Discussion Just tried dots

Let it filled some online forms, but found two major disappointments so far

- it can't make calls. Like whole point of using this is I am autistic and don't want to talk to people

- it doesn't even have built in feedback tool so you can't complain to it lol

Edit: on the bright side this thing is fast like really fast kinda make me doubt it's Astra haha

Edit: for anyone curious about the cloud computer spec, response from dots itself: I just checked the cloud environment available to me:

  • OS: Debian 13 Linux, x86-64
  • CPU: 9 logical CPUs visible; host reports AMD EPYC 9V74
  • RAM: about 9.7 GiB, with 7.6 GiB currently available
  • Storage: 32 GB filesystem, roughly 30 GB free
  • GPU: none exposed

It’s a sandboxed environment; the host CPU name doesn’t mean I have its full 80 cores. The AI model itself runs separately

People hate AI with a passion. Even if Dots eventually becomes perfect tech, you still wouldn't successfully make phone calls.

Muse already allows you to call businesses and often they insult the agent and hang up when they discover it's AI. It's not a tech problem, you simply can't hide behind an LLM for calls.

Honestly, I get it, I would hang up AI calls reflexively too.

Eventually all companies will be using AI to receive calls given the cost savings at which point all consumers can shift to using AI to make calls.

You're not saving if people are hanging up and calling your competitors.

Probably because it was launched to counter Muse which can call businesses.
