[00:00:08] Speaker 1: But that's really how it feels, doesn't it? When the AI doesn't understand you the first time, you have to repeat yourself all over again and it makes for a very negative experience.

And it gets worse, users also said that they hate when the voice agent interrupts them mid-sentence. So it's no surprise that 95% of users have been frustrated with voice agents at some point.
