iPhones have exactly this. It’s a voice assistant that asks why you’re calling and who you’re trying to reach. You then get a transcript of it and can read it live as it’s being recorded/transcribed.
If I call someone and hear this, I hang up immediately. I’m not engaging with this AI assistant bullshit and I get out of having to have the phone conversation …double win.
I don’t think the Apple one at least is any kind of AI/LLM, just a message that plays asking you to state who you are and your reason for calling, then it shows a transcript on the phone ringing alert for you to decide if you want to answer or not.
I need an answering machine that can transcribe the message and email it to me. I would whitelist a select few that can actually reach me.
“You’ve reached rgb, speak your message after the beep and it will be transcribed and emailed to rgb.”
I had a phone that translated voice messages to text but it didn’t email them, I think it was a Samsung note 20.
Visual voicemail is a thing, I have Google Fi and it automatically transcribes and texts me

Obligatory “Android had it first”. That is all, carry on.

Then apparently it’s doing its job since you only hear this if you aren’t in the other person’s contact list.
