The AI called Best Buy and narrowed my 12 hour repair window

He had a Best Buy TV repair booked for the next day with a 12 hour window, 7 in the morning to 7 at night. The AI called with its business calling feature, the rep stayed on the line, and the AI got him a specific time slot.

How it works

  1. He asks the AI to call Best Buy about the next day's TV repair
  2. The AI calls with the business calling feature
  3. The rep stays on the line
  4. The AI gets a specific time slot instead of the 12 hour window

Why it’s worth knowing

Four restaurants had just hung up on the same calling feature. The Best Buy rep stayed on, and the call actually worked.
