- dgnorton 8y agoDitto, except the one I wrote only works for landlines. https://github.com/dgnorton/norobo https://github.com/dgnorton/norobo
- Noah-Huppert 8y agoCool! Definitely very helpful. I still get tons of robo calls on the landline.
- justusthane 8y agoThat is very cool. I love how retrofuturistic it feels.
- bin01 8y agoVery neat! Given that an average user doesn't receive many calls a day, it would be cheaper to operate if this could be implemented completely serverless using Cloud Firestore & Cloud Functions.
- sephlietz 8y agoAre you aware of any robocallers that have answered your "simple arithmetic question" correctly?
- Noah-Huppert 8y agoNot that have targeted me! If you have encountered any robo callers who have please let me know. My idea was that if the robo callers get past the simple arithmetic questions I would give them harder ones like "which of these items doesn't belong? 1) ball 2) blue 3) red 4) green?" or other SAT / standardized test questions.

- gregorymichael 8y agoHey Noah! This is pretty sweet. Would love to send you a t-shirt. Care to drop me an email at gb@twilio.com?
- Noah-Huppert 8y agoSure thanks!
