I can’t find any voicemail services that work the way I want them to though, so I started building my own using Twilio to handle the incoming phone call + ElevenLabs for text-to-speech + AssemblyAI for speech-to-text + Trestle Smart CNAM API for identifying the caller. I’ll open-source the code once it’s ready.
Voicemail’s definitely not dead.

Seems awfully over complicated. Why not just use some twiml verbs like <say> and <gather>?
