Truecaller Assistant is essentially a customizable, interactive, digital receptionist that answers users’ calls on their phones and also helps them avoid unwanted callers. After receiving a call, the assistant will respond quickly and understand the caller with high accuracy.
Users will be shown a live transcription of what the caller is saying, after which they can decide whether they want to take the call, ask the caller for more information with just a tap, or mark it as spam.
