    Most AI-voice-agent shortlists fail before the first demo because the vendors on them belong to different families. This essay names the six archetypes: pipeline constructors, wrapper constructors, no-code builders, speech-model vendors, full-stack communications platforms, and scripted IVR. It shows how to pick your family first, then let the head-to-heads rank the vendors inside it.

This guide runs those checks across eight providers, alphabetically.
