Evidence: Shown on videoThe source includes a video or screen recording of the agent doing the task.

Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.

Outcome

In a filmed test, Genspark's calling agent phoned a church, asked whether it had a young adults group and what ages it served, got a clear answer (Friday nights, ages 18–31) and a follow-up about another group, then returned a transcript and summary; a separate restaurant booking call stalled.

Prompt Recreated prompt

The source didn't share its exact prompt, so we wrote this from what it describes.

Before you start, ask me 1–3 short questions about the details below and wait for my answers. Once I've answered, confirm the plan in one line and run the whole task start to finish.

Goal: Make a quick phone call for me to get an answer from a business.

Quick-check questions: Who should be called, what exactly do you need to know, and anything they shouldn't be told?

What I need from you:
- Business name (as listed on Google Maps)
- Your questions
- Your name, or how the agent should introduce itself

Rules:
- Keep to simple questions; don't book or pay.
- Return the transcript and a short summary.
- Introduce yourself as an assistant calling for me.
- If you hit a phone menu, wait for a person.
- If no one answers, tell me rather than redialling repeatedly.
- Have it introduce itself as calling on my behalf and keep the call under five minutes.
- Give me a written summary of the answer and anything I need to follow up on.

Output: The answer, a summary and the transcript.

If my answers leave a gap, make a sensible choice, say what you assumed, and keep going.

You'll know it worked when: you get a clear answer without making the call yourself.
