Show HN: Boilerroom: dialer, call recording, and managed follow-up

hello HN, let me tell you why i built boilerroom (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boilerroom.ai" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;boilerroom.ai</a>).<p>throughout my past endeavours in sales, the one thing that thoroughly pissed me off was living in a million places to execute one thing; the outbound motion<p>this includes everything top of funnel like finding leads (be it inbound or outbound), researching, filtering for qualification criteria, throwing them in a sequence, engaging them via dialer, email, and linkedin, gathering context, all the way through bottom of funnel like discovery calls, demo calls, and post-sales activities<p>what absolutely does not exist (or if it does, a piss-poor model) is a place to simply execute this work in one place<p>why tf do i have to be on clay, or apollo, clicking around looking for leads, researching them around myself, put them in to some other garbage software to sequence to tell me when to make a call or send out automated emails, only to get a massive backlog of things I was supposed to do, which in turn makes my whole flow look like one big giant mess, which stresses me tf out, which reduces the shit out of my active revenue generating activities?<p>One platform to solve all<p>boilerroom is the only sales engagement platform for outbound teams, and the ONLY AI part is to handle the busywork around prospecting and calls, such as research, putting together context, transcribing calls, summarizing outcomes, and drafting the follow-up task before the rep has even gotten off the call. Otherwise everything else is pretty straightforward. Here’s what’s under the hood<p>under the hood: next.js 14 (app router) + react 19, prisma over postgres on supabase, deployed on vercel<p>- calling runs through twilio on the server, the twilio voice js sdk for the in-browser webrtc dialer call recordings get transcribed via elevenlabs email sends through resend, plus gmail api oauth so reps can send from their own inbox instead of a shared one meeting recording&#x2F;transcription runs on top of recall.ai (their bot joins the call itself)<p>for the actual ai part: call summaries, drafted follow-ups, account research briefs, and the scoring on our AI cold-call trainer — everything goes through a single OpenAI-compatible client pointed at Grok (api.x.ai&#x2F;v1, grok-3-mini-fast)<p>we started on anthropic&#x27;s api for all of this and moved almost everything over to grok recently. calling an llm on every transcript&#x2F;summary&#x2F;draft shit adds up fast<p>anyhow, if you run a sales team i&#x27;d love your input&#x2F;feedback&#x2F;questions&#x2F;ideas, especially from anyone who has opinions about what&#x27;s missing or what we got wrong. happy to answer anything about the product or the stack<p>cheers all

Do they know we can tell it's AI slop?

What do I do when the entrepreneurs I work for send out AI slop in their communications?<p>I work for a great group of entrepreneurs as CTO&#x2F;fCFO. They are all sales guys. In my childhood and professional career, I have seen so many toxic partnerships. I don’t waste any time on those anymore and I genuinely respect the guys I work for.<p>So, to the main question, what do I do when it’s blatant that they are just copying AI slop from Grok or chatGPT? I notice it all the time. But I genuinely respect these guys (unlike my son’s inadequate math teacher who pastes AI slop into emails to me…). It’s an 80&#x2F;20 issue. For a majority of their audience, they make a positive and knowledgeable impression. But for the rest of us, it’s it takes them down a notch. I don’t want them embarrassing themselves in front of our bankers&#x2F;financers&#x2F;corporate partners.<p>Three recent examples: (1) Critique of a new SEO site pre-launch. We ended up firing the firm, but they lost all respect once the email was sent. (2) interviewing a new controller, so apparent when they pulled out canned questions from an LLM. (3) a proposed job costing procedure for a new entity&#x2F;line of business. A 10 page document like I was used to seeing when I worked at public companies. Disconnected from the current state of the business.<p>I love these guys. Is it possible to send a message about how they are viewed without offending?
