A complete after-hours call script and the instructions to paste into an AI receptionist (or give to an answering service).
A customer says his plumbing company's AI scheduler sounded natural and 'did a better job at scheduling'
The customer's side, and positive this time: a bit of uncanny valley, but a good experience.
What they did
@k081e called their plumbing company, where a person usually handles scheduling. This time an AI agent answered.
How it went
They described an "incredibly natural voice" that "actually did a better job at scheduling," and despite "a bit of uncanny valley," called it "a very positive experience overall."
Worth knowing
Customers judge the result: did they get a time that works, quickly? Sounding human matters less than booking correctly.

A counter-story from the customer's side: the bot didn't know the price of the company's own maintenance plan.
One said Bland took about two weeks of tuning. Another said multi-topic callers broke theirs.
Fixed price list, a zip-code check, preset time slots. Anything else becomes a message.
