Tell ClawCall who to call and what you need. It handles the phone tree, waits on hold, speaks with the person who answers, and returns the outcome and transcript—so you can get phone work done without doing the call yourself.

Start with what you need ClawCall to do
ClawCall is strongest when you need phone work completed for you. The direction of the call tells you which capability or plan to choose.
Have ClawCall answer your reserved number
Unlimited Reserve Plus can add an AI inbound assistant to one active reserved number. This fits focused inbound answering, not a broad multi-line contact center.
Compare ClawCall plans →Choose caller, receptionist, or both
If you are solving missed incoming calls, start inbound. If you need calls made to other people or organizations, ClawCall’s outbound caller is the closer fit.
Compare the two jobs →Put ClawCall inside your product or agent
Use REST from a trusted application, or connect a compatible AI host through ClawCall’s OAuth-protected remote MCP server.

The value is not just dialing. ClawCall stays with the work between the first ring and the final result.
Navigate IVR and phone trees
ClawCall listens to spoken prompts and can send DTMF keypad events to move toward the department or person your task needs.
See how phone-tree navigation works →Stay on hold for you
Let the AI sit through the queue. When your participation is needed, ClawCall can consult you before joining you to the waiting party.
See the hold workflow →Work toward a bounded goal
ClawCall uses your briefing to ask questions, confirm details, and stay within the alternatives and decision limits you provided.
Browse practical examples →Leave voicemail when you ask
Reaching a mailbox is not permission to improvise. ClawCall leaves a concise message only when your call instructions authorize one.
Review product behavior →Bring you into a live call
For verification, payment, or a conversation you need to finish yourself, ClawCall can brief you and ask before connecting you. Post-join recording and transcription follow your “Record bridged conversations” setting, so captured evidence may end at the bridge.
Read the live-join guidance →Return what happened
Use the network outcome to understand the line and the transcript evidence actually captured to judge whether the real-world task succeeded.

ClawCall turns a clear task into a real phone call. Pick the route that matches what you want to accomplish next.

Know the calling terms without losing the task
These definitions help you choose the right ClawCall path—or recognize when you need a different kind of phone product.
- Call
- One voice conversation between two or more parties. In ClawCall, a call includes its setup, live conversation, and final lifecycle and outcome evidence.
- Phone call
- A call carried over a telephone network. The phrase describes the communication event, not a specific carrier, app, or pricing plan.
- Phone service
- Connectivity and number service supplied by a carrier or communications provider. ClawCall uses phone networks to complete tasks; it is not a replacement mobile or landline carrier.
- Call service
- An umbrella phrase that can mean an answering service, a calling API, contact-center software, or field-service work. Start with who calls whom and what job must be done.
- AI phone agent
- Voice software that can interpret spoken language and work toward a goal on a phone call. It may place outbound calls, answer inbound calls, or support both directions.
- AI caller
- An outbound agent: the user or an authorized workflow supplies a destination and goal, then the agent places the call and reports what happened.
- AI receptionist
- An inbound agent attached to a business or personal number. Callers reach it first, and it answers, gathers context, routes, takes a message, or hands off according to its configuration.
- AI answering service
- A buyer label for automated inbound coverage, often emphasizing missed or after-hours calls and message capture. It overlaps heavily with AI receptionist; supported workflows matter more than the label.
- IVR or phone tree
- An interactive voice response menu that accepts spoken choices or keypad events. DTMF is the dual-tone signaling behind familiar telephone keypad digits.
- Hold
- A connected call state in which one party waits while the other side queues or pauses the conversation. ClawCall can stay on the line so the user does not have to listen to the queue.
- Routing, transfer, and live join
- Routing chooses a destination, transfer moves a call, and a live join adds a person to an active conversation. ClawCall supports a consult-and-join flow when the user needs to take over. After the user joins, recording and transcription follow the account’s ‘Record bridged conversations’ setting, so captured evidence may end at the bridge.
- Voicemail
- A recorded message flow reached when a person does not answer. ClawCall can leave a concise outbound voicemail when the user’s instructions authorize one.
- Recording
- Audio captured from a call. Availability and retention are separate from the call result; ClawCall recording links are temporary.
- Transcript
- A text representation of the conversation. For ClawCall, the transcript—not a network outcome alone—is the durable evidence used to judge whether the user’s task succeeded.
Need the call made, not a new phone system?
If the job is a focused English-language call to a US +1 number, ClawCall can handle the phone work and return the evidence. A carrier, PBX, or contact-center platform solves a different problem.
ClawCall is built for focused phone work
A user-directed US call has a clear goal
- An English-language call needs menus, hold, conversation, and a transcript handled together.
- You want the agent to follow known facts, alternatives, and decision boundaries.
- Your app needs a finished REST call capability instead of raw voice infrastructure.
- Your compatible AI host can connect through remote MCP and OAuth.
You need a broader phone or compliance platform
- You need international destinations, non-English calls, or a mobile/landline plan.
- You need robocalls, predictive dialing, or bulk/high-volume automated outreach or sales campaigns.
- You need a multi-line contact center, deep CRM routing, or a configurable voice stack.
- You require HIPAA, PCI, or SOC 2 attestation that ClawCall does not currently provide.

Using ClawCall for phone work
- What can I ask ClawCall to do?
- Give ClawCall a US +1 destination, a clear goal, known facts, and decision boundaries. It can navigate phone menus, wait on hold, speak with whoever answers, leave a concise voicemail when instructed, and return the outcome and transcript. Common jobs include appointments, cancellations, billing questions, airlines, restaurants, utilities, and reaching a person after a long queue.
- Do I have to stay on the phone while ClawCall waits on hold?
- No. ClawCall handles the menu and queue. If the call reaches a point where you need to participate, its consult-and-join flow can call you, explain who is waiting and why, and ask before joining the conversations. Post-join recording and transcription follow your ‘Record bridged conversations’ setting, so captured evidence may end when you join.
- Is ClawCall a phone carrier or business phone system?
- No. ClawCall is an AI calling application that uses phone networks to complete user-directed work. It does not replace a mobile plan, landline, PBX, or broad contact center. Unlimited Reserve can add one private outbound caller-ID number, while Reserve Plus adds AI inbound answering on an active reserved number.
- How can my app or AI agent use ClawCall?
- A trusted application can use the REST API. A compatible AI host can connect to ClawCall’s OAuth-protected hosted MCP server without receiving a ClawCall API key. Use the developer pages for the current connection and implementation details.
