I’m working on building AI-backed sms phone numbers for lead generation campaigns needing 24/7 or multilingual support. Less friction than downloading apps or interfacing with chat bots, and just as powerful.

Tell me more. What's a typical use case?

  • Typical use case can be someone's running an existing campaign (ads, billboard, referrals) and we add a dedicated texting number as the 24/7/multilingual layer on top. No new spend, just coverage after hours or in Spanish etc. Can also serve as the primary feature of a new campaign, admittedly a novel approach but I see there being potential to provide a new channel to reach users where they already are (sms) in extremely saturated markets.

    I work mainly with law firms, there are some potential examples on my website if you're curious: https://fractional-engineer.com/sms-intake.

    Happy to chat more.

    • The trickest part of this, and maybe you have solved this is procuring phone numbers for clients. Twilio has put up a TON of friction on getting SMS numbers. I know this because we are doing this on behalf of some very large institutions. Love the idea though!
