    Phone someone for you

    Confirm plans with a friend, book beach chairs, get off a call list.

    Try sendingCall [friend] and confirm the time and address for tomorrow's party, then text me what they said.

Ranked by upvotes, hands-on tests, how many assistants people report doing the job, and engagement on the posts; newer jobs get a small lift. Founder and vendor posts are left out. The scorecard, not this page, is the benchmark.
