Human-like voice LLMs
What this task is
Following a set script to pitch a product or service to prospects over the phone, answering common questions, handling standard objections and trying to spark real interest.
How AI replaces it
From 2023, human-like voice LLMs could deliver pitches naturally and adapt to what the prospect says. As latency drops and conversations flow better, most scripted pitching is expected to be machine-handled by 2028, within telemarketing rules.
What stays human
People write the scripts and value propositions, take over the difficult questions the AI handles poorly, and audit samples of AI calls for accuracy and compliance.
