Here's my new video where I play a real call of my bot successfully negotiating with Comcast to cut my internet bill by almost $500 a year. Some highlights include my bot: → Responding to "How's the weather?" → Turning down 3 upsells from the rep → Pushing the rep with a rival's lower offer 📌 Watch now: https://t.co/UWt3SanRSN

Think about how much time we all waste waiting on hold or trying to navigate legacy phone systems ("say 1 to proceed" 🤮).
That's why I love Grok @Bot's new phone call feature. Try it with these 5 use cases:
1. Negotiate any bill
"Call Comcast about my internet bill. I pay $84 a month and a competitor offers $49. Ask for a lower price."
2. Cancel subscriptions
"Call my gym and cancel my membership. Here's my account info. Turn down any retention offers and get a confirmation number."
3. Wait on hold
"Call the airline about my canceled flight. Here's my confirmation code. Stay on hold until you reach a person, then ask for a full refund."
4. Make reservations
"Call this restaurant and book a table for 4 on Friday at 7pm. If that's taken, anything between 6 and 8 works."
5. Get contractor quotes
"Call these 3 contractors about replacing my water heater. Ask each one for price and earliest start date. Then put the answers in a table."
Note that this only works with US numbers for now but it's nevertheless a game changer.
