Restaurant reservations don’t always follow a script. GPT-Live-1 listens while it speaks, so callers can interrupt, add details, or change direction mid-conversation. Hear how Yelp is using it to make reservation calls feel more natural:

@Yelp GPT-Live-1 isn't ready for what's about to hit it

@Yelp Yeah this is the bit voice agents kept sucking at, real people interrupt and change their mind mid-sentence

@Yelp The real upgrade isn’t AI that talks. It’s AI that actually listens.

@Yelp Does it identify itself at the start of the call?

@Yelp I actually love that you've made a product forcing Yelp to have usable UX.

@Yelp lots of AI B2B SaaS are gonna emerge now because od GPT Live…

@Yelp Thats cool Hope it doesn't stop voicing the menu just because a customer coughed

@Yelp I hope the API is live

@Yelp the interrupt handling is the easy demo case, party size and time are a tiny slot space. the real test is barge-in mid-sentence when the caller corrects something already spoken, does the audio actually cut in time or does it talk over them for another second.

@Yelp put it on the phone with a mumbai restaurant at 9pm on a saturday. i'll wait.

@Yelp callers interrupting mid sentence feels closer to how real reservations happen

@Yelp restaurant calls are a good stress test for voice ai. names, dates, party sizes, preferences, changes halfway through the call. there’s a lot more happening than just answering questions.

@Yelp listens while it speaks is the interrupt path. if the caller changes party size mid-sentence, does Yelp keep the same booking session or restart the flow?

@Yelp Interruptibility is a meaningful test for real-time agents: natural turn-taking matters as much as latency. It will be interesting to see how systems preserve context across those corrections.

@OpenAI @ChatGPTapp Existing ChatGPT Pro $200 / 20× was switched to 5× yesterday. Auto-renew was on, next charge Sep 13. No revert button in billing. Help Center case number [14855935]. Official docs say existing 20× should be unaffected and scheduled downgrades should be undoable before cycle end. Need 20× restored before Sep 13 — after that the pause blocks re-upgrade

@Yelp Natural ≠ reliable. The real benchmark starts when the customer says: “Actually… wait, change that.” 💀

@Yelp Interruptibility is the real product line here. Voice agents stop being demos when they can recover from barge-ins, partial corrections, accents, latency, and changed intent without dumping the caller back into menu-tree purgatory.

@Yelp Listening while speaking is the key difference here, it should make calls feel much less robotic. Curious how GPT-Live-1 handles interruptions like date changes or special requests without losing the thread.

@Yelp Barge-in support is such an underrated UX detail for voice AI. This is the difference between 'talking to a bot' and 'talking to someone.

@Yelp this is the part of voice agents that feels genuinely useful. being able to interrupt, change details and keep the conversation moving makes restaurant calls feel a lot less robotic.

@Yelp Ambient restaurant noise, overlapping speech, and fast interruptions are the real edge cases. If turn-taking holds up without dropping the tool-call payload, voice agents finally crossed the production line.

@Yelp show it in action not some dude talking

@Yelp 全双工最难的从来不是低延迟，而是语义层面的精准静音与打断判定。传统 VAD 把呼吸声当打断的痛点，只有原生端到端语音模型才能在底层解掉。

@Yelp three days ago you fucked up my account and now i lost out on my 20x pro plan AND money also support just basically confirmed that money is GONE, now suddenly after i cancelled everything in support they can reply, after waiting for days FUCK YOU RETARDS GO CHOKE ON A DICK

I am curious, what is stopping OpenAI from replacing or buying out yelp. These frontier AI labs can start any business they want. I hope the world stays diversified like this. Companies who can't do R&D on AI should adopt an open weight model instead of using the proprietary models.

@Yelp interrupt mid-call on GPT-Live-1. that's the hard bit.

@Yelp Please help!

@Yelp @thavidu dropping all the good insights!!

@Yelp ChatGpt since last few days🔥🔥🌋

@Yelp We are also support GPT-Live-1 model here at: where any restaurant can connect their own voice agent to their phone.

@Yelp Interruption handling is the easy half. The part that decides if it works is what happens when it thinks it booked a table and did not.
