yeah kinda like every doctor office or credit card company we ever call. Imagine if everyone who called us had to go through all these hoops.

Hello thank you for calling [insert your name here]. Please listen closely as our menu options have changed. For questions, press 1. For a one-sided conversation, press 2. To leave a sarcastic jab, press 3. To leave a message with our secretary, press 4. To speak directly with [name], please catch me in person most likely wherever you met me or saw me last. Thank you. Goodbye.

90% of the time whenever you get one of those menus, you can just press 0 to get a real person on the line.

Yeah. I even did that yesterday.

There must be a way for us to implement an IVR right? Just forward our calls somewhere first?

On pixel phones the Android assistant can filter calls for you

It's surprising when people follow the machine's instructions and state who they are and why they are calling. It's not a menu system, but it gets maybe the best 30% of the effect
