See what an AI receptionist can and cannot truthfully claim before you buy or build anything.
OCG LAB · Educational Technology
Learn to build AI automations by understanding how they actually work.
Start with a fictional AI receptionist. Practice conversation design, consent, lead capture, privacy, and testing in a safe local workshop — without connecting a real phone number.
Build it. Test it. Understand it.
Educational, honestly labelled. The workshop software is a certified local educational simulator that runs on your own computer with fictional data. It is not a ready-to-deploy commercial receptionist, it does not connect a live phone line, and it does not perform live appointment booking. Production deployment requires additional engineering and approval.
Who it's for
Aspiring automation builders
Learn the engineering patterns — consent, duplicate prevention, cancellation, deletion — on a safe fictional project.
Curious beginners
No production experience needed. Basic computer literacy and a willingness to test claims are enough.
You'll learn
Conversation design
How a scripted bilingual (English/Spanish) receptionist conversation is structured, and where its authority ends.
Consent & privacy you can test
Why permission comes before data collection, and how to verify that deletion actually deletes.
Reading test evidence
What automated browser and Node tests prove — and what they cannot prove — about software behaviour.
How learning works here
- Watch the free introductory video series.
- Build along with the 13-lesson guided workshop on your own machine, using fictional data only.
- Check yourself with exercises, knowledge checks, and the instructor acceptance checklist.
- Go deeper in optional guided cohorts — dates announced to the early-access list first.
Join the early-access list
Enrollment opens after founder launch approval. Joining the list today reserves nothing and costs nothing — it tells us you're interested and lets us send the first lesson when it releases.
