Jake Maisel asks his AI receptionist to switch language in the middle of a conversation. It answers in Afrikaans, then isiXhosa, then Arabic, and nothing is rebuilt in between. He also shows what else you can change: the script, the parameters and the guardrails, by typing or by talking to it. 74 seconds.

There are so many more fun little things to explore. I want to explore it one more time by showing you guys something else. So let's let's test it again.

Answering in Afrikaans

Answer me as if I'm in Afrikaans. Please answer speak Afrikaans.

Speak

Script it, set the parameters, set the guardrails

I mean this is really cool. Look, I'm going to stop there. You can basically build your AI bot in any way that you want. You can script it.

You can set its parameters. There are so many things to do. I don't have time to go through every nitty-gritty. You're going to have to go into the link in the subscription and get it for yourself.

It's a super helpful super helpful app because you can build it, test it immediately, and then set the guardrails for it. I just want to instill that. You can do it manually, but you can also do it on the voice. I've explored a little bit of both.

There are so many things that we could go into deeper here. This is just the start, and it takes literally a couple minutes to set up.
