@@tech-at-work Tested it and it works like a charm. Now let's see if it can do a German voice as well.

They have a decent list of voices to choose from if you don’t want to train your own, glad it worked!

[@employaiptyltd]

Really helpful and clear instructions. I'm using the service from their dashboard and playing with Zapier now, so your GPT example was just another great example to add to my tools. Thanks for sharing your insights. Much appreciated.

Damn, this is sick! I've been searching for an easy solution to do this, and this is super easy and really cheap compared to sites like synthflow. $20 for 5 hours of calling is amazing. Thanks for jumping through the hoops to figure this out and share it for us. Please make more bland videos. Liked and subscribed!

Working on another now!

[@bennguyen1313]

I have many pdf with handwritten data. I'd like ChatGPT4 (Vision and/or Ai PDF Plugin) to OCR the data from a table, perform some calculations and finally edit or append the pdf with the results. Ultimately, I'd like this to be a standalone browser or desktop application that anyone (even non Plus users) can drag and drop a file into.. but how do you know if the task is even do-able via Assistant API.. or if a Custom GPT must be used? And/Or how do you know if you need a plugin (ex. Ai PDF) or if OpenAI's stock data analysis feature is enough?

[@shake6321]

There are a lot of morons that put out junk and act like "gurus" but you actually know your shit. this is great content w/o hype. I wish you nothing but success. If you ever have time, i'd love to chat as well.

[@tech-at-work]

Thank you for the kind words, wow!

[@cazburee437]

Hi, Can you provide a video that compares and contrasts air ai, vodex, calen ai, grid space, and bland ai? I’m trying to understand each. For example, is vodex just using bland ai? Can I create my own no code phone agent with just a custom gpt and no bland? Are these other companies using bland and just an api integration to their website and selling to customers? I think I’m confusing myself somehow and need more guidance.

[@sergiotapia8198]

Do you have a few to setup my company with this program

[@manjus1234]

Good video very informative. I’ll definitely be setting up custom GPTs with Bland. what are real world that y’all plan on using something like this for?

[@tech-at-work]

Thanks! I could see businesses using this to automatically confirm appointments with customers, but others might be more creative

[@lifehackerlive8552]

Do you create these for companies for a fee? Lmk I'm interested

[@mikew2883]

This is awesome! 👍 I didn't see a method for a response. Only for call and log. Does this actually use the GPT for all the AI responses or is that done on the BlandAI side?

[@tech-at-work]

You’re correct, Bland AI handles the response. They have options on their end to train the response with examples, and other adjustments

[@CharlesBlair]

GREAT VIDEO - I noticed the AI did not follow your prompt it never mentioned the name of the person or your name. When I test this it does not get the names right is this a glitch or something?

[@pierreg.1682]

Thanks for sharing! Is Bland able to hold a complete conversation, deal with prospect objections?

[@tech-at-work]

It can, they recommend you feed it an example conversation in the task prompt just help it understand, but it can generally handle the convo just based on your initial prompt

[@MasterHumphrey]

can you do a video for inbound calls

[@tech-at-work]

Yeah I’ve received this a few times, I’ll look at making video for it

[@Centaurman]

I can’t figure out how to change the voice. Another vid updating schema? 🙏

[@tech-at-work]

I have another video I just released where I show how to change the voice; you have to define it in the task you send to BlandAI

[@MattGerchow]

Can you choose the voice from GPT? Like Cove?

[@tech-at-work]

You could in include the prompt instruction to ask for a voice (or choose from a selection of voices), and update the BlandAI data sent

[@blee0518]

Any other Voice AI platforms you recommend? Bland seems to be slow

[@tech-at-work]

They now offer Turbo, which seems to work a lot faster, you might try that, I don’t have any I’ve found that are faster

[@zahid5266]

Hello, thanks for this useful video. I want to ask question, Is it possible for me to call this ai?

[@loggic-ch]

can i change the voice to german? and i have not live transcription directly on GPT anyone could help please?

[@aqsamaqsood8884]

Very Informative. How can I use A custom Language. I want to use Danish

[@tech-at-work]

Currently, BlandAI only supports English, Spanish, French, and Polish. To change the language, you need to tell the GPT to set “language” to the language code you want; ENG, ESP, FRE, POL respectively

[@aqsamaqsood8884]

@@tech-at-work can we use anyother platform because GPT does support Danish Language. Right ? We do not need to train our own LLM for danish we can use Danish via GPT Through anyother platform.

There are probably other platforms besides Bland AI but I’m not familiar with them. GPT does understand Danish, yes!

I'm imagining that I could upload a spreadsheet with phone, name, task. The ask the GPT to call each row right?

[@tech-at-work]

There’s a batch calling endpoint with Bland that would call each at once, or you could have the GPT go down the list one at a time, yea

[@leandroporfirio1932]

Could we do the same using vapi ai ? I tried but did not work

[@tech-at-work]

Yes, this should also work with Vapi, I’m just getting familiar with Vapi now, I’ll follow up when I know more

[@dr.rbhernandez286]

I would like a GPT to answer my calls. Can this be done?

[@tech-at-work]

Yes! Bland AI sells phone numbers, there’s a monthly fee but you can have it answer the phone, and transfer the call to a different number (your phone number) if criteria are met (ie person says “let me speak with an operator”)

[@Mrmanagerrr]

Can this work with different languages?

[@tech-at-work]

Bland AI currently supports English, French, and Spanish

[@chooffamily7424]

Amazing video really. i tried it as i saw the video and it worked! just a few questions that I have if you can help me: 1. How can I configure the voice? Is there a way? 2. As someone who is not very techy, in general how do I find the right link to put in the shcema gpt? In the documentation there are so many different options. 3. Is there a way to configure the phone number it is calling from? In my tests it was calling from random and different numbers every time, is there a way with bland ai? Anyhow thanks for this amazing video. More on bland would be amazing I am subscribing only thanks to this one. 🎉😎👍💪

[@tech-at-work]

Thanks! Yeah its super easy to create custom voices, I plan to cover this in the next video, but in the app.bland.ai dashboard for your account, there is a voices section, and you can Create Voice Clone at the top right, it just needs some audio to baseline from (then specify the voice_id in your GPT or calling function). Any OpenAPI schema builder will work to create the schema, then you just have to pick which endpoints you need based on what you're trying to do. It will call from random numbers, but Bland AI allows you to purchase a dedicated number if you want (its currently $15/month), then you can specify that in the calling function as the "from" once you've purchased it.

[@donb6514]

I run a business and always have issues with my sales staff ( employees don't want do the hard work anymore) , I would love to see something like this making sales calls for me.

[@cazburee437]

Can it transfer calls to a human agent? How can you update what the person sees on the caller id when they answer? Can it call from a list or do I have to manually have it dial out each time? What happens after the call? Can it take notes or do we need another custom gpt for that?

[@hardeepdhery]

Is blend open source ? How much does it cost for a 5 min call?

[@tech-at-work]

BlandAI is not open source, and they use ChatGPT (which is also not open sourced)

[@hardeepdhery]

@@tech-at-work hello, Thanks for your response ! What about text to speech ? Do you know what models are they using for text to speech, I checked on their website if I'm not wrong they are using eleven labs.

[@syntaxDE]

Wow, super great work! Thank you, sir! But sadly the german language is not supported! :(

I’m seeing similar platforms like vodex supporting over 90 languages. So I guess that answers my previous question. It seems like the tech for vodex is in house and doesn’t use bland ai.

I would suggest not reading what you say. It sounds robotic and I can see your eyes darting back and forth. Just have a few key words to read that will remind you about what you want to talk about.
