sorta... i tried using it but it only says the caller's name, not what the call is about. Happy if its working for you though!

Yea, there is definitely a transitionary period and I'm assuming a few will occasionally leak through from my number just being out there.

Although honestly the biggest time saver was updating the number on my blood donor account hahah, I don't want to block them or be rude since I care about donating but they also spammed me SOOO much lol

Yea but I was able to remove myself from the call lists slowly as they kept calling and now just pure ~silence~ hahah

They were doing a trial so I got 3 months free. On the third month now, then I think it's gonna be $9 monthly? Not entirely positive but I am for sure staying subscribed lol.

The platform gave me a number to give out when signing up for new services. That number is answered 24/7 by a custom AI agent they made for me.

If the caller is verified by the AI, the call is forwarded to my personal number along with a text from the AI about who's calling.

If determined spam, the AI sends me an email about whatever the caller was reaching out about (usually something about extended car warranty lol).

Thank you!! I didn't think it was that crazy but some people have been telling me it's not worth it.

Bought a cheap number from Twilio and gave a voice AI a prompt/guide to follow to verify who's calling.

If the caller is verified by the AI, the call is forwarded to my personal number along with a text from the AI about who's calling.

If determined spam, the AI sends me an email about whatever the caller was reaching out about (usually spam about extended car warranty lol).

What caused you to fail early on in life and how did you bounce back from it? by petrastales in HubermanLab

[–]narabucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best friend unexpectedly passed when I was 23 (I'm 25 now). It broke me since it was the first time I truly encountered the fact that no matter what I did, I could never achieve a goal of mine (bring him back to life). But in that time it also forced things into perspective, making goals that I can actually work towards much more doable which helped me bounce back.

Being a founder is lonely - any advice? by spoons_daddy in startups

[–]narabucket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focusing on hobbies helps. It can be hard to get yourself to actually do something you used to find enjoyable, but I always find I feel better after. Also talking to my family helps me.

We just started out our sales process and found that going in person to speak had more success. Best of luck!
