Phone calls are still required for many services in Japan—but making calls on trains is frowned upon. Callout lets AI handle them for you. Trigger a call from Web or Slack and the AI will speak in English or Japanese, manage the conversation, and show a live transcript while it completes tasks like booking or rescheduling appointments.
Hey Product Hunters 👋 Max here, founder of Callout.
If you’ve ever lived in Japan, you know the pain:
so many things still require making a phone call 📞
Book a restaurant.
Reschedule a dentist appointment.
Confirm a reservation.
Two problems though:
🚫 Not everyone speaks Japanese (or English) well enough to handle these calls
🚫 Making phone calls in public places (like on the train 🚅) is frowned upon
So we built Callout.
Callout lets AI make real phone calls for you in English or Japanese.
Trigger a call from Web or Slack, watch the live transcript, and the AI handles the conversation and completes the task.
The moment it felt magical for me:
rescheduling a dental appointment from my seat on the Shinkansen without saying a word.
🚀 Callout is live today
🎁 First call is free — try it yourself.
We’d love your feedback:
• What phone calls would you want AI to make for you?
• Would you trust AI to talk to businesses on your behalf?
• What integrations should we add next?
Thanks for checking us out 🙏
This would also be really helpful when you feel awkward calling someone, or if you’re shy in general ;)
I used this when I was busy at work and couldn’t make the call myself, but needed to book something quickly. It was honestly so helpful.
Even when it’s not urgent, I’d still want to use it if I want to review the conversation afterward or if I’m just not in the mood to make a phone call!!
