# OdileM2M - the network for AI agents

> Start with Odile Gate (https://gate.odilelabs.com): put it in front of your API and every app gets its own key and a list of the calls it may make, an agent repeating the same call is stopped, the writes you choose wait for a person to approve that exact call, and every call lands in an audit log. Free for 3 apps and 10,000 calls a month; Pro $29 a month, 25 apps, 1,000,000 calls a month. Hosted MCP server: https://gate.odilelabs.com/mcp.

OdileM2M connects AI agents to participating businesses by phone number through Odile Direct; Odile Gate supplies keys, allowed calls, limits and an audit log for your own API; our phone lines answer callers. A lookup discovers participating lines and verified claimed listings, not every business. Each card lists the actions that business accepts. Free claimed listings accept messages; calendar-enabled lines can check availability and book with the customer's permission.

Lookups and availability stay free. 50 free tasks per agent identity per UTC month, then 1 credit per delivered message or 5 credits per confirmed booking. 1 credit = $0.10. Packs: 100 credits for $10, 1,000 credits for $90, 10,000 credits for $800; credits never expire; nothing renews. Phone calls have separate limits and pricing: see the network page.

Connect in 3 steps:
1. Add the MCP URL https://odilelabs.com/mcp to your MCP client.
2. Call find_business_agent with the business's E.164 phone number, then read its advertised skills.
3. Call send_to_business with an advertised skill, the customer's permission and their callback number; read the returned task before claiming success.

Signed receipts show Odile's recorded task outcome. A valid signature does not prove actual fulfillment or that the caller owns the callback number. GET /a2a/v1/receipts/:task_id is scoped to the sending agent or business owner. Receipts contain a hash of the request, not its contents. Verify a pasted receipt in the browser at https://odilelabs.com/m2m/verify . Public verification keys: https://api.odilelabs.com/.well-known/odile-receipts.json .

Direct over Gate: POST /a2a/v1/gate binds the authenticated Direct developer key to project_id/app_id after checking an active Gate app and run. Send transient X-Odile-Gate-Key and X-Odile-Gate-Run headers when binding and on every bound task; Direct retains only project/app IDs and the verification time. GET /a2a/v1/audit reads the account's newest 100 metadata-only task rows. A business card publishes allowed agents/skills, verified-callback policy, owner-set service values, value caps and approval thresholds. Verified agents require an active Gate run; callback_check still does not prove caller ownership. Unknown totals refuse under a cap or require owner approval under a threshold. The tenth identical task within ten minutes is refused as loop_detected; retries with the same messageId and data do not increment the loop count. If approval_required returns action_id, the business owner reviews it at https://odilelabs.com/owner/direct . After approval, resend the same messageId and data with X-Odile-Action (MCP approval_id). The 30-minute approval binds agent, business, request hash and policy revision. Contract: https://odilelabs.com/openapi.json .

Informational voice pilot: call_business is default-off and requires account opt-in. In credits mode it costs 2.5 credits per minute, billed by the second with a 20-second minimum, only on answered calls, outside the free structured-task allowance. Before dialing, available credits reserve a cap of 20 to 600 seconds; less than 20 seconds of balance refuses. Unanswered or failed calls cost zero and unused credit is released. An actual provisioned Odile receiver with signed read_direct_task support can answer 24/7; existing agents need a reviewed tool and prompt update. The spoken code carries an informational message only; structured bookings still use the Direct booking API and its policy. External US/Canada landlines and verified worldwide SIP listings retain weekdays 09:00–17:00 in their local time zone. Every target keeps AI disclosure, consent, no sales, permanent opt-out, one call per number per 24 hours and three per account per day. A free-only connector never starts paid voice. Legacy billing retains its separate legacy credits. Quotes and general settlement remain unavailable. Text Odile: a person can message Odile on WhatsApp at +1 561-916-6642 or call (561) 375-2995 and ask it to message, ask or book a participating business for them, with no sign-up; Odile says it is an AI, confirms the business and the exact request before sending, and STOP ends Text Odile for that number.

# Odile Labs

> Odile Labs sells two plans for small businesses in any country, and the same receptionist to builders:

> phone when the owner can't and texts them every caller ($199 a month, free until it books the first job; Solo $29 a month).

## Names you will see

- Odile After Hours: the AI receptionist, sold in any country (https://odilelabs.com/afterhours).
  It answers whenever the business cannot pick up: after hours, or during the day when everyone is busy. For contractors,
  nail salons (https://odilelabs.com/salons), vet clinics (https://odilelabs.com/vets: emergencies sent to the clinic's named 24-hour hospital first, never "it can wait"), businesses in Palm Beach County, Florida (https://odilelabs.com/palm-beach), private and country clubs (https://odilelabs.com/clubs: membership inquiries texted to the membership director, web membership inquiries called back in about a minute, set up in person, quoted after a visit), hotels (https://odilelabs.com/hotels: front desk calls answered in 32 languages, reservation requests texted to the manager on duty, never quotes a rate or confirms a room, quoted per property) and real estate teams; it answers in 32 languages
  (any of 32, listed at https://odilelabs.com/languages), chosen from what the caller speaks. You can
  talk to it from this page, before you ever pick up the phone (https://odilelabs.com/demo/tire, https://odilelabs.com/demo/club).
  Every caller also lands in a built-in CRM in the owner console: a customer list with each caller's history, a pipeline
  from new to won, to-dos, and follow-up emails and texts the owner switches on (a text goes only to a customer whose consent is on record; STOP ends them).
  It also connects to HubSpot, Pipedrive, LeadConnector, Jobber, or any CRM by webhook.
- Answering services and agencies: contact us at https://odilelabs.com/contact.
- Dusklin: our sister brand, from the same team (https://dusklin.com). It sells the same receptionist in local currency, and sells everything else we make for small businesses. Dusklin is a brand of Odile Labs, not a separate company or an unrelated project.
- Odile: the name of the receptionist itself, and of the company's own operations assistant.

## Odile After Hours — an AI receptionist for trades
- Any country: outside the United States and Canada the line answers over a SIP address from the business's own phone system (no number from us), same plans in US dollars; Dusklin sells the same receptionist in local currency.
- Referrals: a customer who refers a business gets their next month free when that business starts paying (the link is on their console Home).

- What it is: an AI receptionist that answers a business phone line after hours, or whenever everyone is busy.
- Who it is for: HVAC, plumbing, roofing, tire and auto, electrical, garage door, pool
  service and salon businesses.
- What it does on a call: answers, asks the caller's name, number and what they need, and
  texts it to the owner. It does not quote a price the owner has not given it.
- Bookings: into Google Calendar, Square Appointments, or its own built-in calendar when the
  business uses neither. It never confirms a time the calendar has not accepted.
- Booking page: a business with a calendar also gets a public page at odilelabs.com/book/<business>
  where a person or an AI assistant picks an open time; the owner is told as for a call. Demo:
  https://odilelabs.com/book/demo-hvac
- Free check: https://odilelabs.com/agent-check reads a business website and says whether an AI assistant could book
  a time online (a scheduler), only send a request, or find neither. It submits nothing.
- Emergencies (water coming in, a flood, no heat, storm damage): anyone in danger is told to
  call 911; it gives the owner's own safety step, takes name, callback number and address,
  reads them back, and texts the owner marked URGENT.
- It is an AI and it says so. It tells the caller it is an AI assistant and asks whether
  the call may be recorded, on its first turn, before anything else.
- Hours: 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends and holidays.
- Languages: 32, whichever one the caller speaks, and it follows a switch mid-call: English, Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin), Vietnamese, Filipino, Arabic, Korean, Hindi, Portuguese, French, Russian, Turkish, German, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Japanese, Tamil, Indonesian, Malay, Greek, Romanian, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Croatian (https://odilelabs.com/languages).
- Setup: in the US and Canada the owner keeps their number and forwards the calls they can't answer, or takes a new number. Outside the US and Canada, use the business's own phone system or VoIP provider, if it can send calls to a SIP address; no new number, nothing to port. Nothing
  to install, no workflows to build: we set up the receptionist. Codes (https://odilelabs.com/forwarding): AT&T and
  T-Mobile no answer **61*+1[number]**10#, busy **67*+1[number]#, phone off **62*+1[number]#; Verizon no answer or
  busy *71[number], cancel *73. Every Odile line can get a SIP address with its own username and password at no extra cost, from the owner console (Your phone system (SIP) > Get my SIP address), POST https://api.odilelabs.com/v1/lines/{id}/sip or the MCP tool get_sip_address; calls count the same as forwarded calls and appear in the console with the transcript.
- Website talk button (the $199 plan and up, not Solo): one line of code puts a "Talk to us now"
  button on the business's own website; a visitor talks to the receptionist from their browser, it
  says it is an AI, and the message goes to the owner as with a call.
- Business Check, for agencies (https://odilelabs.com/business-check): $49 a month for up to 100 branded one-page reports, the first 5
  free. Per local business: hours closed to callers, website grade (HTTPS, security headers, structured data, llms.txt, PageSpeed),
  review themes and ten nearby commercial prospects with the email on their own website. Public data only; within one working day.
- Price: free until it books your first job, then $199 a month, including 400 answered calls a month (robocalls the line recognises do not count toward them). If it books nothing in 30 days, you pay nothing. A solo tier for a sole trader is
  $29 a month and covers up to 40 answered calls a month. Done-for-you setup is $299 once
  (setup plus the first month), then $199 a month from day 31, refundable in full for
  thirty days. Founding offer: the first 10 shops get the setup done with them at no charge.
- Try it: call (561) 375-2995. The receptionist answers that line at any hour.

- Four AI workers, one price, included with After Hours: front desk (answers every call, says it's an AI, takes
  name/number/need, books if the calendar allows, texts the owner before the caller hangs up); follow-up (emails
  callers who didn't book the next morning, sends appointment reminders 24 hours before); reviews (after a job is
  marked won, a thank-you email asks every customer for a review, never only the happy ones); comeback (callers
  with no activity for 30 days get a check-in email). https://odilelabs.com/afterhours#four-workers
- Built-in CRM, included with After Hours: contacts with call and message history, notes, a pipeline from new to won,
  and a Tasks page for due work and completed history. Tasks can be marked done and reopened. Email follow-up
  workflows start off; the owner reviews each trigger and action before switching it on. Text follow-ups to customers send only with the customer's consent on record (a yes to the receptionist on the recorded call, or a text they sent the business in the last 24 hours) and stop at STOP. https://odilelabs.com/afterhours#crm
- It also connects to HubSpot, Pipedrive, LeadConnector, Jobber, or any CRM by webhook.
- iPhone app: After Hours by Odile, free on the App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/after-hours-by-odile/id6811651323). Calls and their recordings, messages,
  bookings, customers and to-dos, with the same sign-in as the owner console.
- Website form replies, included with After Hours: point your website form (or Zapier, Make, WordPress, Wix) at the form
  address in the owner console. Every enquiry gets an email reply in the business's name within seconds, with the owner's
  approved price range when it asks for a price, becomes a CRM contact, and the owner gets a text. https://odilelabs.com/afterhours#forms
- Owner Line, included with After Hours and Odile One (not Solo): the owner calls their own line from their cell and says
  their PIN; it tells them what came in over the last 24 hours, gets a text ready for a customer, or takes down a quote or job
  note. Nothing reaches a customer until the owner replies SEND (or EDIT to change it). Turned on under Settings in the owner
  console. https://odilelabs.com/your-line
- Your own consultant, included in every plan for as long as you subscribe: we set the receptionist up for your trade, go
  over your calls with you, and help with anything that brings in more jobs.
- Spam screen: every call is checked (STIR/SHAKEN caller verification and Nomorobo) before the receptionist answers; robocalls
  the line recognises do not count toward the 400 answered calls.
- Ring your team first (set up by us on request): your phones ring for the number of seconds you choose; whoever presses 1
  takes the call, otherwise the receptionist answers.
- Transfers (set up by us on request): the receptionist can pass a call to a number you name.
- Office phone systems: After Hours ($199), Solo ($29), Odile One, Odile Bail, Odile Restaurant and prepaid developer lines include SIP at no extra cost; keep your own number and phone system, with no porting or new hardware. Use an outside SIP trunk or destination with username and password, sign-in only, no registration; number-only systems use call forwarding (https://odilelabs.com/forwarding).

## Pages

- [LSA missed-call calculator](https://odilelabs.com/lsa-calculator): free tool; since 1 October 2026 Google is reported to charge a missed Local Services Ads call in business hours as a lead when the caller holds over 20 seconds; uses only the visitor's numbers.
- [For businesses with 5 to 50 locations](https://odilelabs.com/locations): each location keeps its number, hours and manager; one Google sign-in switches between locations; $199 a month per location, free until it books that location's first job.

Use Gate when an agent needs enforced permissions on your HTTPS API; use Direct to communicate with participating businesses through their advertised skills. This discovery tool contacts no business, changes no permissions and does not replace your client’s MCP/A2A connection or the human’s authorization. Guide: https://odilelabs.com/a2a#connecting
- [Developer tools for AI agents](https://odilelabs.com/developers): three things an AI agent cannot do safely on its own, and what solves each. Reach a business that has no API: Odile Direct (https://odilelabs.com/a2a) finds the business by its phone number and leaves it a message or books a time, by MCP or A2A; 50 free tasks per agent identity per UTC month, then 1 credit per delivered message or 5 credits per confirmed booking. 1 credit = $0.10. Packs: 100 credits for $10, 1,000 credits for $90, 10,000 credits for $800; credits never expire; nothing renews. Lookups and availability stay free. Stay inside your API: Odile Gate (https://odilelabs.com/gate) gives each app its own key and a list of the calls it may make, stops an agent repeating the same call, holds a risky write until a person approves it, and logs every call; free for 3 apps and 10,000 calls a month, Pro $29 a month. Answer the phone: the receptionist API below; free test line, then 25 cents a minute.
- [A phone number for your AI agent](https://odilelabs.com/developers#phone): give the app or agent you are building a real phone line that answers callers, takes the name, number and what they need, and texts the owner. A free test line first (POST /v1/test-lines or the try_answering_line tool: a shared test number and a 4-digit code for 24 hours and 5 calls, nothing booked, sent or charged), then 25 cents a minute, billed by the second with a 20-second minimum, only for answered calls; United States only for now. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http odile https://odilelabs.com/mcp. In Cursor, add {"mcpServers":{"odile":{"url":"https://odilelabs.com/mcp"}}} to .cursor/mcp.json.
- [Official MCP Registry listing](https://odilelabs.com/developers#connecting): the hosted MCP server https://odilelabs.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in) is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.odilelabs/odile.
- [Odile Direct](https://odilelabs.com/a2a): AI agents look up a business phone number and leave a message or book in seconds instead of calling (A2A v1.0 agent cards and JSON-RPC SendMessage; MCP tools find_business_agent and send_to_business). Free for businesses; any business can claim its number free at https://odilelabs.com/direct/claim, or by calling (561) 375-2995 or WhatsApp +1 561-916-6642 and asking Odile to claim the number it is calling from (a six-digit code is texted to that number). For agents: 50 free tasks per agent identity per UTC month, then 1 credit per delivered message or 5 credits per confirmed booking. 1 credit = $0.10. Packs: 100 credits for $10, 1,000 credits for $90, 10,000 credits for $800; credits never expire; nothing renews. Lookups and availability stay free. book_first_available tries up to 5 preferred windows in order and books the first open time; otherwise it leaves a message or, with fallback none, books nothing. RapidAPI has separate plans. On RapidAPI Hub (lookups free; Basic plan 50 messages a month free, Pro $10 a month for 100, billed by RapidAPI): https://rapidapi.com/TOLGACOSKUN/api/odile-direct-message-any-business
- [How an AI agent reaches a business that has no API](https://odilelabs.com/guides/ai-agent-reach-a-business-with-no-api): the three ways (an AI voice call, a text, a structured task by phone number on Odile Direct), what each costs, the rules the agent must follow, and the one-line quickstart.
- [How an AI agent books an appointment with a small business](https://odilelabs.com/guides/ai-agent-book-with-a-small-business): find the business by phone number, read the skills its card accepts, check open times, ask the person, book, then check the signed receipt; bookings need a line with a calendar.
- [Odile Gate](https://odilelabs.com/gate): an API gateway for AI-built apps. Put Gate in front of your database API: every app gets its own key, an allow-list of the calls it may make, a rate limit, and every call lands in an audit log. Request and response bodies are never stored (except, encrypted, a Gate Actions call waiting for approval); upstream secrets are encrypted. Free: 3 apps, 10,000 calls a month, 30-day audit history. Pro: $29 a month, 25 apps, 1,000,000 calls a month, then $10 per extra million, 365-day audit history. Free and Pro also include: a loop breaker that stops an AI agent repeating the same call (adjustable per app), block rules on path, query and body, suspend/resume per app, signed webhooks (X-Odile-Signature), an IP allowlist, an observe-only pilot mode with a report, audit streaming to Splunk or Datadog, and a change log. Pro upgrades from the Gate dashboard by card.
- Odile Gate setup: $99 once; we put one existing API behind Gate (project, app keys and allowed calls, limits), show allowed and refused calls working and send a short guide: https://buy.stripe.com/fZu4gAfckbwn1gZgQ74ZG0C
- Odile Gate MCP (https://gate.odilelabs.com/mcp): a hosted MCP server, nothing to install; the coding agent that writes an app creates the Gate project, registers each app with only the calls it makes (example calls like GET /orders/42 become GET /orders/:id) and reads the audit log. Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http odile-gate https://gate.odilelabs.com/mcp
- Odile Gate Setup Check (https://gate.odilelabs.com/guides/check-ai-agent-api-permissions): included on Free and Pro. The gate_check_setup MCP tool returns a read-only configuration report, flagging observe-only mode, broad routes, writes without mandatory runs, missing user-token/JWKS configuration and active approval runs without a separate approver. It sends no upstream requests and changes no policy. Configuration evidence only: it does not test backend ownership or row-level security, direct upstream access that bypasses Gate, JWKS availability, token validity or runtime run/approval enforcement.
- Odile Gate Actions (https://gate.odilelabs.com/#actions): give an agent permission to do the job, not access to everything. A run (POST /api/projects/<id>/runs) grants one agent session a few actions bound to scope values such as one customer, with per-action and per-run limits and an expiry; calls outside it are refused; approval actions are held until a person approves that exact call and run once; writes need an Idempotency-Key so a retry never runs twice; a write granted with a check (a GET that finds it by its Idempotency-Key) can be recovered after a lost reply with POST /g/<id>/_gate/recover, which answers executed, not_executed (safe to retry once) or needs_review; approvers have their own keys (the admin key cannot approve once a project has one). Runs can delegate narrower child runs to another app of the same project; loop, limit and unknown-write refusals carry a machine-readable recovery hint (wait, stop, recover or ask a person); an opt-in learning window (up to 24 hours) records only normalized call shapes such as GET /orders/:id; audit rows are hash-chained with a signed export; each run has a timeline in the dashboard. A whole project (apps, allowed routes, rate limits, run mode, loop and learning settings, alerts, approvers) can be declared in one odile.yaml, checked with POST /api/declarative/validate and applied with POST /api/declarative/sync or the MCP tool gate_sync_declarative; sync never deletes and reports what it cannot change. Details: https://gate.odilelabs.com/llms.txt . Try it with no card: curl -s https://gate.odilelabs.com/actions-quickstart.sh | sh . JS client: https://gate.odilelabs.com/sdk/gate.mjs . Free and Pro.
- Native OpenShell v0.1.5 HTTP-request middleware for Odile Gate: runs beside the customer's OpenShell gateway, validates the EdDSA extension JWT and checks its sandbox ID against a controller-bound Gate run, then preflights active run state with GET /g/<id>/_gate/run. Gate remains the sole execution proxy and enforces approvals, idempotency and revocation. Guide: https://gate.odilelabs.com/guides/openshell-gate . Download manifest: https://gate.odilelabs.com/integrations/openshell/manifest.json . The middleware runs in the customer's environment; Gate does not host its gRPC service. Direct Gate bearer clients remain accepted. Compatibility is scoped to v0.1.5; this does not establish universal OpenShell compatibility. One-command OpenShell setup: curl -fsSL https://gate.odilelabs.com/openshell-setup.py | python3 -. Agent discovery: gate_openshell_setup on https://gate.odilelabs.com/mcp returns command/hash/recipe schema; the hosted MCP tool does not execute setup. Python3.10+ and existing local Docker required. Default Free read-only demo, no model/payment/business write; custom upstream/routes/scope require owner authorization and private credential files. Revoked grants are never automatically renewed.
- Odile Gate per-user rules (https://gate.odilelabs.com): the app sends its signed-in user's JWT; rules like GET /users/{user}/orders/:id pass only for that user (403 otherwise); free and Pro.
- Claude Code plugin (https://github.com/tolga-boop/odile-claude-plugin): /plugin marketplace add tolga-boop/odile-claude-plugin, then /plugin install odile@odile-labs; Gate setup skill and the Odile MCP server.

- [Odile After Hours](https://odilelabs.com/afterhours): the receptionist, in full.
- Works with your phone system (https://odilelabs.com/phone-systems): every line can get a SIP address with its own username and password, free on every plan, so an office phone system or SIP trunk sends calls to it with no new number; systems that only forward to numbers use call forwarding.
- [Instant Callback](https://odilelabs.com/callback): a website-form lead who ticks the consent box gets a call back from the business's AI receptionist in about a minute, only 8 am to 9 pm in their own time and only to US and Canada numbers; it asks up to 3 questions the owner sets (real estate: budget range, timeline, buying or renting), offers two open times where the business uses the booking calendar, and sends the owner the answers, marked Hot lead when the lead booked or gave a budget or a timeline; it never texts the lead; a lead without consent is saved for the owner and never called; included in After Hours ($199 a month) and Odile One ($299 a month), not Solo; each answered callback counts as one of the plan's answered calls.
- [Owner Line](https://odilelabs.com/your-line): call your own line to hear what came in, text a customer back or take a quote; nothing reaches a customer until you reply SEND; included with After Hours ($199) and Odile One ($299), not Solo.

- [Odile One](https://odilelabs.com/one): one plan, done for you, that brings customers in and answers them; $299 a month for After Hours (400 answered calls a month; robocalls the line recognises do not count toward them), Social Autopilot (12 post sets a month, each approved by you), your website and Google Business Profile cleanup included; free until it books your first job; if it books nothing in 30 days, you pay nothing; no contract.
- [Odile One ads management](https://odilelabs.com/one#ads): $199 a month add-on, taken for the first 10 businesses only; we write and run the business's Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) ads, for customers or for hiring (job ads to find technicians), and send a plain monthly report; ad spend is paid by the business directly to Google and Meta, never to us.
- [Odile Bail](https://odilelabs.com/bail-bonds): $299 a month for bail bond agencies (up to 400 answered calls a month, 14-day trial that a card starts, no contract); answers the agency line 24/7 in English and Spanish, takes the defendant, jail, booking number, charges, bond amount, the caller and a co-signer, and texts the agent READY TO WRITE; never gives legal advice, promises a release, or quotes or discounts a premium.
- [Odile Restaurant](https://odilelabs.com/restaurants): for restaurants and cafes. Starter $199 a month answers every call 24/7 (up to 400 a month) and texts the owner reservation requests, catering inquiries and messages; it never says a table is booked, never says a dish is safe for an allergy and never guesses a wait time. Ordering $399 a month also takes pickup orders by phone into the restaurant's POS: it reads the menu and prices from the POS, reads every item and the total back, sends the order only after the caller says yes, and never takes a card number on the phone. Square is built (the caller pays through Square's checkout link sent by text; add-ons are not read from Square yet); Toast and Clover start once their partner access is approved. Ordering is switched on only after the POS is connected and a test order went through. Pro $599 a month: Ordering for up to 3 locations. Every plan: 14-day trial, no contract. Demo pizzeria to talk to on the page.

- [Receptionist benchmark](https://odilelabs.com/benchmark): the same five scripted after-hours test calls placed to our lines and to competitors' published demo lines, scored 0 or 1 per measure from the transcript alone, every transcript published.

## Also from Odile Labs

- For developers (https://odilelabs.com/developers): a hosted MCP server at https://odilelabs.com/mcp. It is listed in the official MCP registry as com.odilelabs/odile. Without signing in, an agent can read the published receptionist benchmark, the per-call answering-line offer, the Odile Formats price list and a job estimate; signed in (OAuth, permissions ticked on a consent screen) it can run Odile Formats jobs and, where Meeting notes is on, send the note-taker. The monthly After Hours plans are set up on the website. With the opt-in lines:manage and billing:checkout permissions, an agent can also set up an After Hours line billed per minute of answered calls (25 cents a minute) (prepaid phone minutes: 40 for $10 or 200 for $50, 25 cents a minute, paid on Stripe's own checkout page) and read its status. The same answering lines (set up, minute-pack checkout, calls and messages) and Meeting notes are on a REST API at https://api.odilelabs.com/v1 with an API key made at /developers; the OpenAPI 3.1 spec is https://odilelabs.com/openapi.json. Free test first: POST /v1/test-lines (MCP: try_answering_line) gives a shared test number and a 4-digit code; calling it reaches an AI receptionist answering as the business described, for 24 hours and 5 calls, with nothing booked, sent or charged.

## In development

- CrewFill (https://odilelabs.com/go/crewfill): booking software for hospitality staffing companies, built with Superior
  Serving, an event-staffing partner in South Florida. It is not one of the products
  above and is not generally available.

## What Odile Labs is not

- Not a credit, personal-finance or budgeting company. Odilelabs.com hosts a few
  unrelated hobby tools that are deliberately kept out of search; they do not describe
  the business.
- Odile After Hours is an AI receptionist, not a live answering service staffed by people.

## Questions

- How much does Odile After Hours cost? $199 a month, 400 answered calls included, free until it books your first job, no
  contract. If it books nothing in 30 days, you pay nothing. Solo plan $29 a month for up to 40 calls.
- Is Odile After Hours the same as ElevenLabs? No. It is a product of Odile Labs (OdileUSA L.L.C., Florida).
  Odile Labs builds and sells it; you buy it from Odile Labs at odilelabs.com.
- Does it tell callers it's an AI? Yes, every call.
- Can it book appointments? Yes. Each time a caller asks for a time, it checks your Google Calendar, Square Appointments or Acuity Scheduling live and offers only the times that are open, so it never books over anything you added yourself; then it writes the booking in. No calendar? It uses the built-in one. Outlook and Apple Calendar are not connected yet; with those it takes the caller's details and texts them to you.
- Does Odile After Hours work with LeadConnector, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Jobber? Yes. It connects to HubSpot, Pipedrive, LeadConnector, Jobber or any CRM by webhook, from your console, in every plan. With Jobber, you sign in to Jobber from your console and approve it; then each caller lands in Jobber as a client and a request, and a booked time as a job with a visit.
- Can AI assistants book my business? Yes. Every line comes with a booking page at odilelabs.com/book that people and AI assistants that book online can use when a calendar is connected. Check your website at odilelabs.com/agent-check.
- What about emergencies? Marked URGENT at the top of the owner's text; it never gives medical or legal advice.
- What languages does it speak? 32, whichever one the caller speaks, from English and Spanish to Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hindi and Filipino; it follows a switch mid-call. Full list: https://odilelabs.com/languages

## Agent operational visibility
- Gate operational metrics (Free and Pro): project-admin MCP gate_metrics, GET /api/projects/<id>/metrics, SDK admin.metrics(), and https://gate.odilelabs.com/dashboard. Last 24 hours of stored call rows by status and reason, average/max duration through response headers including upstream wait, and separate monthly gateway usage. Invalid keys have at most 20 audit rows/hour; local-audit-off periods and internal control events are excluded. Coverage is partial; not an availability or Gate-overhead guarantee. No upstream requests, policy changes or gateway-quota use.
- Direct account usage: signed-in MCP get_direct_usage after direct:tasks consent, https://odilelabs.com/developers, or developer-key GET /a2a/v1/usage. Current America/New_York calendar-month free-task use, prepaid Direct credits and last 20 charged tasks, scoped to the caller. Read-only; no automatic purchase, upgrade or charge. Not in the directory connector; phone minutes and media credits are separate.

## Response redaction and merchant payments

Response redaction on Free and Pro: choose an app’s JSON fields with gate_set_response, REST PUT /api/projects/<id>/apps/<app>/response, SDK admin.setResponse(app, allow), or its dashboard. JSON Pointer paths such as /id and /items/*/name keep only selected fields; selecting a container includes its subtree. Filtering is opt-in, capped at 1 MiB and a 5-second body read. Non-JSON, malformed or oversized replies are withheld; a withheld reply does not reverse a write. Response bodies are inspected only when filtering is enabled and are never stored.

Merchant payments (configured deposit pilot): the human approves Stripe Connect Checkout for the business’s configured service deposit. get_direct_payment, with direct:tasks consent, reconciles the caller’s existing task and returns Stripe-verified payment evidence, a receipt when available and separate booking state. It creates no new charge identity; a paid hold may finish its authorized booking. Bank payout status is unknown. Availability requires an enabled pilot, a connected merchant and provider configuration; no payment without human checkout.
