Have an AI agent phone businesses on your behalf
The author's AI agent calls a business, where the business's own AI agent answers, and the two hold a conversation.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- Dare Obasanjo's post says his AI agent phones a business and presents itself as a human. The business's own AI agent answers, also posing as human, and the two talk to each other. The post gives no setup details, such as tools, tasks or oversight.
- How it went
- He calls the exchange an uncanny-valley conversation and an inefficient intermediate state. He expects it to be replaced by plain API calls. The post gives no results or numbers.
- Worth knowing
- This is a short observation, not a how-to. It names no tools, costs or task outcomes, and both agents pretend to be human.
Try it yourself with Lindy
Act as my phone assistant. Call [business name] at [phone number] and [goal, e.g. ask whether they have a table for 4 on Friday at 7pm / get a quote for a repair]. If their automated agent answers, have the conversation with it and collect [details I need, e.g. price, availability, confirmation]. Before agreeing to anything that costs money or books something, pause and ask me. When done, send me a short written summary of what was said and the outcome.
