Limitations — the honest part
No tool is perfect. Here is where this one falls short, so you decide with open eyes.
- Requires developers; not a no-code product
- You assemble and maintain the stack yourself
- Multiple usage costs to monitor (Vapi, STT, LLM, TTS, telephony)
- Time to first production agent is longer
