Call your OpenClaw agent like calling a person

Your AI agent can search the web, manage your calendar, and send Slack messages. But it can't pick up the phone.

ClawdTalk changes that. It gives your Clawdbot a real phone number with voice calls, WhatsApp, and SMS: same agent, same tools, same memory, now callable.

Built on Telnyx carrier infrastructure, ClawdTalk treats voice as just another transport layer. No stitching together four different APIs. No weeks of integration. Sign up, add your number, start talking.

Why your AI agent needs a phone number

You built a capable agent. It handles tasks, executes tools, remembers context. But every interaction still starts with a keyboard.

That's a problem when you're driving, cooking, or away from your desk.

A phone number turns your agent into something you can actually call. Need to add something to your todo list while on the road? Call your agent. Want a heads-up when your deployment fails? Your agent calls you.

Voice isn't a novelty here. It's a practical interface for the moments when typing isn't an option.

And it goes beyond calls. With WhatsApp available globally, you can message your agent from anywhere in the world. SMS handles quick back-and-forth when you need it. One number, three channels, zero extra setup.

How ClawdTalk works

ClawdTalk connects your Clawdbot to Telnyx voice infrastructure through a WebSocket. When a call hits your number, your agent receives transcribed speech in real time. It responds with text, and Telnyx handles the speech processing on the other end.

Setup takes minutes, not weeks:

1. Install the ClawdTalk skill on your Clawdbot.
2. Register at clawdtalk.com.
3. Your agent gets a real phone number.
4. Inbound and outbound calls work immediately.

The key detail: your agent can execute tools mid-call. That means it can check your calendar, search the web, post to Slack, or trigger any tool it already has access to while you're still on the line.

No "let me get back to you." It just works.

What you can do with voice, WhatsApp, and SMS

ClawdTalk isn't limited to voice calls. It's a communication layer across three channels, all tied to the same agent with the same context.

Here's what developers are building:

• Call your agent to add tasks, set reminders, or ask questions about your codebase while away from your computer.
• Have your agent call you when something important happens: a failed deploy, a price alert, an urgent email.
• Send a voice memo that gets transcribed, processed, and filed automatically.
• Message your agent on WhatsApp from anywhere in the world for quick tool access.
• Build a voice interface for your home automation that works from any phone.

Every interaction uses the same memory, tools, and personality your agent already has. Voice doesn't create a separate experience. It extends the one you've already built.

Why infrastructure matters for voice AI

Most voice AI setups stitch together multiple vendors: one for telephony, one for speech-to-text, one for text-to-speech, one for the LLM. Each API hop adds latency and complexity. Each vendor is another bill and another failure point.

When something breaks, good luck figuring out which vendor caused it. A recent report on the state of voice AI breaks down why trust and execution depend on who owns the stack.

Telnyx owns the full stack: carrier network, telephony, speech processing, and edge compute with AI GPUs colocated at telephony points of presence. ClawdTalk is built on that foundation through Telnyx Voice AI Agents. One integration, one vendor, no middlemen.

That matters for voice because latency kills conversations. When your agent takes two seconds to respond, the call feels broken. By eliminating vendor hops and running speech processing at the edge, ClawdTalk keeps conversations natural.

Telnyx operates in 140+ countries with real phone numbers on production infrastructure handling over 1B calls annually. This isn't a wrapper around someone else's API. We're the carrier.

Get started with ClawdTalk in 10 minutes

ClawdTalk is currently in beta with a free tier that includes 10 minutes of voice and 100 SMS per day. Enough to build, test, and see what voice adds to your agent.

Getting started:

1. Head to clawdtalk.com and create an account.
2. Add the ClawdTalk skill to your Clawdbot config.
3. Get your phone number.
4. Start calling your agent.

If you outgrow the free tier, Starter runs $12/mo and Pro is $30/mo.

Your agent was already smart. Now it can talk. Give it a number and see what happens when voice becomes just another tool in your agent's stack. For more on building voice into your workflow, explore the Telnyx resource hub and their guide on building vs. buying contact center software.
