Calling in sick
Calling in sick is a thirty-second call with a fixed shape: your name, your shift, that you cannot come in, and when you expect to be back. Nobody wants details.
The reason it is worth handing off is timing. It has to happen early, usually before you are properly awake, in the language you are least fluent in, to the person who decides your hours.
We make it as soon as you ask, and confirm it was received.
Waking up ill at 5:40am, the call to a manager who speaks quickly and does not know him well is a harder thing than the illness. Not making it is a no-show. Making it badly is a conversation he will think about all week.

Questions people ask
Will it say why I'm sick?
Only what you write. The standard version says you are unwell and cannot work today — no medical detail, which is both what the workplace expects and what the agent is allowed to say.
Does the person on the other end know it's an AI?
Yes. Every call opens by saying it is an AI assistant calling on your behalf. That sentence is written into the code, not left to the model to decide, so it cannot be skipped.
What if my English isn't good?
That is who this is built for. You write or speak your request in your own language — English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian. The call itself is placed in English, and the transcript and result come back to you in your language.
Will it call without asking me first?
No. You see exactly who is being called and what will be said, and nothing is dialled until you tap confirm.
