  • The Economist.

  • Good morning, Sam's Gift Shop.

  • This is Sam.

  • How can I help you?

  • Oh, hi, Sam.

  • This is Andrew Palmer.

  • I'm calling from Glowforge with a laser cutting operator.

  • I think you've had a conversation with a colleague already.

  • Yeah, actually, I...

  • Do not adjust your sets.

  • I do not now work for an operator of laser cutting thingies,

  • and Sam does not own a chain of gift shops.

  • The person I'm speaking to is actually Glowforge's head of sales, Sam Looters.

  • We're both pretending to be other people

  • because I want to test out the company's AI sales coaching tool.

  • Yeah, actually, I was poking around online.

  • Thanks so much for reaching out, Andrew.

  • I really appreciate it.

  • It's a pleasure.

  • Thanks for taking my call.
