Damn, this is sick! I've been searching for an easy solution to do this, and this is super easy and really cheap compared to sites like synthflow. $20 for 5 hours of calling is amazing. Thanks for jumping through the hoops to figure this out and share it for us. Please make more bland videos. Liked and subscribed!
Really helpful and clear instructions. I'm using the service from their dashboard and playing with Zapier now, so your GPT example was just another great example to add to my tools. Thanks for sharing your insights. Much appreciated.
There are a lot of morons that put out junk and act like "gurus" but you actually know your shit. this is great content w/o hype. I wish you nothing but success. If you ever have time, i'd love to chat as well.
The content was great, It would be great if you could make more content about bland ai, 'cause I didn't found any video on how to use bland ai, This would really be a great Idea.
Good video very informative. I’ll definitely be setting up custom GPTs with Bland. what are real world that y’all plan on using something like this for?
This is awesome! 👍 I didn't see a method for a response. Only for call and log. Does this actually use the GPT for all the AI responses or is that done on the BlandAI side?
GREAT VIDEO - I noticed the AI did not follow your prompt it never mentioned the name of the person or your name. When I test this it does not get the names right is this a glitch or something?
Currently, BlandAI only supports English, Spanish, French, and Polish. To change the language, you need to tell the GPT to set “language” to the language code you want; ENG, ESP, FRE, POL respectively
@@tech-at-work can we use anyother platform because GPT does support Danish Language. Right ? We do not need to train our own LLM for danish we can use Danish via GPT Through anyother platform.
Yes! Bland AI sells phone numbers, there’s a monthly fee but you can have it answer the phone, and transfer the call to a different number (your phone number) if criteria are met (ie person says “let me speak with an operator”)
I have many pdf with handwritten data. I'd like ChatGPT4 (Vision and/or Ai PDF Plugin) to OCR the data from a table, perform some calculations and finally edit or append the pdf with the results. Ultimately, I'd like this to be a standalone browser or desktop application that anyone (even non Plus users) can drag and drop a file into.. but how do you know if the task is even do-able via Assistant API.. or if a Custom GPT must be used? And/Or how do you know if you need a plugin (ex. Ai PDF) or if OpenAI's stock data analysis feature is enough?
Thanks! I’ve tried pasting it here but colab won’t let me. You may need a Google account for the colab program to load for you - I’ll try to repost it again when I’m at my computer
@@tech-at-work Thank you, found this one with the scheme 🙂! Another one, if you can help me , is that even when I have made all the right steps when I try to make a call, I cannot.I got this response: Technical issue with the parameters: [debug] Calling HTTP endpoint [debug] Calling HTTP endpoint [debug] Response received. I put the correct country code and task, still nothing. Any idea how to fix it? Thank you in advace.
It can, they recommend you feed it an example conversation in the task prompt just help it understand, but it can generally handle the convo just based on your initial prompt
Hi, Can you provide a video that compares and contrasts air ai, vodex, calen ai, grid space, and bland ai? I’m trying to understand each. For example, is vodex just using bland ai? Can I create my own no code phone agent with just a custom gpt and no bland? Are these other companies using bland and just an api integration to their website and selling to customers? I think I’m confusing myself somehow and need more guidance.
I have a question here: can we manually type name and number in the GPT to make a call? Isn't it possible to integrate a google calendar or an excel sheet in the GPT? so that GPT can automatically call itself?
@@tech-at-work hello, Thanks for your response ! What about text to speech ? Do you know what models are they using for text to speech, I checked on their website if I'm not wrong they are using eleven labs.
Great Video! We build out custom Voice AI integrations with a full stack software for businesses. Integrated into CRM's like HighLevel with Appointment setting, Rebooking, Q&A, etc. We have an affiliate program if you have any interest just let me know! Love your work my friend, keep it up!
I’m seeing similar platforms like vodex supporting over 90 languages. So I guess that answers my previous question. It seems like the tech for vodex is in house and doesn’t use bland ai.
Amazing video really. i tried it as i saw the video and it worked! just a few questions that I have if you can help me: 1. How can I configure the voice? Is there a way? 2. As someone who is not very techy, in general how do I find the right link to put in the shcema gpt? In the documentation there are so many different options. 3. Is there a way to configure the phone number it is calling from? In my tests it was calling from random and different numbers every time, is there a way with bland ai? Anyhow thanks for this amazing video. More on bland would be amazing I am subscribing only thanks to this one. 🎉😎👍💪
Thanks! Yeah its super easy to create custom voices, I plan to cover this in the next video, but in the app.bland.ai dashboard for your account, there is a voices section, and you can Create Voice Clone at the top right, it just needs some audio to baseline from (then specify the voice_id in your GPT or calling function). Any OpenAPI schema builder will work to create the schema, then you just have to pick which endpoints you need based on what you're trying to do. It will call from random numbers, but Bland AI allows you to purchase a dedicated number if you want (its currently $15/month), then you can specify that in the calling function as the "from" once you've purchased it.
I run a business and always have issues with my sales staff ( employees don't want do the hard work anymore) , I would love to see something like this making sales calls for me.
Can it transfer calls to a human agent? How can you update what the person sees on the caller id when they answer? Can it call from a list or do I have to manually have it dial out each time? What happens after the call? Can it take notes or do we need another custom gpt for that?
I would suggest not reading what you say. It sounds robotic and I can see your eyes darting back and forth. Just have a few key words to read that will remind you about what you want to talk about.
Hopped on call with Bland AI COO and he was a d**che lol - Would recommend competitors. Their team doesn't seem aligned with the customer base's best interests.
Thanks to you I've built an amazing live transfer setup!! But please show us how to add Google calendar 🗓️ for real time appointment management.😮 PLEASE 🥺 🙏🙌 I know it's the Dynamic and Tools functions and Google API not understanding the routine yet.
hi can you help me. "The call failed because the account is not authorized to call international numbers. I recommend enabling international permissions on your account or using an alternative method of communication" . Is it possible to pay for this option or is it unavailable? @tech-at-work
BlandAI are rolling out their service to new international customers, depending where you’re located, they may not have service in your country just yet

Awesome!
Awesome! Yes please do more on Bland! Thank you for your great videos and ideas!
Awesome, yeah I wanna train it on custom voices, I think that could be a fun one
@@tech-at-work Tested it and it works like a charm. Now let's see if it can do a German voice as well.
They have a decent list of voices to choose from if you don’t want to train your own, glad it worked!
Thank you for a short, to the point, tutorial and designing this around a very simple and common use case
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the awesome comment!

Thank you so much! Glad you’d found the video useful, I just made a video for making batch calls with BlandAI too!
do you make yourself available for help/consulting on a specific project/projects?
I can try to help, send me an email with details (email on my channel page)
Because of you we are no longer limited to just posting videos.
I’m excited to see what people create in the future!
YES!
Finally somethign creative, not the same rehashed GPT prompts, LLM "tests" and AI tool "reviews".
Great content!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really helpful and clear instructions. I'm using the service from their dashboard and playing with Zapier now, so your GPT example was just another great example to add to my tools. Thanks for sharing your insights. Much appreciated.
Glad it helped! Yeah the Zapier utilization is pretty cool too
Great Great Great video my friend. Thanks for sharing. You're helping a lot of people. Ready for more Bland AI videos from you. Cheers!
Thank you!
Nice! We have been creating ours on flow... good video!
Interesting, is that easier than the GPT platform?
There are a lot of morons that put out junk and act like "gurus" but you actually know your shit. this is great content w/o hype. I wish you nothing but success. If you ever have time, i'd love to chat as well.
Thank you for the kind words, wow!
I love living in the future. AI was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Awesome video! Worth subscribing just for the value of this video. More on Bland pls ;-)
Thanks! I’m working on a few that cover some other elements of Bland AI!
@@tech-at-work Perfect. Looking forward.

Can’t wait until chat gpt adds this feature natively
More bland ai videos please 🙏
Working on another now!
Any other Voice AI platforms you recommend? Bland seems to be slow
They now offer Turbo, which seems to work a lot faster, you might try that, I don’t have any I’ve found that are faster
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!

The content was great, It would be great if you could make more content about bland ai, 'cause I didn't found any video on how to use bland ai, This would really be a great Idea.
I can’t figure out how to change the voice. Another vid updating schema? 🙏
I have another video I just released where I show how to change the voice; you have to define it in the task you send to BlandAI
Thanks a lot sir! This is useful channel!
Thanks! Glad it’s helpful
I’m going to use mine for script practice
cool idea
inspirational
This is very helpful! Thank you for this,
I would like to see a bland ai integration with other than zapier.
Good idea, I’ll see if I can come up with something!
Awesome! please continue, but it's not working for me, it says "ClientResponseError"
Do you have a few to setup my company with this program
can you do a video for inbound calls
Yeah I’ve received this a few times, I’ll look at making video for it
I would like to to call telemarketers during dinner time. :)
Haha AI has its limitations still 🤣
Can you choose the voice from GPT? Like Cove?
You could in include the prompt instruction to ask for a voice (or choose from a selection of voices), and update the BlandAI data sent
please build more with Bland A
Working on another now!

This is awesome! 👍 I didn't see a method for a response. Only for call and log. Does this actually use the GPT for all the AI responses or is that done on the BlandAI side?
You’re correct, Bland AI handles the response. They have options on their end to train the response with examples, and other adjustments
GREAT VIDEO - I noticed the AI did not follow your prompt it never mentioned the name of the person or your name. When I test this it does not get the names right is this a glitch or something?
Do you create these for companies for a fee? Lmk I'm interested
Very Informative. How can I use A custom Language. I want to use Danish

@@tech-at-work can we use anyother platform because GPT does support Danish Language. Right ? We do not need to train our own LLM for danish we can use Danish via GPT Through anyother platform.
There are probably other platforms besides Bland AI but I’m not familiar with them. GPT does understand Danish, yes!
I would like a GPT to answer my calls. Can this be done?
Yes! Bland AI sells phone numbers, there’s a monthly fee but you can have it answer the phone, and transfer the call to a different number (your phone number) if criteria are met (ie person says “let me speak with an operator”)

can i change the voice to german? and i have not live transcription directly on GPT anyone could help please?
I have a question here: can we manually type name and number in the GPT to make a call? Isn't it possible to integrate a google calendar or an excel sheet in the GPT? so that GPT can automatically call itself?
You can manually type in the number to call in the prompt, yes
I have a separate video on linking BlandAI with a google calendar!
I'm imagining that I could upload a spreadsheet with phone, name, task. The ask the GPT to call each row right?
There’s a batch calling endpoint with Bland that would call each at once, or you could have the GPT go down the list one at a time, yea
Can this work with different languages?
Bland AI currently supports English, French, and Spanish
here in miami callaipro is used a lot
Hello, thanks for this useful video. I want to ask question, Is it possible for me to call this ai?
I disabled this bc it would charge me every time someone called it
Could we do the same using vapi ai ? I tried but did not work
Yes, this should also work with Vapi, I’m just getting familiar with Vapi now, I’ll follow up when I know more
Thanks. I tried couple times but I could not compete a call using vapi ai . If you do it , please make a video about it
Hey man I need your help

Hi there! Yes, BlandAI supports English, French, and Spanish, so it should work for you!
Is your custom GPT in GPT store? if yes, what's the name
Unfortunately it’s not.. for it to function, it requires my API key, so it would cost me every time someone used it
Wow, super great work! Thank you, sir!
But sadly the german language is not supported! :(

you are a good man. have this $1000 from my wish
I don't really understand what the benefit of doing this from GPTs is... it seems that Bland has everything covered. Did I miss something?
Does this work for Indian numbers
I've never seen this guy before and I just started watching this video... But I'm starting to wonder if this dude is AI.
Haha I assure you I am not, I’ll take that as a compliment though
I can make her speak another languages?
Bland AI only supports Spanish and French at the moment, but they say they’re working on other languages, so check their site!
Thanks!

Just use that Nvidia eye retoucher that changes the direction of your gaze into the camera lol. And have AI re-dub the audio.
First!😊
Nice!
idk if you knew this but your number is in the video bubble
Hopped on call with Bland AI COO and he was a d**che lol - Would recommend competitors. Their team doesn't seem aligned with the customer base's best interests.
They seem helpful in their Discord, and the few emails we’ve exchanged 🤷♂️
Their public discord invite link listed on their site is also no longer functional...@@tech-at-work
I think your example is flawed. You give the chatbot 2 names, Tom and James, but in the call neither is used. Why is that?
Please no. The last thing in the world we need is more robocallers.
There are legitimate businesses that use these
