What they did
Hate calling around for quotes? He needed a seasonal tire swap (winter tires already on rims) and connected Muse to a voice-calling service with a script: price with tax, the right lifting pucks for his car, torque to spec (175 Nm), and availability after mid-November. The first call failed because it couldn't say where he was. With his area added, quotes came back at $120 plus tax, $50 tax-in (mobile, but he supplies the pucks) and $168 plus tax. One went to voicemail. He then scheduled 18 more calls and updated them all at once when he remembered 4 missing details. Every call produced a transcript.
How it went
A quote table from real calls, with a transcript of each one.
Worth knowing
- One detailed Reddit post. There's a pause of about 5 seconds before each AI reply, and some shop owners find the calls odd. Calling rules for AI voices vary by place, so have it say it's an AI.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Call these [shops] for a quote on [job]. Say you're an AI assistant calling for me, and that I'm in [area]. Ask: 1) price with tax, 2) [special requirement], 3) [spec], 4) first opening after [date]. Don't book or pay for anything. Only call numbers I approve. After each call, give me the price and a transcript, then a table comparing all of them.
