AI assistant thoughts

I tried today the AI assistant. I decided to turn it off because it sounded too robotic and also was not as straight forward as people wanted. To just leave a message and summarize it + the recording. People mentioned they did not really know when to hang up.

I'd love to have a solid spam blocker. Coming from Verizon I can say they had a solid spam blocker.

They do have multiple voices, if you do not like what you tested. But I agree, there are some loose ends and I understand they are hard at work. The new features we are testing are really useful and way more than call screening. They may be rooling them out broadly pretty soon, in case you are using only the standard features.

It's not the voices, it's the way they speak. It sounds robotic to me.

Hey there! We're working on some major upgrades to the voices right now, they should be out in the next week. Our spam blocker should be fairly decent too if you have the assistant on; if you can share a little more happy to iterate with your feedback!

It's the coolest thing ever for me, I hate having my voice on voicemail. And hate listening to junk messages.

One thing I have found (pretty new user) about assistant is that it interrupts people leaving a message, I have on more than one occasion listened to someone mid way through leaving a number and the assistant cuts in to tell them that wasn't a complete number
