Bench: let your agent look up benchmark results on live calls

Bench is a benchmarking tool that publishes performance comparisons for developer tools and software. With AgentCalls, your agent can answer questions about how tools compare during a phone call, using Bench's public data. It is a lookup, not a booking. Your agent can state the relevant figures, explain what they measure, and tell the caller where to read the full report. Bench needs no sign-in, so you can connect it in a few clicks from the AgentCalls dashboard.

What your agent can do with Bench

  • Look up public benchmark results for a tool or category during a call
  • Read out the key figures and explain what each one measures
  • Compare two tools on a specific metric, such as speed or throughput
  • Send the caller a link to the full Bench report after the call

Bench exposes 1 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Inbound question about tool performance

  1. Caller

    Hi, we're deciding between two database tools for our small shop. Do you have any performance numbers on them?

  2. Agent

    I can help with that. Which two tools are you comparing, and is read speed or write speed more important to you?

  3. Caller

    Read speed, mostly. It's Postgres and MySQL.

  4. Agent

    Bench lists both. For read-heavy workloads, the latest public results show Postgres slightly ahead on the test set. I'll text you the link so you can see the full breakdown.

Lookup for a technical client

  1. Caller

    Our developer asked whether the new framework is faster than the one we use now. Can you check?

  2. Agent

    Sure. Which framework are you on today, and which one is the new one?

  3. Caller

    We're on Express and the new one is Fastify.

  4. Agent

    Bench has a request throughput comparison for both. Fastify comes out higher in the published tests. I'll send the report to your email so your developer can review the details.

Follow-up call after a demo

  1. Agent

    Hello, this is calling for Dana at Riverside Tech. You asked for benchmark figures after yesterday's demo. Is now a good time?

  2. Caller

    Yes, go ahead.

  3. Agent

    I pulled the latest results for the two cache tools you mentioned. I'll read out the latency numbers and send the full Bench report to your inbox.

  4. Caller

    Perfect, thanks. Send it over.

Does Bench work during the call or after it?

Both. Your agent can look up Bench results while the caller is on the line and read out the figures. It can also send the caller a link to the full report after the call ends.
