No offense, but my business partner gets like a dozen or more of these per week. It seems like you used GPT but ended up in the exact same "shallow personalization" hole that most manual cold emails land in. Basically you're not providing value. But good luck anyways.

I'd talk with a bunch of potential customers about whether they see value in this and gauge reactions.
But I'm going to warn you that I've seen a lot of other companies doing this already.
I've told a couple other founders the same thing I'll tell you: You're going to have a really shallow moat unless you have foundational models or something else besides a tortoise tts / bark / coqui-ai tts plugged into whisper and twilio. I can do that myself in a couple hours and deploy it to AWS.
Remember what OpenAI did with Agents?
Well they have the software pieces already to do the same thing with vocal agents.
You're concerned about losing the extra 1-2 hours per day by returning to office, which I can understand. But the conclusion you're making is that you should switch to working for yourself to be more free.
That.. isn't how this works. I've been a tech CEO at it for 10 years. Right now it's 12:12AM and I just finished my workday. I started at 9:45am. It's a Saturday. This is normal. I haven't had a weekend off for over 12 years. My long time friends all are married and have families. I have this business.
You're vastly underestimating what this takes and the reality of the entrepreneurial endeavor. At least I'd advise you to meet with and talk to people in the businesses you are considering starting, and see how their work-life balance looks, how much capital the businesses require to start up, and whether you can learn the mistakes from them.
Don't make a rash decision based on wantrapreneuer influencers who sell you the dream of a 4 hour workday packaged in a $997.95 12 hour course. Expect to spend at least 5 years working 80+ hour weeks, earning half of what you're earning now, before you can begin to ease off the gas.
This is fun, I should publish a 1T model called "AGI-QSTAR-1T" and say it's as good as GPT-5 but no you may not see it.
"Oh and BTW if you want to hire me, I'm willing to accept $1M/yr jobs."
