What Autodial prev Qwest does
Previous Qwest (W19) - skip busy club lines. Autodial (currently exiting) is a service for skipping busy phone lines for everyday people calling businesses. Our goal is to connect people directly to customer service via phone lines by reducing the wait time from 60 minutes to 5 minutes. We cover 10,000 phone lines ranging from financial institutions, telecom, home services, government, etc. The Pivot Club and restaurant lines were non-existent during COVID. We reset the company and shifted focus using more technical skills in machine learning to build a service that millions of americans could use and leverage in the moment -- a service that called government phone lines and handled the call process. Succeeding we expanded quickly expanded and built a model to support people using the service for free.

Company
Autodial prev Qwest
Skip Busy Phone Lines
We built a service that automatically calls busy phone lines for everyday people so they avoid waiting on hold. Our system covers about 10,000 business and government lines, using machine learning to manage call timing and connection. The goal is to cut wait times from an hour to minutes.
We live in Miami, FL and work remotely. Post-YC, the company would remain remote with a base in Miami.
Miami offers a lower cost of living and access to diverse communities who benefit from our service. Remote work suits our small founding team and keeps overhead low.
