akumar · x · 2026-10-21
Pitaya (built by Dragonfruit AI, which runs its own outbound on it) shared first-two-weeks numbers: 4,400+ businesses called, 310 real conversations, 1 in 5 ending with a next step, plus 170+ inbound calls answered.
- Pricing: $0.15 per minute, no monthly fee, no seats, no contract; live in about 10 minutes
- Workflow: describe what you sell, upload a list, press start; the agent gets past the front desk, handles objections, books meetings, and discloses it is an AI on every call
- Upload product sheets and FAQs so the agent answers from them; a live demo can call your own phone
Essentially outsourced cold calling billed per minute, with the vendor's own outbound team as the proof case.
