It stayed on the phone with AT&T for 98 minutes across transfers and got me a discount

Another user describes the AI’s phone work. It called AT&T and argued for a discount because his service is poor where he lives, staying on the phone with real people across multiple transfers and departments for 98 minutes, and got the discount. The amount is not stated. His other two cases from the same comment are recorded separately where they stand on their own.

How it works

  1. Call AT&T
  2. Work through multiple transfers and departments
  3. Stay on the line 98 minutes
  4. Discount agreed

Why it’s worth knowing

Ninety eight minutes of phone tree and transfers is exactly the part of the job no person wants. The agent just stayed on the line.
