Someone Gave a Grok Bot a Phone Number and It Called to Ask About Coffee
Scobleizer · x · 2026-09-12
A demo shows a Grok bot wired up with a phone number via Dialbot + Bland voice, after which the AI proactively called to ask about making coffee. The poster argues AI voice features are both strikingly realistic and trivially easy to set up — any founder or small business owner could configure a calling agent in minutes — and insists voice mode is the best way to interact with AI. The accompanying video walks through Dialbot installation, Bland voice setup, a live demo call, transcript/cost review, and chaining multiple bots.
