This datamining company is making products to justify its existence now.

Isn’t the only data it mines are phone numbers tho?

I wonder which specific ML models they're using, and if it's something along the lines of Whisper

Currently we are using commercial STT services, but will probably move to models like whisper soon

Google Assistant has had this feature for a while, it works quite well. https://support.google.com/phoneapp/answer/9118387?hl=en

Yeah it is similar to Call Screen, but this seems to work across Android and iOS devices

Correction: Pixel phones have had this feature for a while.
