Voice AI at Hello Patient.
When a patient calls the clinic, an agent I built picks up in under half a second. Fifteen-plus run in production across clinics in multiple states.
About
Mostly, I build things that talk.
Right now that's Hello Patient in Austin — voice, text, and chat agents working the front door of healthcare. I'm the agent PM, forward-deployed: in the transcripts, with the practices, deciding what ships. Before this I built AI receptionists at Nudge — fifteen-plus shipped onto real patient lines across multiple states.
I got here through UC Davis — Computational Cognitive Science with a philosophy minor — which turned out to be the right obsession: conversation is the oldest interface there is, and the hardest one to build. Along the way I started the Machine Learning Student Network and spent most of it helping people ship their first ML that actually ran.
Off the clock I'm still at it — porting a TTS engine to Apple Silicon with Bolo, giving stateless agents a memory with Brain, writing about minds and machines on Substack, and mapping what I believe into vir.wtf.
These days I'm at Hello Patient. Want to talk voice AI? email me — vir@saidoen.com

Jul 2026 — PresentAI Agent PM
Conversational AI for the front door of healthcare — voice, text, and chat agents that handle scheduling, insurance, and recall for medical practices. A forward-deployed, technical kind of PM role: I sit with the practices, live in the transcripts and evals, and own the call flows, prompts, and what ships next.
