Why AI Voice Agents Can't Hang Up
Episode 5524
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
A screening bot should attend your low-value sales calls and hang up when the pitch goes nowhere. The hard part isn't the screening logic — it's the ending. Conversational models have no built-in concept of a conversation concluding, so two reactive agents will politely agree to stop and then keep going forever. This episode digs into the mechanism behind that loop, the platform-level fixes voice AI vendors ship to work around it, and what it means when your agent quietly stops representing you mid-call.
