I'm building CAIL – an AI that makes and answers phone calls for you. You type what needs to be done – it calls, talks, waits on hold, asks questions, and sends you a summary. Kind of like a voice assistant, but for actual phone calls. Also built an AI voicemail agent – it can answer missed or declined calls, figure out what they wanted, book a meeting in your free calendar slot, or even mess with spammers if needed.

Started as a personal pain after moving to the US. Now works for both people and businesses. Built our own voice infra. iOS, Android for B2C, and web dashboard for B2B. Building full-time with my wife – just pushed the first version of the mobile app this week.

That's cool! I wondered about this recently -- I'd be pretty annoyed if an AI called me. I would most likely hang up immediately, regardless of what was said. Am I in the minority here? Is that feedback you've gotten before?

I do however think people would be more tolerant of an AI answering a phone call they made, I'm bullish on that half of the equation.

    App in review right now in App Store & Google Play! I will send you a link to LinkedIn on release, but now you can try it in web ui on https://app.cail.io But on the web platform you need to deal with forwarding on your own, in our app we have a bunch of instructions for each carrier.
