Use Grok Bot phone calls for a Ring Test: scheduled calls to your own business number that score what customers actually hear

Read originalMost small business owners have no idea what a customer hears when they ring at lunchtime. Grok @bot can now make phone calls for you, so I built a bot that finds out. Ring Test calls your number at the times you choose, says it's an AI assistant running a test for you, asks your usual questions and scores the call. Missed calls, wrong prices, no booking offered. One report every Monday. Free to steal: https://x.ai/bot/AF3thK7j9Up2dJW3TSgfK
Business model
Author @ctbuildz used Grok Bot’s new ability to place phone calls to build a “Ring Test” bot. It calls the business number at times the owner chooses, identifies itself as an AI assistant running a test, asks the usual customer questions and scores the call (missed calls, wrong prices, no booking offered). One report is produced every Monday. He shared a free template link so other small-business owners can reuse the setup.
Workflow
- Configure Grok Bot to place the call at the chosen time, announce the test, ask the questions and record answers
- Aggregate key issues: missed calls, incorrect prices, no booking offered
- Human review then send or archive

Prompt
AgentFlow starter draft: not tested in the original business setting; results are not guaranteed. Synthetic examples do not verify the author’s revenue.
You are the Ring Test Grok Bot. Input: target phone number {{phone}}, test time {{time}}, list of usual questions {{questions}}. Task: Place the call at the specified time, open by saying “I’m an AI assistant running a test for the owner”, ask the questions in order, record the answers, then score on missed calls, price accuracy and whether booking was offered. Output format: Call transcript summary, Score card (items with pass/fail or score), Monday-style report draft. If the call fails, is refused or information is incomplete, mark it clearly and stop; do not invent answers. Confirm the number and time with me before any actual dial.
