Valid concern. That’s why we focused on responsible use cases such as appointment bots, IVRs, or call reminders, not spam. Our project is open-source, modular, and designed for ethical, contextual automation.

I did some freelancing around LLMs for startups and I can't tell you the amount of times I've had to reject "great ideas" that were just about spamming people. Almost had a big red sign "no outbound!"

Completely agree. Our goal is to enable smart automation for legitimate, helpful use cases, not intrusive marketing. We also built in Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) support so humans can intervene any time.

It's still illegal to place outbound automated calls, and it has been since like the 90s. There's even a simpsons episode about it

I would like to use AI to talk to those spammers/scammers. When the adversary is using AI why shouldn't we to defend from it.

You absolutely can. Our framework can answer calls, run speech-to-text, analyze intent, and respond with LLMs, making it a great defensive tool against spam or scam calls.

Great, I'll definitely check it out.

Boardy ai is pretty nice. Not sure it counts as outbound since you request it to call you.
