2. plan_call drafts the questions and warns that phone menus at government offices are long, and that the office may ask whether there's a lien on the vehicle.
3. place_call dials:

{
  "phone": "+19725550110",
  "business_name": "County Tax Assessor-Collector (vehicle titles)",
  "goal": "Find out exactly what documents, forms, fees, and inspections are needed to transfer an Illinois title for a 2020 Subaru Outback to Texas.",
  "details": "New Texas resident, moved from Illinois in August 2026. Vehicle is paid off, Illinois title in hand. No lien.",
  "questions": ["What documents do I bring?", "Which forms do I fill out?", "Is a vehicle inspection needed first?", "What are the fees?", "Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?"],
  "on_behalf_of": "Alex Kim",
  "voicemail_message": "Hi, this is an AI assistant calling for Alex Kim with a question about an out-of-state title transfer. Alex can be reached at 469-555-0122."

Example result

Illustrative example: names, prices and times are made up. Transcript excerpt:

Voice agent: Hi, this is an assistant calling for Alex Kim, on a recorded line. Alex moved from Illinois and wants to transfer a title for a 2020 Subaru Outback. What documents should they bring?

Clerk: Bring the Illinois title, proof of Texas insurance, a passing Texas inspection report, and ID. Fill out Form 130-U.

Voice agent: Do they need an appointment?

Clerk: Walk-ins are fine at the main office. Other locations are appointment only.

Your agent turns it into a checklist:

Tips

• Say whether the car is paid off. A lien changes the whole process and the clerk will ask.
• Ask about walk-in versus appointment. It varies by office within the same county.
• Set voicemail_message if the office sends overflow calls to voicemail. Without it, the voice agent hangs up on voicemail. That's free if voicemail picked up within the first minute; after a longer menu or hold, it's billed like an answered call.
• Government hold times can be long. The 30 minute call cap applies, so your agent may retry at opening time.

What it costs

$1 for the first 2 minutes after the office picks up, then $0.40 a minute. A 20 minute hold and 4 minutes of questions is 24 minutes: $9.80.
