Used an AI assistant to make a birthday call and it handled retries like a human

I tried something small but interesting recently and thought it might fit here. A friend of mine had a birthday, and I couldn’t call at the right time, so I used an AI assistant to place a call on my behalf. The instructions were simple but a bit creative: wish him a happy birthday, sing to him, and jokingly offer to do “anything” for him. What stood out wasn’t just that it could complete the task, but how it handled failure. The first call went to voicemail, and instead of stopping there, it actually retried later on its own something I didn’t explicitly manage.
