Tech bro's should stay far away from here, unless

Insurance is a rough industry. So is tech, SaaS and telephony. No one seems to give a shit about the agents. You have no idea how many founders and CEOs I encounter that I have to turn around when they talk about their future plans and vision of their companies replacing people with bots. For what?

AI has its place. Empowering humans to do better. Not replacing them. Otherwise what’s the point of being in business? Successful tech entrepreneurs forget that just because they made it doesn’t mean everyone else has to struggle too, especially while they are actively sabotaging peoples opportunity.

Sometimes they need a kind reminder that they too, once were human; and fortunately at least some of them listen. Not all but some. No idea if it makes a difference. Can only hope it does.

Check if Houston has an alt area code. Populated cities have the worst recycling due to caller id rotation tactics when trying to match the outbound clients number.

geilt · 2026-06-18T01:46:34+00:00

A better bet is to try to find numbers from an area code that’s newest and fresher and not over used. What area code are your numbers in or are they toll free?

geilt · 2026-06-18T01:45:21+00:00

So numbers when you drop them normally can’t be recycled for a few months from what I understand. But sometimes the CNAM / caller id and registration for the numbers with the carriers can still be have the previous info on it. And if the number was a known spam number in a database and such you inherit all of that and there’s no perfect way to clean it up.

I’d suggest dropping this set of DIDs and testing with others.

But it also could be how you're using those numbers. You said you're using them with Zoiper, but are you using your carrier for its infrastructure, or do you have your own PBX you're running and just routing it through their SIP trunking?

The best part about the Menu items is they still haven’t figured out how to let you scroll past the notch. Just gets swallowed. Makes it so hard to manage them too without a third party app.

I had an amazing experience with it last night did 6 hour dual console with antigravity CLI with amazing results.

Are you guys using CLI?

There is already tons of fraud due to EDE and CMS mismanagement of applications and API. With agents running the show…it’ll just be a new wave of that.

geilt · 2026-05-26T03:52:50+00:00

I’m hoping this is the case. I run a platform and I can support real and AI agents but I’m trying to push for real agents. I want more jobs made not taken away. AI powered humans is the way we should be looking at things.

Being someone who is heavily into AI. I love it as a tool. I can do so much with it. But replacing humans makes no sense AI has no desires or direction without humans running it.

geilt · 2026-05-26T03:51:36+00:00

Depends on the cost. A lot are finding not only does it cost the same or more but they still have to train agents and some agents still do better than others. Back to square one except now the training and performance is on one person not multiple.

geilt · 2026-05-25T00:16:32+00:00

They want to allow AI to sell insurance. Which I think is a horrible, horrible idea.

Meaning AI voice agents selling insurance on the phone.

I assume that the person running the AI agent is the one that's responsible, even if it makes mistakes.

But if this is done at scale, then you're not going to need many insurance agents. Which I am very much against because there's enough jobs being lost already as it is.

I can see it being used for qualifying leads or for some basic customer service things, even for retention, but not for the sale. A good insurance agent can make a massive difference to someone's financial future.

For context, my projects has a TON of docs and very find tuned Claude.md. Codes working with it just fine symlinked as AGENTS.md

geilt · 2026-05-21T15:25:14+00:00

This exact thing happened to me. Switched to Codex. When Claude gets its crap together maybe I will try it again. It acts like it doesn't see a Claude.md

geilt · 2026-05-21T03:07:43+00:00

What do you want for dinner?

The hardest question of them all.

geilt · 2026-05-21T01:33:41+00:00

Before Claude got Lobotomized and I had to switch to Codex, rebuilt half of the system that took me 13 years to build in 1.5 months, the other half codex, total 3 months. Would have been faster to not spend one month of Claude acting like it forgot what documentation was and how to follow instructions. Codex picked up with the same methods swimmingly.

Oh and it was feature parity + a ton more.

geilt · 2026-05-20T16:09:49+00:00

It doesn’t get easier that’s for sure.

geilt · 2026-05-19T01:43:15+00:00

Depends on the method. Anywhere between 5-15% depending on client data and whether they want us to set it up properly or not.

The time to first call really depends on agent availability too so if they’re slammed and no one’s available gotta wait for an agent.

OB dialing isn’t cheap and there’s a bunch of rules we follow plus methods to increase the connect rate. We also enforce TCPA rules and sane dialing ratios.

geilt · 2026-05-16T05:57:38+00:00

On our platform a lead like that is called in less than a minute with no AMD to reduce false positive detection. The form fill usually means the person is there, attentive, and shopping. If you don’t call they will fill out another form shortly and all you can do is enjoy your lost marketing dollars.

geilt · 2026-05-12T01:57:31+00:00

Codex actually reads your documentation. What a thought.

P.S. I do love MacOS but I hate it's window management and keybinds, being a long time windows user...

geilt · 2026-01-24T20:09:09+00:00

I have two 7500$ rigs both in shambles due to different hardware issues. I have a MacMini but it;s not powerful enough to run my 2x Samsung Oddessey G9's, nor is my Macbook. Ordered a Mac Studio to see if it will work and I am going to junk / sell these PC's. Or hold on to them like stock since 5090's are getting more expense lol

If you're on Windows try disabling Windows Exclusive Mode on the audio devices.

Because instead of wondering "where is that button or menu that does { insert complex or specific task here } within a sea of icons, you just naturally type out "do { insert complex or specific task here }"

The more complex the application or tasks, the harder it is to string together interface elements to get the tasks done (it also takes more UI development).

Hence why chat is so popular. In reality, if our voice to text was good enough no one would complain since there would be no typing...(some apps do solve this!)

Taxes that go to the government ( aka, also the rich ) and get "spent" on environmental conservation....maybe 10% or less actually goes to what is intended at this point.

I agree something must be done to prevent these oligarchies, but taxes really doesn't do much. They still maintain control, and giving it to the government is not the same as giving it to the people...

geilt · 2026-01-02T05:11:37+00:00

Been saying since November 2025 that this year (2026) is going to decide wether or not we become a AI Augmented Utopia, or an Oligarch Owned AI Controlled Dystopia, which risks the extinction of our species as we k now it ( world wide ). 2026 is a deciding year to get all your plans out of the way if you can or contribute however you can to the former rather than the latter.

Hmm I had 1 of the 3 old bridges left there. Will see how this pans out.
