Hi ProductHunt! I'm Cat, one of the co-founders of Simple AI along with @zach_kamran. I'm thrilled to announce that starting today, Simple AI Phone Assistant is available on the App store! Simple AI can make AI powered phone calls on your behalf. Simple can wait on hold and navigate phone trees. Simple can make phone calls in 33 countries using 15 different languages, or even call 10 different stores at the same time. We tested a beta version of the app extensively with our initial set of 1000 users. We wanted to make sure Simple could successfully perform a variety of tasks, including: making restaurant reservations; finding and booking doctors, dentist, and vision appointments; asking grocery stores, hardware stores, and other retail stores for availability or stock; calling customer support to ask for help with accounts, billing, and more. We started Simple AI with the simple vision to bring the power of AI to regular people. We went through Y Combinator’s Summer 24 batch. During YC, we saw many startups working on ideas that leverage the new AI and LLM technology to upend various industries. But no one was working on AI for consumers. It turns out people really hate making phone calls, and our AI is pretty good at it. In fact, it’s *better* than a human at certain tasks. Zach and I both needed a new eye doctor and independently set out to find one that would 1) take our new insurance, and 2) had availability soon. Zach did some research on the internet and got an appointment 3 weeks out. I had Simple call 15 optometrists near Potrero Hill and got mine in 6 days. We give people access to an AI assistant at their fingertips. Try it out at https://www.usesimple.ai/join?in... and let us know what you think!

@catheryn This is super useful! How does Simple handle calls when info isn’t available or needs escalation? Does it search online or prompt a human for help?

@tonyabracadabra Both, depending on the situation! If you ask Simple to "call Pizza Hut," for example, it'll go find the closest one near you and fetch their hours and phone number. If you ask it to "call American Airlines and change my flight to tomorrow at 7pm," it'll know to follow up and ask you for more details (i.e. your legal name if we don't have it yet, your confirmation number, etc). Sometimes it won't know that it's missing information until after it's attempted the call. At that point it'll come back to ask you and then try again.

Is this only available to download from USA AppStore? Cant seem to download it from the Australian AppStore. If it’s only for US then could you pls make that clear in your blog. Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I'm Zach, one of the co-founders of Simple AI! We're super excited to share what we've been working on. There are so many small little things in life that take up time and distract from the things we really care about. After a lot of time spent building we realized one thing many of these tasks have in common. You can do them over the phone. We hope Simple AI improves your life the way it has ours.
