AI Haggler

AI Haggler is an artificial intelligence agent designed to make phone calls on behalf of users who dislike or avoid speaking on the phone. Its core function is to automate telephone interactions with businesses, service providers, and hotels, saving users time and mental effort. The agent can gather information from multiple businesses by calling them to ask about prices, availability, hours, or other specific details. For example, if a user needs to find a dentist, plumber, lawyer, or dog walker, the AI agent will call several local providers, ask about their services, and report back with a summary of options. It can also negotiate with hotels, particularly for last-minute bookings, by calling the hotel directly to check room availability and then bargaining for a lower rate. This eliminates the need for the user to make repeated calls or negotiate verbally. Another key capability is appointment booking: the AI agent can make follow-up calls to confirm appointments or schedule new ones for services such as medical checkups, haircuts, or car repairs. The agent is designed to handle real-time conversations, adapting to the responses it receives from human operators. It can ask clarifying questions, provide information about the user’s preferences, and confirm details during the call. The system is currently in an early release phase, with plans to expand its functionality to cover more types of calls, such as ordering food, requesting quotes from contractors, or arranging travel logistics. The agent operates by simulating natural speech patterns, using a voice that is polite and professional. It can be activated through a simple interface where the user inputs the type of task, the target business name or category, and any specific instructions (e.g., “ask for the best
