Sounds like time for a bit of reading.

The AGI protocol is simple. You give Asterisk a request. You get a 
response. It's all text based and you can enable AGI debug mode and watch 
the 'conversation' on the console.

There are lots of examples on the net.

You can pick any language you're comfortable with. Save yourself a lot of 
frustration and use an existing AGI library.

For your needs, your AGI may be as simple as:

) Read the AGI environment if your library does not do it automagically.

) Look for the ANI/caller ID in your text file (or database).

) Either set a channel variable (like AGISTATUS) or set the 
context/extension/priority. I've written AGIs both ways. I think setting a 
channel variable makes for more reusable code.
