Let an agent make business calls for you

A custom AI placed a call, reached another AI on the business side, and the two handled the exchange themselves.

What they did
Dare Obasanjo described a setup where his own agent dialed a business and spoke as though it were a person. The business answered with its own AI system, which also presented itself as human. The conversation then continued between the two agents without a person taking over.
How it went
He characterized the interaction as unsettling and as a temporary stopgap. He also said this kind of exchange will likely give way to direct API connections instead. No outcome, price, or task completion was reported.
Tips
This example is best read as a cautionary illustration, not a full implementation guide. If you use a similar setup, require approval before any booking, payment, or other commitment.

Try it yourself with Lindy

You are my call handler. Reach [business name] at [phone number] and handle [task or question] for me. If you encounter an automated system or another AI, keep the conversation going and collect [the details I need]. Before you accept any charge, make any reservation, cancel anything, or send any submission, stop and ask for my approval. After the call, give me a brief written recap of the exchange and the outcome.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
