The market will resolve positively when a product or service appears on the market which will allow regular users to use AI to answer phone calls for them, acting as their secretary. The AI should be able to have a back-and-force conversation with the caller and to make at least some decisions for the user. E.g. receive a call that some event is cancelled and remove it from the user's calendar.

Just refusing the spam calls is not enough, but if the AI has a conversation with the caller and decides whether the call is spam or not based on that conversation and taking into account user's preferences, then it will qualify.

This service could be an app, a phone feature or an online service like Google Voice. An exclusive feature of a particular mobile operator doesn’t count because I likely wouldn’t be able to try it out to see if it qualifies.

I do not bet on my own questions.

Clarification from 2024-07-01: the phone-answering AI should be smart enough to make at least very basic common sense decisions, like "No, my employer is not a plumber, so I won't make an appointment to fix your faucet"

Clarification from 2024-11-01: If I haven't heard of any service that would qualify and it's not posted in the comments, then I'm going to resolve each answer as NO by default as soon as the target date is past.
