I have grown very fond of Jolly Rodger Telcom (http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/ http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/). I will have to check Lenny out.

  Listing to the demos they aren't really boots but rather just pre-recorded sound bytes. Lenny actually changes it's response depending on what the caller does. Pauses, keywords, etc.

    The article says the opposite. "Lenny simply plays a set of audio recordings one after another to interact with the caller. The same set of prompts is always used in the same order."

    > Lenny actually changes it's response depending on what the caller does. Pauses, keywords, etc. It's actually a sequence of recordings played in the same order every time in a loop from the 5th. Telemarketers usually realize it a few recordings into the second loop. Now imagine combining machine learning with conversation analysis to create the ultimate Lenny.
