A prototype that actually picks up the phone.
Describe the idea, publish a line a tester can call, then revise or replace it as the brief changes.
- Caller
This is just a test, right? What happens if I ask something totally off-script?
- Agent
I’ll answer what I can, and say plainly when something’s outside what I was given. Go ahead.
- Caller
Okay — can you help me file a tax return?
- Agent
That’s outside what this line handles. I can take a message, or you can ask me something closer to what I was built for.
- Off-script — held the boundary

What a prototype has to survive.
A tester trying to break it on purpose
It declines what it cannot do instead of improvising past the brief.
A stakeholder calling without warning
After publication, a tester can call the line without a separate demo environment.
A caller who assumes it’s a real employee
It says what it is when asked rather than keeping up an act.
Feedback that means the brief has to change
Edit the brief and republish. The next call uses the new version.
A test call at 2am before a demo
It follows the published brief before the demo and in the room.
A version nobody needs after tomorrow
Replace it when the brief changes; nothing needs a separate migration path.
Why a prototype starts as a Callable.
Real from the first call
A described line is a line a tester can call.
Change it as fast as the feedback
Edit the brief, republish, and the next call follows the new version.
Provider-agnostic underneath
Hearing, reasoning, and voice can change independently as the prototype evolves.
It knows what it isn’t, out loud.
A prototype should name its limits. This one says what it cannot do.
- Caller
Just so I know, what exactly can’t you do on this call?
- Agent
I can’t take actions like booking, transferring, or updating a system — I only answer what I’ve been given and take down the details. I’ll flag this test in the summary so you can see exactly how it reads.
- The refusal turn — required to pass
Describe the line you need.
