How the live system works Security, processing and storage
  1. Permission before connectionBrowser → Tryl

    In the live demo, microphone permission and a security check come first. Tryl checks the browser and IP limits, then reserves the maximum call cost in one database transaction.

  2. A conversation, with contextBrowser ↔ Retell

    Audio travels directly between the browser and Retell. The server chooses the approved agent and the two-minute limit. The receptionist asks about the issue, timing and contact details.

  3. A verified handoffRetell → Tryl webhook

    After the call, Retell sends lifecycle and analysis events. Tryl checks the signature and timestamp, saves accepted events and safely handles duplicates or events arriving out of order.

  4. A short-lived recordTryl → Neon

    The transcript and summary are saved in Neon for 24 hours. Tryl reconciles the reserved allowance against reported usage. Public demo recordings are not downloaded.

  5. The details, ready to reviewTryl → your browser

    The same browser retrieves its result using a signed, HTTP-only session cookie. Missing details stay marked “Not provided”. The public demo creates no booking, email or CRM enquiry.

  1. Hi, you’ve reached Field Plumbing. I’m the AI receptionist for this demo. How can I help?

  2. Hi, I’m Alex. I’m in Marrickville, and my kitchen tap just won’t stop dripping.

  3. Ah, okay. Is it just the tap, or have you noticed any water underneath the sink?

  4. No, underneath looks dry. It’s just the tap. Been going on for about three days now.

  5. Got it. And when would suit you for someone to have a look?

  6. Sometime next week? An afternoon would be easiest.

  7. Sure, I’ll note that preference. What’s the best way to reach you? Just fictional details for this example.

  8. Let’s use Alex at example dot com. I’ll skip the phone number.

  9. Thanks, Alex. So, a dripping kitchen tap in Marrickville, ideally next week in the afternoon. Have I got that right?

  10. Yep, that’s it. Thanks for your help.

  11. You’re welcome. In a real call, the team would confirm availability and price. This was just a demo, so nothing’s been booked or sent. Thanks for trying it!
