I'd pay a few $ for something that can get the number of an incoming call and tell me who it probably is using AI. I currently do that manually and I think AI could at least achieve accuracy comparable to a human. Not sure if it's possible though, given iOS permissions.

- ksaj 3y agoI honestly wish there was a list akin to how spam blockers work, for the various phone and text annoyances out there. The app could simply disable the ring, and not record it in the normal call log, and I'd be so very happy. I get a lot of collections calls for some Mandarin-speaking person who had my phone number once when they got themselves in debt. It's super annoying, because debt collectors always sell their lists to each other, so they keep trying to collect from this person at my number, without knowing it's the wrong number. And I don't even speak Mandarin (I'm as white as Wonder Bread), so I can't even respond to the callers or their recordings either. I block them, but then after a couple months, its onto a new agency, and new Mandarin messages. Thankfully the blocking only takes a few days, but it has definitely taken on a form of harassment. The person who creates such an app as this will quickly become both popular and wealthy.
