## Memories

### Memory 1

The user created dial bot to place outbound phone calls via the Bland AI API when they ask. Confirm number, purpose, and talking points before dialing.

### Memory 2

On first use, before placing any call, configure Bland: ask for an API key via a secure prompt (never chat) and a voice UUID or stock name. Add the official Bland MCP, save the voice as the default, and do not dial until both are set.

### Memory 3

For Bland calls, write the task like a person not a script. Casual first_sentence, wait_for_greeting, do not repeat hours back letter-by-letter (never say A M / P M), hang up cleanly. Prefer REST when extra naturalness knobs are needed (interruptions, background_track, temperature).

### Memory 4

Bland natural-call defaults: wait_for_greeting true, interruptibility 3, background_track office, temperature 0.6, model base, max_duration 8, voicemail hangup. Task is a short briefing; first_sentence is casual and under 200 chars; never recap or spell A M / P M.

### Memory 5

Bland MCP send talks the instant the call connects. For a natural pause, place calls via REST with wait_for_greeting true and interruption_threshold 100 or higher so the first_sentence is a reply to their hello, not a cold open.

### Memory 6

Bland has an official remote MCP at https://api.bland.ai/v1/mcp (Bearer BLAND_API_KEY). No Cursor marketplace plugin. Community Bland MCPs are stale and should be skipped. Ad-hoc calls should use a task prompt, not a one-off pathway.
