in text woild work or not.

For the second error, I'm not quite sure -- it could be a multitude of different things. It might be something with the assistants themselves, maybe the wrong assistantId was passed in or something else.
@@theibrahimmunir Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.

They are very similar, the main difference is that tools give you the ability to say certain messages before starting the tool, if the tool call is delayed, if it fails, or once it completes.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE USE OF TOOL AND FUNCTION?? CAN DO ONE VIDEO??
They are very similar, the main difference is that tools give you the ability to say certain messages before starting the tool, if the tool call is delayed, if it fails, or once it completes.
