Show HN: CallSitter – bot that answers my calls and wastes scammers' time
Anyone else get a lot of dumb scam calls? These days I mostly get them on my mobile. I used to just ignore them, but then I got fed up and built a bot that answers my calls and wastes their time. It runs on OpenAI Live 1. Jev classifies each call as spam, scam or genuine and steers the bot accordingly. Works like a charm. All my calls go to the bot now. I can also steer it from Telegram mid-call. In this one the bot ended up accusing the scammer of being an AI :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpuTzRg8_fU

Good video, but the Callsitter repository returns a 404.

if you pick these calls up it proves you are a real number and will get more calls instead, have your AI answer as "jacks Pzza" or "office depot headquarters boise ID" and they will re-classify your number. if you want to fight for your number you have to start thinking of your phone number as part of a giant global database and convince the big data brokers you are not who you say you are
