MonidHQ demoed its "GPT-6 Astra" cold-calling agent: in one afternoon it called 50 leads, handled objections, booked 9 meetings, texted confirmations, and followed no-answers with voicemail and SMS — total cost $18.60.
The company frames it as the end of the $4,000/month human cold caller. Note these are self-reported vendor numbers without third-party verification, but it's a concrete case of AI sales automation undercuting labor costs.
