Public Ideas — A bored evening turned into a multilingual AI phone agent. Now what?

I hate to be the one to say it but with so much automation and AI agents now I think it will be super hard to get through trying to sell that to any business, also people are sick of talking to machines. So the party idea is actually much more promising - don't think anyone would have a problem talking to AI for a laugh:) I would try and turn it into something social, where others can get involved too, so gamify it in a way? We used to call random numbers and make up stories just for laughs, talking to strangers when we were little (and we actually had to pay for the calls!!) - something like that but since it's AI you don't risk actually pissing someone off and it can be run in a way that is fun? Something in those lines

Oh another one would be a service where you can actually program it to call you and get you out of a situation - "call me in an hour say you're my babysitter and I urgently need to get back home" - sort of thing :) Then you don't have to fake it, can even put it on loudspeaker:))

What about making it a language practice hotline? Someone learning French or German could call and have a five-minute conversation about a random topic, with the agent adjusting its vocabulary to their level. Unlike most language apps, they'd actually have to speak and react in real time. You could even give callers a new challenge every day. Have you tested how it handles people who speak a language badly?
