I found Wakie[1] in 2015 while on a project in London. Every morning at a specific time you set, a stranger (real person and no AI) would call you and talk to you briefly, waking you up. I used it for about a month.

How interesting, can you share some pros and cons from the one month experience? Was it always the same person?

There was always a different caller. One thing I vividly remember was when I found it really hard to understand a pretty heavy Scottish accent. I'm not random-social enough to be talking to new people every day, but it was a fun experience. Fun for that short interval but not really my type of thing.
