Ask Claude to check if a store has it in stock

The website says "in stock", then the shop says otherwise. Dial lets Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client phone the store and ask a person, so you get the answer before you travel.

Early access. Wave 1 opens Wed 18 Nov 2026. Calls can fail.

Example prompt

Call the Croma store in Anna Nagar, Chennai. Ask if the
Sony WH-1000XM5 in black is in stock today, the price,
and whether they can keep it aside until 6 pm. Speak Tamil
or English, whichever they prefer. Give my name as Priya.

How it works

Your AI shows you the number, the questions and the plan, and you say yes.
Dial calls from a Behaf number. It says first that an AI is calling for you.
It waits on hold if needed, asks about the item, size or model, and asks for a price.
You get a short summary and the full transcript, with an English translation if the call was in another language.

What to know

Works with stores like Croma, Decathlon or Apollo Pharmacy that answer a phone. Examples are only examples; Dial has no tie-up with any store.
Give the exact model, size or medicine name. For a prescription medicine, the store may ask for a prescription and Dial cannot show one.
Dial will not give an OTP, card or bank details, and cannot pay or reserve with payment. It can ask the store to keep an item aside, if they agree.
A store may say "check the website", hang up, or not pick up. Stock can change after the call.
Dial is for one service call at a time, not sales or bulk calls.

Price and timing

Dial costs Rs 5 a minute + GST, billed by the second. A 3-minute call is about Rs 15 + GST. Most calls take a few minutes, plus any time on hold.

FAQ

Can Claude phone a store for me?

Yes, once Dial is added as a connector. Claude shows you the plan, and Dial places the call and reports back with a summary and transcript.

Does the store know it is an AI?

Yes. Every Dial call starts by saying that an AI is calling, and for whom.

Can Dial buy the item or pay a deposit?

No. Dial never takes OTPs, card or bank details. You complete any purchase yourself.

What if nobody answers?

The call can fail, or end early. Your AI tells you what happened, and you can try again.

What does it cost?

Rs 5 a minute + GST.
