AI Receptionist System / Twilio / OpenAI / Retell AI / Supabase
Company Overview

We are an Australian real estate sales and project marketing business looking for a reliable part-time developer to maintain and improve an existing AI receptionist system.

This is a remote freelance / part-time role suitable for a developer with solid backend, API integration, automation, and AI voice system experience.

Project Overview

The current system is an AI receptionist that handles inbound phone enquiries, speaks with callers, captures caller details, matches enquiries to property projects, and sends lead notifications to the correct salesperson.

The first priority is to maintain and stabilise the current V1 system, fix bugs, document the setup properly, and ensure the system runs reliably. Once V1 is stable, we will move into V2 upgrades as a separate paid project.

Current Tech Stack

The system currently uses:

- OpenAI API

- Retell AI

- Twilio

- Supabase

- Render

- GitHub

- SMS / email notifications

- Google Sheets or lead allocation logic

- Webhooks and API integrations

- Real estate project matching workflow

Key Responsibilities

The developer will be responsible for:

- Reviewing the current system architecture

- Understanding how the current AI receptionist works

- Fixing bugs in the V1 system

- Maintaining Twilio / Retell AI / OpenAI / Supabase / Render integrations

- Debugging failed calls, failed SMS, email issues, or webhook problems

- Updating project matching and lead routing logic

- Making small prompt, wording, or workflow changes

- Keeping documentation up to date

- Providing clear written updates

- Advising on future improvements for V2

Phase 1 — Paid System Audit

Audit fee: AUD $250 fixed fee.

Phase 2 — Monthly Maintenance

Expected time allocation: approximately 10–12 hours per month

Included in monthly maintenance:

- Minor bug fixes

- Prompt or logic adjustments

- Checking call flow issues

- Checking SMS / email notification issues

- Basic Supabase / Render / Twilio / Retell troubleshooting

- Response to system issues within agreed timeframe

The monthly retainer does not include major new features, large rebuilds, or V2 development.

Any work beyond the agreed monthly maintenance scope will be quoted separately before proceeding.

Phase 3 — V2 Development

Once V1 is stable, we will move to V2 development as a separate paid project.

Possible V2 features include:

- Returning caller recognition

- Better call history

- Improved agent matching

- Improved project recommendation logic

- Duplicate enquiry handling

- Better SMS / email workflow
