Problem

An energy sector client needed to qualify homeowners for a subsidy program over the phone, screening for eligibility criteria before passing qualified leads onward.

System architecture
  1. 01
    Qualification script

    A voice agent asks a structured set of eligibility questions covering the homeowner's property and situation, built to match the subsidy program's specific criteria.

  2. 02
    Cross lingual build and testing

    The agent's core logic and prompts were built in English, then debugged and validated through live conversations conducted in a different language, confirming the conversational flow held up across languages.

  3. 03
    Outcome routing

    Based on the answers given, the system determines whether the caller qualifies and routes the outcome accordingly (qualified lead handoff vs. disqualified/closed).

Result in production

A voice agent that reliably screens for program eligibility in a live conversation, in more than one language.

Who this pattern fits

Originally built for the energy sector, the same architecture applies to any team facing a similar volume, compliance, or coordination problem. The stack (ElevenLabs, Twilio, Multilingual prompt design) is stable, self hosted where it matters, and designed to be operated by a small team without a platform crew.

What I would do differently

I would invest earlier in a proper eligibility rule engine rather than encoding rules in the agent prompt. It makes audits easier and lets non technical staff update criteria without a deploy.

Content angle

Building and testing a voice AI agent across languages. A good piece on the practical challenges of multilingual conversational AI.

Frequently asked
Which languages are supported?+

Any language ElevenLabs supports at production quality. The qualification logic itself is language agnostic and reads from a single structured questionnaire.
