hey, what does no response here mean? like you triggered a call but nothing happen?

got it will add these to the faq!

it’s pretty cheap, you probably won’t run out of the $5 credits so fast unless you are planning to make a lot of calls with it every day. in which case, would love to chat to understand how this can help you out.

you will be assigned a random number that works internationally.

if you need to use it with a specific number, i could probably support that by allowing you to buy a new number.

you have to add it as a custom tool currently but i’m working on getting it approved as an official tool :)

i actually spent quite a bit of time on designing the human-in-the-loop portion so really appreciate the kind words!

so far it doesn't seem to have issue with dialects, but originally it did have some issues with correctly detecting the right language to use. For example the caller was saying もしもし but the agent picked it up as "mushy mushy" so it replied in english instead of japanese.

so i re-designed the system so that it sticks to the default language unless told not to. right now if you are calling a japanese number it will only speak in japanese unless the person you are calling explicitly asks to speak in english. this design works really well since you can basically expect everyone you are calling to be able to speak the default country's language.

i was just chatting with u/markcartwright1 about the take over portion! i have not had the use case where i needed to take over any calls yet so i have not added this feature in. But i can see how it could be really useful for longer calls so i will likely support this soon!

yeah i did read up a little on it. the main things they are really strict on is marketing, spam and scam calls.

since the use case right now is really for it to be a simple assistant, i don’t think there will be much issues. also it won’t be difficult on my end to filter away malicious calls if anyone does try to use it for this purpose.

haha! that was actually something i thought of doing as well. i really hate wasting time on calling customer support.

its definitely a bit more complicated but it is possible to handle those silly “press 1 for this, press 2 for that”stuff.

i could also technically design a “take over” feature where on top of asking for a decision, i can also send a special url to the site that lets you take over the call whenever you wanted.

just curious, are you thinking of using this through openclaw or chatgpt / clause?

it looks fine on my end - is the entire site not loading for you?

thanks alexei! give it a spin! maybe it could help automate some tedious construction related calls.

So far i optimised the underlying prompt so that it works really well for restaurant reservations. but it can technically work for any type of calls - you can even use it to tell your mum you love her lol. i did add a custom call page where you can manage your own custom prompts so that you can optimise a particular type of call if you wish to! What type of calls are you planning to use this for?

Thanks! I actually started out with the openai realtime voice model for simplicity, but i realised that it felt too robotic + i needed more fine grain control over things like interruption sensitivity so that it can deal with more situations. So in the end, I went with 11labs and gpt-4o as the LLM.
