Tip only: three fixes so your bot's phone calls don't get hung up on
Businesses hang up when your bot's call sounds too much like AI.
What hurt
Tobias Goebel (@tpgoebel) tested ideas for making his bot sound human on business calls and collected them in a video with examples. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
It comes down to three things: engage the called person early, choose a better voice, and turn interruptibility off.
Bots
Caller bot
Makes calls on your behalf.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/tpgoebel/status/2108665892456509851 (credit @tpgoebel).
- 2Open with something that engages the person in the first seconds.
- 3Pick a more natural voice.
- 4Turn interruptibility off and listen to a test call before calling real businesses.
Approval fence
Approve who it calls and what it may agree to before each call; anything involving payment or commitments comes back to you.
What to tweak
Engage early: the first seconds decide whether they stay on the line.
