Peake.ai: We Built Our Own AI Phone System in 1 Hour

When the solution does not exist, you build it yourself.

The Problem

We were sick of it.

Every VoIP provider we tried had the same issues:

Our outbound team needed to make calls. They needed contact information. They needed it to be simple. Every existing solution failed at least one of these requirements.

The Decision

On a Friday afternoon, frustrated after another hour wrestling with VoIP configurations, we made a decision: we would build our own.

Not a prototype. Not a demo. A real, working phone system.

V1: Live in 60 Minutes

Using AI-assisted development, we shipped V1 in exactly one hour:

What V1 Included:

The Stack:

By 5:30 PM on that Friday, we were making real calls from a browser. No installs. No configurations. Just a URL.

Hour 2: LangChain Automations

We did not stop at basic calling. Within another hour, we had LangChain-powered automations running:

AI Contact Discovery

Paste any website URL. The AI scrapes and analyzes the page, finding:

No more manual research. No more copy-pasting from LinkedIn. Paste a URL, get contact info.

Call Context Preparation

Before each call, the AI:

Real-Time Assistance

During calls:

The Philosophy: Humans Lead, AI Empowers

This is not a robot calling people.

Peake.ai is a tool for real humans making real calls. The AI handles the tedious parts:

The human handles what humans do best:

We believe outbound calling should be done by people who care about the conversation. AI should remove friction, not replace connection.

Why We Are Sharing This

This case study exists for two reasons:

The Lesson

Sometimes the best solution is the one you build yourself.

We spent months evaluating VoIP providers, comparing feature matrices, negotiating contracts. The answer was not in any of those spreadsheets.

The answer was: stop fussing with clunky configs and just code it.

Two hours later, we had exactly what we needed. No compromises. No unnecessary features. No enterprise pricing.
