ClawCall · ClawCall: AI Phone Agent That Calls US Businesses, Waits on Hold, and Reports Back for You or Your AI Assistant
ClawCall is an AI phone agent that places real calls to US +1 numbers for you: it works through phone menus, waits on hold, talks to whoever answers, rings you if a decision needs you, and returns the outcome with any transcript it captured. It suits people who want phone errands handed off from ChatGPT, Claude, a text message, or their own code, at a flat monthly price.
Best for
People in the US who want phone errands with businesses (hold queues, bookings, cancellations, price and availability checks) handed off from ChatGPT, Claude, a text message, or their own agent, and developers who want a ready-made phone tool for an AI agent at a flat price
Not ideal for
Anyone calling outside the US or in a language other than English, businesses that need outbound campaigns, sales calls, or a multi-line contact center, regulated workflows that require HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2, and users who need call records kept longer than a few days
Who it's for
US consumers and busy professionals who want phone calls to businesses delegated, and developers who want to give an AI agent a phone
Capabilities
- Places real outbound calls to US +1 numbers from a plain-language task of up to 12,000 characters, including the facts to share and what the agent may agree to
- Navigates phone menus by listening and pressing keys, waits through hold queues, and talks with whoever answers
- Loop-in: when a decision needs you, it calls your verified phone on a separate line, briefs you privately, and bridges you into the call only if you say yes
- Returns the call lifecycle, one of ten network outcomes, captured transcript evidence when present, and a temporary recording link when available
- Remote MCP server with 11 bounded tools (place, wait on, inspect, list, and hang up calls, read transcripts and recordings, and manage settings) over OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration, so the host never receives an API key
- REST API (POST /call, poll GET /call/:id) with a keyless first call that starts the free trial and returns an API key
- Text-to-call: text ClawCall's number from a US or Canadian phone over SMS or iMessage and it places the call and texts back the result
- Four default voices, with a saved voice, personality, and opening greeting used as defaults and overridable per call
- AI safety screening of each request before dialing for fraud, harassment, spam, unwanted repeat contact, emergencies, unclear instructions, and restricted data such as card numbers
- Optional private reserved caller-ID number, and on the top plan an AI assistant that answers inbound calls to that number with a configurable handoff
Limitations
- Calls only US +1 numbers and only in English
- Not for robocalls, predictive dialing, bulk outreach, or sales campaigns; unlimited plans are fair use and may be rate-limited for abusive patterns
- No HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 attestation; ClawCall says not to put card numbers, health records, government IDs, or passwords in a task
- Transcripts are deleted 7 days after a call ends and recordings 10 minutes after, so results must be saved elsewhere if you need them
- A network outcome of answered does not mean the task succeeded, and the transcript can be missing or stop early, so results need review
- Concurrency is limited: trial and Unlimited calls share a pool of lines and may not start when every line is busy, and reserved-number plans run one call at a time
- Not an emergency service and must not be used for urgent medical or safety situations
- The terms make you responsible for having authority and any required consent to call each recipient through an AI agent, and for recording-law notice or consent
- Inbound answering covers one active reserved number and is not a multi-line contact center
Use cases
- Asking ChatGPT or Claude to call a store or restaurant and find out its hours, prices, or whether it takes walk-ins tonight
- Having ClawCall wait in an airline, utility, or insurer hold queue and ring you only when a person is on the line
- Cancelling a gym membership or other subscription that can only be ended by phone
- Checking the status of an insurance claim or prescription renewal without sitting through the phone menu
- Texting a number and a task from your phone to get a call made while you are busy
- Giving your own AI agent or app the ability to place calls to businesses through the REST API or MCP server
Our take
ClawCall is a narrow, well-documented tool: it does phone errands with US businesses and is careful about what a result means. Its documentation repeatedly separates a connected call from a completed task and points you to the transcript, which is the right design for an agent acting in the real world. The flat price and the number of ways in (ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP hosts, SMS, REST, a skill) make it easy to try and cheap to keep. The limits are just as clear: US and English only, no compliance attestations, short retention, single-line concurrency on reserved numbers, and a product that launched on Product Hunt only days ago with no published reliability data. It suits low-stakes calls where a transcript is enough evidence, rather than anything involving card numbers, health records, or calls you cannot afford to get wrong.
Who should use it
US users who regularly lose time to hold queues, bookings, cancellations, and quick questions to businesses, people who already work in ChatGPT or Claude and want those assistants to make the call, and developers who want a phone tool for an agent without building telephony themselves.
Who should skip it
People who need calls outside the US or in languages other than English, teams planning outreach, sales, or high-volume calling, anyone handling protected health information or payment card data on calls, and users who need long-term call records or a multi-line inbound contact center.
Strengths
- Flat monthly pricing with no per-minute charges, so a long hold costs the same as a short call
- Works from many entry points on one account: ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP hosts, SMS or iMessage, a web dashboard, REST, and an agent skill
- Loop-in asks before connecting you, so you only take the part of a call that needs you
- Clear, documented boundaries: AI disclosure on request, pre-dial safety screening, short data retention, and honest outcome semantics
Weaknesses
- US numbers and English only
- No HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 attestation, which rules out many sensitive calls
- Transcripts and recordings are deleted quickly, so you have to save results yourself
- Young product with no published reliability or completion-rate figures

Where ClawCall excels
Getting through a long hold queue
ClawCall waits on hold and uses loop-in to call you only when a person is on the line, and flat pricing means a long hold does not cost more.
Letting ChatGPT or Claude finish a phone-only task
Through the ChatGPT plugin or the remote MCP connector, the assistant can find a business, place the call, and read back what the transcript shows was said.
Adding calling to your own agent
A keyless first REST call starts the trial and returns a key, and the API returns lifecycle, outcome, transcript, and recording fields designed for an agent to check before it reports success.
ClawCall vs. competitors
ClawCall vs. Fo
Fo is a broader personal action agent that calls, emails from its own address, books, and pays with single-use cards, and can hand tasks to human executive assistants. ClawCall does only phone calls but publishes flat prices, a REST API, and an MCP server so other AI assistants can use it as their phone. Choose Fo for whole errands that span calls, email, and purchases; choose ClawCall for calls driven from ChatGPT, Claude, a text, or your own code.
ClawCall vs. Tab
Tab is a texting assistant with its own cloud computer and browser that books, orders, pays with approval, and makes phone calls among other errands, and it is in private beta. ClawCall is open to sign up, focuses only on calls to US numbers, and is built to be called by other AI hosts and code through MCP and REST at a flat monthly price.
ClawCall vs. Vapi
Vapi is a developer platform for businesses to build, test, and deploy their own voice agents and phone lines at scale. ClawCall is a finished calling agent for individuals and their AI assistants: you send a number and a task and get a result, with no voice pipeline to configure, but also with US-only, English-only calls and no support for campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
What does ClawCall do?
ClawCall places real phone calls for you. You give it a US +1 number and a task, and it dials, works through the phone menu, waits on hold, talks with whoever answers, and reports back with the network outcome and any transcript it captured. It can also call you and connect you to the call when a decision needs you.
How much does ClawCall cost?
There is a free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later, with no credit card. After that, Unlimited is $4.99 a month for fair-use unlimited calls from shared ClawCall numbers, Unlimited Reserve is $8.99 a month and adds a private reserved caller-ID number, and Unlimited Reserve Plus is $14.99 a month and adds an AI assistant that answers inbound calls to that number. There are no per-minute charges, and you can cancel from the dashboard without a prorated refund.
Can ChatGPT make phone calls with ClawCall?
Yes. ClawCall says its official plugin is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory: select Plugins, search for ClawCall, install it, and allow the connection. ChatGPT gets revocable OAuth tokens rather than a ClawCall API key. OpenAI dots, on ChatGPT plans that include them, use the same installed plugin. ClawCall notes that the listing does not mean OpenAI partners with or endorses it.
Does ClawCall work with Claude?
Yes. Add ClawCall as a custom connector with the remote MCP endpoint https://api.clawcall.dev/mcp and sign in with OAuth, or add the same server in Claude Code. Claude then gets 11 tools for placing and checking calls. ClawCall also publishes an agent skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenClaw.
Does ClawCall tell people it is an AI?
Yes. When the person on the call asks whether they are talking to a human, ClawCall confirms it is an AI calling on the account holder's behalf, and users cannot turn this off. Inbound calls on the Reserve Plus plan start with a fixed recording disclosure.
Can ClawCall call numbers outside the US?
No. Outbound calls go to US +1 numbers only, and the agent speaks English only. You can text ClawCall to start a call from a US or Canadian phone, but the call itself must go to a US number.
Can I use ClawCall without an app?
Yes. From a US or Canadian phone, text ClawCall's number with the US number you want called and what you need, over SMS or iMessage. It places the call and texts you the result. You can also use the web dashboard, the REST API, or an AI assistant connected through its MCP server.
Is ClawCall the same as ClawdTalk?
No. ClawCall (clawcall.dev, ClawCall-Dev on GitHub) says it is not affiliated with ClawdTalk, clawdcall-mcp, or CODEANDTRUST/clawcall.

CustomAbout ClawCall
ClawCall is built for one job: the phone calls to businesses that people keep putting off, such as asking a store about hours, checking an insurance claim, moving an appointment, cancelling a subscription that can only be ended by phone, or sitting in an airline's hold queue. You give it a US number and a plain-language task with the facts it needs and what it may agree to. It dials, listens to the menu and presses keys, waits through hold, holds the conversation in English, and can leave a voicemail only when your task authorizes one. If a decision needs you, its loop-in feature calls your verified phone on a separate line, briefs you privately, and bridges you in only if you agree. When the call ends it returns one of ten network outcomes plus captured transcript evidence and a temporary recording link when available. ClawCall is explicit that an answered call is not proof the task succeeded, so you (or your AI assistant) should judge the result from the transcript. What makes it distinct is that it is designed as a phone for other AI agents as much as for people. The same account and plan work from the web dashboard, by texting a ClawCall number from a US or Canadian phone (SMS or iMessage), through a plugin that ClawCall says is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, through an OAuth-protected remote MCP server with 11 tools for Claude, Grok Bot, Cursor and other compatible hosts, through a REST API, and through an MIT-licensed agent skill for Claude Code, Cursor and OpenClaw. Every request is screened by an AI safety check before dialing, and the agent always confirms it is an AI when asked, which users cannot turn off. Pricing is flat: a free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, then $4.99 a month for fair-use unlimited calls from shared numbers, $8.99 to add a private reserved caller-ID number, or $14.99 to add an AI assistant that answers inbound calls on that number. The tradeoffs are real: calls are limited to US numbers and English, the service is young (it launched on Product Hunt on October 8, 2026), it has no HIPAA, PCI or SOC 2 attestation, transcripts are deleted after 7 days and recordings after 10 minutes, and it is not for bulk outreach or sales calls.
Updates from ClawCall
ClawCall launched on Product Hunt on October 8, 2026, presenting itself as a phone for your AI agent that dials, works the phone tree, waits on hold, and reports back.
ClawCall announced that its official ChatGPT plugin is listed in ChatGPT's plugin directory, so ChatGPT users can install it without Developer mode or a pasted MCP URL, and OpenAI dots can use the same installed plugin. ClawCall notes that the listing does not imply an OpenAI partnership or endorsement.
