We're a growing service company looking for an experienced developer to build a Slack bot that answers employee questions about our HR policies, SOPs, and internal documentation. Team members will tag the bot in a channel, ask a question in plain language, and receive a conversational, accurate answer grounded in our documented materials. **This is a build + teach engagement.** I have no coding background, and a core requirement of this project is that you walk me through your decisions and architecture as you build, so I can understand, maintain, and eventually extend the system myself. If you're a strong developer but don't enjoy explaining your work, this isn't the right fit. ## What You'll Build A production-ready Slack bot with the following architecture: - **Slack integration** using Slack's Bolt framework (Python or Node.js — your recommendation welcome) - **Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)** pipeline: questions are matched against our documentation via semantic search, and relevant context is passed to an LLM for a conversational answer - **Vector database** (Pinecone, Weaviate, or a comparable option you can justify) storing embeddings of our policies, SOPs, and transcripts - **OpenAI API** integration for embeddings and chat completions - **Document ingestion pipeline** that can handle multiple source formats: Word docs, PDFs, spreadsheets, and plain-text transcripts (e.g., exported Loom video transcripts) - **Source citations** in bot answers, so users can see which policy or document the answer came from - Deployment to a cloud environment (AWS, Heroku, Railway, or similar) with clear instructions for how it runs and how to restart or update it ## Technical Requirements You should have demonstrable experience with: - Slack app development (Bolt framework, event subscriptions, OAuth/permissions setup) - OpenAI's API (chat completions and embeddings) - RAG architecture and vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector, or similar) - Python or Node.js backend development - Cloud deployment and basic DevOps (environment variables, API key security, uptime) **In your proposal, please link to or describe at least one similar project you've built** — ideally a Slack bot, a RAG system, or an LLM-powered internal tool. ## Deliverables 1. A working Slack bot deployed to production and connected to our Slack workspace 2. Document ingestion process (with instructions or a simple tool for me to add new documents myself as our documentation grows) 3. Full source code in a repository I own, with clear comments 4. **Written documentation** covering: system architecture, how each component connects, how to add/update documents, how to update API keys, and common troubleshooting steps 5. **Teaching sessions**: recorded screen-share walkthroughs (or live calls) at each major milestone explaining what was built and why — I estimate 3–5 sessions of 30–60 minutes 6. A handoff session at the end where we test the bot together and review maintenance procedures ## Communication & Working Style - Regular progress updates (at minimum, 2x per week) - Willingness to explain decisions in plain English, not just technical jargon - Patience with beginner questions — teaching is part of the paid scope, not a favor - Fluent written and spoken English - Availability for scheduled video calls (please note your time zone in your proposal) ## Scope Notes - Initial document set is modest, but the system should be designed to scale as our documentation library grows significantly - Future phases may include: automatic transcript ingestion from Loom, additional Slack channels/workflows, and analytics on what questions get asked — mention if you have experience with any of these - I will provide: Slack workspace admin access, OpenAI API account, and all documentation to be ingested ## How to Apply In your proposal, please include: 1. A brief description of a similar project you've built (links or screenshots appreciated) 2. Your recommended tech stack for this project and a one-paragraph explanation of why 3. Your approach to the teaching/documentation component 4. Estimated timeline and total cost (fixed price preferred; open to milestone-based payment) 5. Your time zone and general availability Proposals that are clearly personalized and address the teaching component will be prioritized. Generic copy-paste proposals will be declined.

We are a small AI consulting practice that helps financial services firms put AI to work inside their business. Our clients are owner-led firms like accountants, business appraisers, financial advisors, and insurance agents. We do not sell one-off scripts or disposable projects. We build practical AI systems that take real work off these firms' plates, delivered through ongoing monthly work. Demand is growing and the bottleneck is delivery. We are looking for one delivery partner to own that side of the work with us. How it works: we handle marketing, sales, and the paid advisory session that starts each client. Once a client moves to ongoing work, you take the lead on delivery. You build the systems against the priorities we set each month, and you run the weekly client meeting as their main point of contact. We stay in for support, to translate the client's business context, and to own the relationship at the top, but week to week the client works with you. What you would own: -Building AI and agentic systems for clients -Running the weekly client meeting and being the client's day-to-day contact -Taking each engagement from kickoff through delivery on the month's agreed hours, to a standard we can stand behind Compensation is $100/hour for your hours, which include both build time and client meetings. Straightforward and paid against tracked hours. As our client book grows, so do the hours available. Who we are looking for: -Genuinely fluent building real systems with modern AI tools. -Not just familiar with them. You should be comfortable architecting and shipping working systems for non-technical business owners. -Client-ready. You can run a working session, explain technical things plainly to a non-technical owner, and hold a client relationship week to week. -Native or fluent English. You are in front of clients every week, so clear, natural communication is non-negotiable. -Strong general technical judgment. The specific stack matters less than the ability to find the right solution and build it. -Reliable. We scope the work and stand behind it, so we need to count on what you deliver and how you handle the client. Who this is not for: anyone looking to own sales or pricing, anyone who only wants to build quietly and never talk to a client, and anyone new to this work hoping to learn on the job. To apply, tell us briefly: the most relevant AI system you have built and what it did for the business, how comfortable you are leading client calls, and how you approach building these systems. Start your reply with the word "Agentic" so we know you read this in full. Applications without it will not be reviewed. We will move quickly with the right person.

Project Overview We are building an AI-powered voice receptionist agent for a dental practice client. The agent will handle inbound calls 24/7 — booking, rescheduling, and canceling appointments, answering FAQs, and escalating complex situations to a human. The voice layer is built in Retell.ai and the orchestration/automation flows run in n8n, with integration into a dental practice management systems. This is a hands-on build role, not consulting. You will design, configure, and iterate the agent working directly with our founding team. What You'll Build: Conversational voice flows for new and returning patients (booking, rescheduling, cancellations, FAQs, insurance questions, urgent/emergency triage) Clean escalation paths to human staff when the agent can't handle the call n8n workflows connecting the voice agent to the practice management API for real-time schedule reads/writes HIPAA-conscious configurations and tool choices throughout the stack Performance tracking and iterative prompt/flow improvements based on real call feedback Seeking an Expert Who: You've built multiple production voice agents, ideally in healthcare or dental, and can own the full stack from architecture to delivery. You think critically about latency, barge-in behavior, edge cases, and HIPAA compliance — not just happy-path flows. Requirements: Deep expertise in Retell.ai — prompt tuning, latency optimization, interruption/barge-in handling, LLM selection, and cost modeling Advanced n8n automation — complex branching logic, dynamic data handling, external API integrations, and error recovery Experience with dental or healthcare organizations — you understand how practices operate, what front desks actually deal with, and how to translate that into agent logic HIPAA awareness — you know which tools and configurations are appropriate for PHI workflows Track record of full-cycle delivery: scoping → build → pilot → iteration Nice to have: Dentrix Ascend integration, NexHealth, prior AI receptionist or appointment-booking agent for a clinic/practice. 📋 To Apply, Please Answer Have you built a production voice agent with Retell.ai? If yes, briefly describe it. What's your approach to managing Retell.ai per-minute costs on an inbound call agent? Have you worked with dental or healthcare clients before? What was the workflow? Paste a relevant n8n workflow screenshot or describe your most complex flow.
