CallMe
A Claude Code plugin that phones you when the AI finishes a task, gets stuck, or needs a decision—enabling true asynchronous collaboration without constant monitoring.
Overview
CallMe bridges the gap between AI autonomy and human oversight through phone calls. Start a task, walk away, and receive a call when Claude needs interaction. The plugin enables multi-turn voice conversations, so you can discuss blockers or provide guidance without returning to your terminal.
The core insight: developers shouldn't babysit AI agents. CallMe treats phone calls as a communication channel, letting Claude reach out when it matters rather than requiring constant attention.
Key Features
- Asynchronous workflow - Start tasks and get notified via phone when Claude needs input
- Multi-turn voice conversations - Natural dialogue during calls, not just notifications
- Device flexibility - Works with smartphones, smartwatches, and landlines
- Composable tools - Claude can execute web searches or other actions while maintaining call context
Code Snippets
Installation
/plugin marketplace add ZeframLou/call-me
/plugin install callme@callme
Available Tools
The plugin exposes four tools to Claude:
// Begin a new call with opening message
initiate_call({ message: "I've finished the refactoring. Want me to summarize the changes?" })
// Capture user response and continue conversation
continue_call()
// Speak without waiting for response (useful before long operations)
speak_to_user({ message: "Starting the build now, this might take a few minutes..." })
// End the call session
end_call()
Environment Configuration
# Phone provider (Telnyx or Twilio)
TELNYX_API_KEY=...
TELNYX_PHONE_NUMBER=+1...
USER_PHONE_NUMBER=+1...
# Speech processing
OPENAI_API_KEY=...
# Webhook tunnel
NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN=...
Technical Details
The architecture chains four components: Claude Code plugin → local MCP server → ngrok tunnel → phone provider (Telnyx/Twilio). Audio flows through OpenAI's Whisper for speech-to-text and their TTS API for responses.
Cost runs approximately $0.03-0.04 per minute of conversation, combining phone charges ($0.007-0.014/min), speech recognition ($0.006/min), and text-to-speech (~$0.02/min).
