AI tool to waste scammers' time from @brodyautomates

The creator explains a complex automated workflow he built to waste the time of scam callers. He walks the viewer through the entire process, starting from when a scam call is detected and routed to a 'Grandpa Simulator' AI. He then breaks down the various modules the AI uses to frustrate the scammer, including pretending to have hearing problems, asking endless irrelevant questions, putting them on hold with annoying music, going on unrelated tangents, requiring non-existent forms, and finally offering to pay in obscure cryptocurrencies. The video uses screen recordings of the workflow and simulated call graphics to illustrate each step, culminating in the scammer hanging up and a 'victory' report being sent.

Transcript excerpt

Built this workflow because I got really annoyed with scam callers. Essentially worst the time of any scam caller. And if you want this workflow, I'm going to give it to you for completely free. So here's how it worse. When it detects an incoming scam call, it goes into the grandpa simulator. Hello, sir. This is Sameer from Telus. I'm calling because Hey, Sameer. My name's Chuck. Sir? I recently just won the lottery of $3,100,000. This will go into an AI agent, so this will be the LLM that we use to decide what responses to hit the scam caller with when it converses. And there are a variety of different pathways that this can go to. An ideal scam call will hit all of these. First of all, we have the hearing problem module. So in tier, it will say things like Tier? Can you speak up, dear? Hello? Say again? Yeah. I'm speaking as loud as I can, sir. Please listen to me. I can't. I'm calling you from TELUS for a special offer, sir. Can you repeat that slow? Then we'll go into a question multiplier where we'll ask a ton of questions as so. But your mother's maiden name.
