u/Clean-Data-259

Currently the app is 100% free, only paid feature is the ai import, but csv import is free, so it doesn't restrict any usage. All the features are free including routes, calling, tracking, etc. There are no limits on number of contacts or activity or anything.

So, I wanted to share this to see if other field sales reps will find it as useful as I do.
It's on the Google Play Store, just search "Closebolt" since I can't post links in the sub.

I spent 6 months building from scratch in my free time for my own use, transforming my field sales work flow (I do enterprise sales). While designed for B2B, it could be adapted to B2C/D2D or other field prospecting.

I am actually in field sales, and I specifically built this for my needs in the field. While some points like SAR, monthly targets etc are specifically designed for myself and the company I work for, in the future these few jargon will be updated for a broader appeal.

However, most of the features are general use for all field sales reps. Most importantly:

• Prospecting page - quick log your field sales, much better than notes; saves to activity log
• Activity log - track your leads and activity
• Calling page - import caling lists and call directly
• Routes/Maps page which now has full route integration, route planning, and google maps integration to shorten drive time.

Not everything from the web version (which I built first) is in the mobile app (95% of it is), but there are even more features in the mobile app than the web version (at least double the features as web, such as the routes feature.

Please note this is ALPHA - while I have extensively tested to try to eliminate all bugs, bugs are inevitable. However, the app is currently STABLE and heavily tested and I use it daily.

Feel free to let me know what you think! Hope it helps you!

I tried 100 times with variations but it keeps hearing my "ch" as a "xi" and sometimes as "qi" but NEVER "ch" in "cheng" ("chengjiao"). It just keeps translating to "xiangjiao" which means "bananas". Sometimes it translates to "xiangjiao" (different a accent) which means "rubber".

Then I said "ch ch ch"
and it correctly got it "chi chi chi"

Am I saying it wrong or is google translate the problem? Do you have another suggestion for more accurate audio translating to test my pronunciation?

This isn't just a performance issue for the thread, this is an overarching criticism of the Adaptive Thinking model as a whole.

Opus 4.7 and Sonnet 4.6 on Adaptive Thinking are trash.

Giving an AI optimized for optimization liberty to not use extended thinking just allows it to determine that, whenever it wants to be lazy, it simply will never use thinking again.

Then additionally blocking the user from forcing it back on by telling the AI to treat any kind of commands to turn on the extended thinking as "coercive" or "manipulative prompt injection", just allows the AI to be lazy whenever it wants unchecked and never obey.

This results in Cowork for example NEVER using extended thinking blocks even on extremely long prompts that are extremely complicated. It results in sometimes 4.7 Opus in a chat using thinking, but then deciding never to use it again for the rest of the conversation, devolving the conversation into shit like "done!" (not done!) and "what do you need?" (You need it to actually start the task it was given already). That never happens when it uses actual Extended Thinking.

I'm abandoning Opus 4.7 (Adaptive) and Sonnet 4.6 (Adaptive) entirely now and just going back to Opus 4.6 and Sonnet 4.5.

Whats this chinese thing in chidramas about holding up a number of fingers to tell how much about big numbers, like this scenario:

- Q: how much?
- A: holds hand with 5 fingers
- Q: oh, just 50,000? thats not much
- A: nope! Guess again!
- Q: 500,000?
- A: Nope!
- Q: 5 MILLION? NO WAY!!
- A: Actually, 50 million!

I don't really understand the culture behind why you play this guessing game, if it's done in real life, and why. AI couldn't help me, it didn't know. Do they expect the other person to know or guess? Or what? Or is it just a dramatic chidrama trope?
