I was skeptical but the demo is incredible (https://beta.retellai.com/home-agent)

Wow, I agree! That was beyond expectations. The only let-down was the AI contradicted itself when I tried layering on conditionals. It was something like this:

"What time works"

"Morning on tuesday would be best, but I can also do afternoon"

"I'm sorry, I didn't catch what time in the afternoon you wanted"

"No, I said the morning"

"I'm having a hard time hearing you. What time in the morning did you want?"

"10am"

And from there things were fine. It seemed very rigid on picking a time and didn't suggest times when I laid out a range.

Great point! Theres's some room for the prompt to improve~
Incredible, even has a bit of "human-like" passive-aggression when I was asking dumb questions:

    [Me] what kind of dental equipment do you use?
    [AI] (sigh) we use a variety of reputable brands for our dental equipment, was there anything specific you'd like to know?
It almost sounded like she was rolling her eyes at that question, like I was wasting her time haha
glad you like the demo!
