Prospect Northgate Alarm, how may I help you?
Agent (AI) Hello, this is Alex Rivera. I'm an AI assistant calling for Dragonfruit AI. Could I get your name, and ask if you handle new product lines or partnerships there?
Prospect Uh, my name's Mike, and possibly. It depends what we're trying to do.
Agent (AI) Hi Mike. We help alarm dealers add video AI on their customers’ existing cameras, so you can offer intrusion and shoplifting detection as a service. Do you handle partnerships like that?
Prospect Yeah, it's me.
Agent (AI) Great. Are you the right person to send a one-page partner overview to?
Prospect It'd be me.
Agent (AI) What's the best email for you?
From Dragonfruit AI’s own outreach on Pitaya. Names, companies and emails changed; lightly trimmed.
What your prospects hear
A recreated example call in Pitaya’s own agent voice: a quote request, called back and booked. Sound on.
Or have the agent call you
Pick a scenario, enter your mobile, and a Pitaya agent calls in seconds.
Calling you now…
Pick up and play along: ask questions, push back, say you’re busy.
That’s a Pitaya call.
Your own agent sounds like that, calling your prospects about what you sell.
The live demo calls US and Canadian mobiles. Elsewhere, sign up and talk to your agent in your browser: the first 15 minutes are free.

Front desks, phone menus, hold queues and voicemail, handled on every call.
Every call written down
Recording, transcript, summary and the details you asked for, plus a list of warm leads.
Compliance built in
AI disclosure, line-type checks, do-not-call lists and calling windows on every call.
What you would set up
Pitaya writes a campaign like this from a sentence about your business. You can change any line in plain English.
- Goal
- Reach the office or facilities manager and book a walk-through for a cleaning quote.
- Opening line
- “Hi, this is Sam calling for Spotless Commercial Cleaning. We clean offices around Dallas. Who looks after cleaning for your building?”
- Instructions
- Ask by role for the office or facilities manager.
- Ask how often the office is cleaned today and whether they are happy with it.
- Offer a free walk-through and two times for it.
An example with a made-up company. The agent adds the AI disclosure itself.
Pay as you go, billed per second

How Pitaya keeps your calls within the rules
- The agent says it is an AI at the start of every call (in its opening line or its first reply), and that the call is recorded. If anyone asks, it says so again.
- Every number’s line type is checked before the first call: business lines and landlines are called; mobiles only when the contact’s consent is on file.
- “Don’t call me again” goes on your workspace’s do-not-call list at once, for every campaign.
- Calls go out only inside the hours and days you set, in each contact’s own time zone.
- Your part: consent where it is needed, and checking residential numbers against the National Do Not Call Registry. Pitaya is for calling businesses; it is not for calling consumers without consent.
