Truecaller Assistant Arrives in Australia

Australia, as ever ‘the lucky country’, is the 2nd country in the world to get the Truecaller Assistant. 

With recent scams like the ‘hi mum’ scam, Australia Post and bank-related scams, and lots of fake crypto scams, it’s never been a better time to add a layer of defense on your phone. 

Truecaller’s SMS filtering can easily help you avoid SMS-based scams. Caller ID also lets you know who’s calling. But the Truecaller Assistant is the ultimate time-saving feature to protect from scams, telemarketing, spam, and unwanted calls.

The Assistant uses machine learning and advanced speech-to-text to find out who is calling and the reason for the phone call. Our AI filters this data and with 90% accuracy, will tell you if the call is spam or not. From there it’s up to you whether to pick up the call or not.

How Does It Work and what will the Assistant do for me?

When you get a call it rings on your phone as usual.

But if you decline or don't answer the call, it'll be forwarded to your digital Assistant. They'll answer and screen it for you using voice-to-text technology. When the caller responds to your Assistant, you'll be able to see who's calling and why on the screen.

The caller will hear the assistant asking ‘hi, the person you're calling is using a screening service, may I ask who it is?’ and the reason for the call. From here you can open up the chat window if you need more information. Then you can decide whether to accept or reject the call. 

Forget accidentally ignoring important calls for deliveries and leaving them to the mercy of porch pirates. Forget missing important reminders from your doctor or your children’s school. And for those waiting for an important call back for a new job, you can be sure that you’ll know exactly which call that is, and won’t miss it amongst a sea of other calls.’
