AI calling is still expensive and full of promotional spam, but once scaling laws kick in, India may see an unprecedented wave of AI-powered calls.
Right now, the cost of an AI call is still too high, and we continue to get flooded with promotional calls that add noise rather than value. The current state of AI calling feels more like a novelty than a utility, and for most people in India, it has not yet crossed the threshold of being genuinely useful.
But that threshold is coming. Scaling laws have a way of reshaping things faster than we anticipate. When the cost per AI call drops dramatically and the quality of conversation improves, we may see something entirely new — an unprecedented wave of AI calls sweeping across India. Customer support, local services, health check-ins, educational tutoring, and countless other use cases could open up overnight.
For now, it is worth watching and waiting. The boom has not arrived yet, but the pieces are being laid. When it does pick up, it will change how millions of people interact with technology through the simplest interface we have: a phone call.
