Launched earlier this month, Superagent can now make and receive phone calls on behalf of the user, with countless potential applications.

According to a press release shared with TechRadar Pro, Base44s Superagent
can take on everyday tasks that would otherwise require people to spend time on hold or leave them navigating frustrating phone systems. How Base 44s Superagent works Users start by giving Superagent a goal and providing relevant context on how that goal should be achieved. The AI agent can then proactively contact businesses or customers, asking relevant questions, collecting crucial information, and even navigating supported phone menus. Once the job is complete, the agent will then report back to the user with a summary of what has been done and which outcomes have been achieved. Latest Videos From TechRadar Watch full video here:
