TalkOrHoldForMe
About this project
In one sentence, what are you building?
An AI agent that calls customer support for you, waits on hold, can talk with customer support on your behalf, or if you want, alert you the moment a real human picks up
What problem are you solving?
Calls to customer support waste hours: you go through phone menus, then wait on hold for 30–90 minutes. If you step away, you can miss the moment a person finally answers. HoldForMe does the dial, the menus and the wait for you. It finds the correct support number and menu path, and listens to the line. It knows the difference between hold music, recorded messages and a live person. When a real representative answers, it alarms you. Then it hands the call to you: it transfers the call to your phone, connects you in the browser, or lets the AI agent state your issue.
