Scam With Your Friends Callers

Generated lines, not a script wiki

Because AI callers generate replies, this page will not publish a fake “say this exact sentence” table. What Steam actually promises is dynamic reaction. What the store also promises is remote PC access and a daily quota after the call — those are later systems on remote access and quota.

Update 0.1.73 patch notes add caller-pool variety: each player works through the available pool before hearing repeats, and recent callers are avoided where possible. Duplicate Daily Callers entries were fixed. That is roster-rotation text, still not a named catalog.

Scambaiters are callers too

Steam warns you about feisty scambaiters and the “worst computer virus ever.” Some Scam With Your Friends callers are not marks; they are the disaster. If the line feels too eager, stop feeding remote access and read disasters. Falling for one is a comedy beat that can still wipe the workstation you needed for quota.

How to talk without a fake formula

Even without an official meter, the store fantasy is the same: manipulate fictional AI callers with schemes, then remote in. Community recaps agree on one boring habit — do not demand passwords or a connection code in the first breath. That habit does not need a wiki percentage. If the caller pushes back, slow down or type a shorter line. If they hang up, the Scam With Your Friends callers loop just ended; start another, do not paste a longer script.

Mood labels from screenshots stay Unverified. So do any “65% Trusting” tables. This page will not invent HUD numbers.

Mic settings that are actually in patch notes

Hotfix 3 added a saved microphone sensitivity control for speech recognition: hover the phone’s microphone button and set 50% to 200%, with a percentage display and color feedback. Update 0.1.73 adds automatic microphone leveling by default; turn it off in General settings if you want that 50–200% slider back under manual control.

Blank or cut-short caller messages after interrupted speech or reopening the phone were patched in Hotfix 3 and again in 0.1.73. If history looks empty, update the build before you assume the AI callers “went silent” as a trust fail.

Whisper and Qwen3 are not OpenRouter

Hotfix 3 restored Whisper speech recognition on older Windows CPUs that have AVX but not AVX2, and added experimental Whisper plus caller voices on Windows ARM / Snapdragon. Qwen3 TTS remains unavailable on those ARM PCs — that is patch text. Qwen3 TTS requires a compatible GPU and switches itself off if speech takes too long to start. Cite Hotfix 3 for a five-second cutoff and Update 0.1.73 for a seven-second cutoff; use whichever your installed notes show.

Launch notes asked non-English players to finish the Qwen3 download on the main menu for higher-quality voices. Later hotfixes moved those downloads and added troubleshooting copy. Voice files change how AI callers sound. They do not replace the OpenRouter language model that writes the lines.

Why solo still needs the internet

JakeHub’s Steam thread “The AI” (September 2026): local models they tried were huge and bad at conversation; a fully local caller LLM is “maybe in a future update,” not a current feature. Steam minimum specs already list broadband. Scam With Your Friends callers will not become an offline novel because your microphone is local.

Workshop is not a trust-meter trainer

A custom JSON personality can change how Scam With Your Friends callers behave. It does not make Caller Trust official. Install from Steam Workshop, keep WAV sizes reasonable (Hotfix 2 reduced memory when loading custom voices), and test typed fallback if the clone fails to speak. Full install steps live on mods.

0.1.73 also says installed Workshop callers no longer re-download unnecessarily when you reset Daily Callers. If a custom caller is missing after a reset, check Workshop subscriptions before you reinstall the whole game.
