AI that talks to people on the phone for you

Hi HN! I'm launching Mitra - the first ever consumer grade AI agent designed to talk to people on the phone for you. Voice is clearly the next frontier for consumer applications in AI. The problem we are solving is that phone calls are simply exhausting. Phone calls require both people to be fully present and one or both of you might not be comfortable acting a certain way or sharing certain information in real-time on a phone call. AI can solve that by essentially acting as the middleman. With an AI speaking to people on the phone on your behalf, you will have a lot more time freed up and will also allow the other person on the line to express themselves more fully. Also, it is very entertaining to hear your friends talk to an AI. Once a call is finished, you can view transcript and recordings of the call in a wonderful user experience. Mitra calls people using your caller ID so the people you know will actually pick up and businesses won't mark you as spam. Mitra will convey anything you ask it to convey and have an actual back-and-forth conversation with the other person on the line. You can ask it to act a certain way when talking to people (e.g be sarcastic) or do more complicated phone calls (e.g initial phone screens for interview candidates, ordering something for pickup, etc.) Right now, everyone gets 5 minutes for free. There are currently two main Mitra voices to choose from (male or female). If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to email me, the founder, at sai@simulation-applications.com Right now, we are iOS only though have plans to expand to Android soon.
