Tell me this is some kind of parody.

"Putting in 12 to 15-hour days, the engineering team has traveled to +10 cities in the past half-year for product launches."

"Solve deep product problems like how to collect more money with a voice AI agent."

Next "killer app"...an app you can send a phone call to the moment you realize it's a spammer/collector/etc. The app uses an LLM and voice synth to have the most boring and frustrating conversation ever with the caller. It should frequently ask them to repeat themselves, pretend to misunderstand common words, and for bonus points...speak in a broken accent. I'd pay $20 for that app right now.

Like the experiment O2 did last year? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV_SdCfZ-0s
It ends up with AIs chatting between them over the phone in like 1 year top
Their mission statement is: "Automating debt collection calls for banks".

Which is kind of funny, because if it's an automated call you don't need to even take it. Who picks up the phone from unknown numbers these days?

People who are sick receiving 1000 automated calls per day. Eventually you'll cave in.
The crazy thing is when that was first posted to HN, the salary was 50% lower.

Shocking that no one wanted to work there.
