Blobfish AI - AI Dialer that Talks, Qualifies Leads, and Books Meetings
Blobfish is a human-like AI Dialer that engages in back-and-forth conversations with your prospects. It can call thousands of numbers in minutes, filter out bad numbers or voicemails, and ask lead qualifying questions - 10x your junior SDR’s outbound work.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm excited to share the story behind Blobfish AI and why we built it.
At our last startup, US Air Supply, we scaled to $1M ARR in 18 months through cold calling. We ran a team of 13 SDRs in a boiler-room setup, grinding out hundreds of calls each day.
But the process was painfully inefficient.
Our connection rate was just 2% with numbers purchased from ZoomInfo and Apollo. SDRs spent most of their time calling voicemails, dead numbers, front desks, or the wrong contacts. Out of all the conversations, only 14% led to a booked meeting, and only 60% would show up. That meant high CAC and low morale.
We also tried VA, traditional dialers, and enrichment tools—but nothing really worked. Dialers had delays that killed conversations. Lead enrichment was slow and manual. On average, each SDR booked just 19 meetings a month. No matter what we did, cold outbound was a grind.
We felt the pain deeply—burnout and churn were constant. Asking reps to hit 400 dials and 100 talk minutes a day just wasn’t sustainable. It was hard to retain talents, and every new hire felt like starting from zero.
We knew there had to be a better way. So we built it.
Blobfish started as a simple tool to weed out dead numbers—but over time, it evolved into a powerful AI Dialer that sounds human-like, engages in real conversations, and qualifies leads at scale.
Blobfish doesn’t just call. It talks like your top sales rep, asks qualifying questions you can’t find in any database (like ERP vendors or Cloud providers), and books meetings directly onto your team’s calendar.
Our dream was simple: wake up to a calendar full of qualified meetings—without grinding through 1,000 calls.
That’s the future we’re building with Blobfish.

@anna_raafat Love this 🙌
@anna_raafat Thanks so much for supporting Anna 🙌🏼 In terms of language, we already have customers deploying Chinese, and we're planning to roll out Spanish, Vietnamese, German soon. Is there a language you'd love to see?
@anna_raafat yes Anna, we actually already have existing customer that call homeowner with Mandarin to confirm about home tour. We are actually also rolling new features for language support as well as using local phone number. This is a bit trickier because of the compliance.

@anna_raafat Noted 🫡 Will incorporate your feedback and keep you posted on the launch timeline for these two.
@angellin821 @anna_raafat what's the main sceneario for French and Portuguese? Do you need to call people in France or calling people in US but speak in French or Portuguese?
Scene
This looks really slick! The voice sounds really human-like, although a bit salesy to my taste. Do you have in your roadmap a way to select from different conversational styles, or an ability to customize this?
Also pricing looks pretty friendly, but I was also wondering, if there is any guarantee of the conversion rate (probably not as it depends on offer desirability which you can't control).
Last thing I'm wondering about is the response speed. Currently there are quite noticeable pauses before answers which is a LLM limitation you probably can't do anything about. But it would be nice if you can elaborate on when do you think this will improve.
Great work, and good luck with the launch! 🚀
@martinmaricak Hi Martin, thank you so much for the comment. We actually test few different voices as well as cloning, and we pick the highest performing voice.
We see at least 40% connection rate, which is a 20x boost from industry standard. Most of customers are able to hit 70% connection rate. Love to see what's the connection rate you would need to make this worth onboarding?
For the pause, we are currently doing around 1300ms. This can be improved with fine tuning. If this is something interesting, for the enterprise customer, we do train custom voice model for latency closer to 600ms. For anything faster, we really are limited by the model we pick.
Thank you again.
@martinmaricak Thanks for the thoughtful comment Martin. Appreciate all feedback 🙌🏼

Can you name companies or at least number of clients you currently have?
@busmark_w_nika Hi Nika, we have few customers already including Century 21 for the commercial real estate, Coldwell Banker, Keller William. In the Medical devices, we have a huge customer like Astron Medtech, that use us extensively for calling surgeon. We also have few customer in the industrial space such as Celestica

@samuel_chien At the moment, it sounds like a solid list. If I knew someone or a company that could use your app, I would pass this app to them :)
@busmark_w_nika We're also working with 2 design partners in the Fintech space :)

Huge congratulations on the launch!
This is a very interesting concept. How does this differentiate from other voice agents? Why can't I just build something similar using N8N?
@abbas143official Hi Ghulam, that's great question. We really focus on connection rate. The voice model is trained for the SDR use cases and it understand how to plan for a phone call in 5 step process. We have also cache sales enablement documents for LLM workflow to hit. On top of that, our voice model has connected to MCP server for google calendar and hubspot. It's an end to end integration. It is also a bit tricky to maintain the phone repetition while concurrently firing 50 phone lines. We made it such that you can launch within 5 mins.
@abbas143official Thanks for the support Ghulam!
Well done @angellin821 Keep up the great work!
@angellin821 @karimhijazi Thank you so much! Let us know if you run into any question with the product.
huge congrats on the launch, everyone! 🎉
I know very well the grind of cold email, cold calling, cold everything. We've also felt some version of that frustration, although on a much lower scale!
Gotta say it, though - Blobfish AI! 😂 Definitely memorable. Love the creativity, you won't forget that name anytime soon!
Question, how much can users tweak the AI's 'personality' or the specific qualifying questions it uses for different campaigns?
@mia_k1 qualifying questions can easily be modify for each campaign you are running. The AI personality can also be tweak. The best way to train AI's personality is to feed your sales enablement documents.
:) We draw the logo ourselves XD
@samuel_chien haha love it!!
@mia_k1 Thanks for your support! Yahini looks promosing - just subscribed for notification. Wish you huge success on your launch day 💪🏼
@angellin821 thank you so much, Angel <3
I was intrigued by Blobfish AI's potential to revolutionize lead qualification & appointment setting.
Its capability to
engage in human-like conversations,
filter out unresponsive contacts, &
schedule meetings autonomously
...is impressive.
For teams heavily reliant on outbound calls, especially in sales, this app could significantly boost efficiency & reduce manual workload. Just give it a try.
Thanks Blogfish AI team, @angellin821 & @samuel_chien for creating such a promising solution to streamline processes & enhance productivity. for folks working in high-volume outreach roles.
@angellin821 @theparthvyas_ Hi Parth, thank you so much for the kind words. We really try to listen to our customer as much as possible. So any feedback here will shape our roadmap.
Very useful tool for business development that optimizes time and cost!
@fabrizio_cesarini Glad you think so! We're giving back time to BDR, now they can focus on meaningful conversations and closing deals 👏🏼
@fabrizio_cesarini thank you so much for the kind words. We build it for ourselves, and we really hope it also solve your problem.
I like the problem Blobfish AI solves! Can it deal with serious conversations like closing a deal with a buyer?
@hyuntak_lee Of course, it can takes in sales enablement documents allowing you to customize the conversation flow. feel free to try out what it sounds like from our home page call me button.
@hyuntak_lee Add to Angel's note, we actually allow you to build customized scenarios, and 5 step process to follow up with customers. it's not an exact script, AI will process previous phone call and tweak the next phone call.
@samuel_chien Sounds awesome it can process previous phone call and learns custom scenarios. Definitely would help deloading hassles with Customer Service Call cases I guess!
Love the idea of an AI dialer that can handle lead qualification and bookings. Congrats on the launch! 🚀👏
@poushali_dasgupta1 Thank you so much! we are super excited about this launch!

better sounding voice than others I've seen, looks promising for anyone in the market for it.
@anthony_latona Thank you so much for the feedback. We really fine tune the voice model to tailor to sales scenario.
Super promising. Cold calling is brutal. If Blobfish can truly fix that and even handle reschedules, it’s a game changer!
@yui0303 Thanks Yu-Cheng! Meeting reschedule is upcoming --- stay tuned 👀
@yui0303 Thank you for the feedback. We also integrate directly with Google
Amazing pitch and idea. Cold outbound is definitely one of the toughest grind out there, and I think you have done a pretty good job in simplifying this and making the process less painful and more efficient. Kudos to the team!
Congratulations on the launch!
@pranay12 Thanks for liking it! Good luck with your launch too - Happy to support back :)

Congratulations on launch man! @samuel_chien
@suryansh_tiwari2 Thank you so much Suryansh. We are super excited for people to try it out! :)
@suryansh_tiwari2 Thanks for supporting us here :)
Impressive work! It’s exciting to see AI being applied in ways that can streamline outreach and open up new opportunities for businesses. Cold calling has always been one of the more time-consuming (and often daunting) parts of sales, so having a tool that can take on that initial contact thoughtfully and efficiently is a game-changer.
I’m especially curious about how you’re balancing automation with authenticity, making sure the calls still feel human, helpful, and respectful. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves and supports teams in working smarter, not just harder!
@melissa61436 Thanks for support & love your comment! Totally hear you — we use real call data and feedback loops to train the AI on natural tone, active listening, and respectful handling of objections. Every script is tailored to the target audience, and we constantly A/B test to make sure calls feel human, not robotic.
@melissa61436 This is a really good question. We try to make the voice as human-like as possible and it has all the context from earlier conversation. We are also rolling out cloning user voice in the next release
All the best for the launch @samuel_chien& team!
@parekh_tanmay thank you so much Tanmay
