What this call demonstrates

The shortest call here and the one a phone assistant is judged on: someone does not want an assistant. He is not asked what it is about, not told what the assistant could have done, and not asked to give it a chance.

How it endsPut through after 16 seconds, transcript discarded, the request never asked for.

The business, the caller and the conversation are invented — no real company, and no recorded call. The transcript is scripted text and runs entirely in your browser.

The call, turn by turn

These calls are scripted and run entirely in your browser. There is no telephony connection. Where a recording is on file, it is played from our own server; otherwise the reading voice built into your device takes over — that one sounds very different from device to device, and it is not the sound of the assistant.

Transcript
Ended and discarded at the handover. What remains is the log entry: call, time, transfer.
If nobody is free
Then the assistant says exactly that, names the next time somebody can be reached and takes a callback. It does not negotiate, and it does not ask what the call is about then either.

The shortest call in this set, and the one a phone assistant is judged on. It did not ask what the call was about, did not list what it could have done, and did not ask for a chance. An assistant you have to argue your way out of is a hold queue with better diction.

Playback is condensed. The timestamps are those of the call itself.
