Is ClawTalk the same kind of product as ClawCall?

No. ClawCall is an AI phone agent that dials real US phone numbers, navigates IVR, waits on hold, and returns a transcript and recording. ClawTalk, per its App Store and Chrome Web Store listings, is a native iOS app (plus a Chrome extension) that adds hands-free voice conversation to OpenClaw — it transcribes your speech on-device with WhisperKit and speaks your agent's replies back. The names are similar; the products are not. ClawCall ships a REST API, an agent skill for Claude Code and OpenClaw, and flat $4.99–$14.99/mo pricing with a free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later (no credit card).

Can ClawTalk make a phone call to a business for me?

Based on the public App Store and Chrome Web Store listings, ClawTalk is a voice front-end for OpenClaw agents — you speak, your local agent responds, ClawTalk speaks the reply back. There is no indication it places outbound calls over the public phone network. If your goal is to have an AI dial a doctor's office, an airline, the DMV, or a utility company on your behalf, ClawCall is the product designed for that: outbound US calling via Telnyx with IVR navigation, hold-time handling, transcripts, and recordings, starting with a free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later, with no credit card.

How does ClawCall pricing compare?

ClawCall uses flat monthly pricing with no per-minute meter: 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later (no credit card), then Unlimited at $4.99/mo, Unlimited Reserve at $8.99/mo (adds one private reserved inbound number), and Unlimited Reserve Plus at $14.99/mo (adds an AI inbound assistant on your reserved number). ClawTalk is distributed as a free app on the App Store and Chrome Web Store; it is a companion to OpenClaw, so any agent-side costs depend on your own setup. The comparison is not apples-to-apples because ClawCall is a managed calling service while ClawTalk is a UI shell over your own agent.

Does ClawCall work with AI coding agents the way ClawTalk works with OpenClaw?

Yes — ClawCall ships an agent skill that drops into Claude Code, Cursor, ClawHub, and OpenClaw, plus a REST API at api.clawcall.dev. The first anonymous POST /call auto-issues a proto-key returned in the response, so your agent gets calling capability in seconds. The contract is fire-and-poll: POST /call returns a call_id; you poll GET /call/:id until lifecycle=finalized and read the transcript. ClawTalk's integration model is different — it points at your OpenClaw gateway and acts as the voice interface, not as a calling API.

Will ClawCall pretend to be a human on the call?

No. ClawCall has a non-negotiable rule that the agent always discloses it is an AI when asked, can leave voicemail when instructed, and never makes unsolicited sales or robocalls. ClawTalk's public listings do not describe this behavior because ClawTalk is not on a phone call with a third party — it is a voice interface between you and your own OpenClaw agent on your own device, so the disclosure question does not arise in the same way.

Can I use both products together?

In principle, yes: ClawTalk is the voice UI to your OpenClaw agent, and the ClawCall agent skill installs into OpenClaw, so your OpenClaw agent could place real outbound calls via ClawCall while you talk to it through ClawTalk. That uses each product for what it is actually built for — ClawCall for the PSTN call (Telnyx-backed, IVR navigation, transcript/recording on lifecycle=finalized), ClawTalk for the on-device voice loop via WhisperKit. Pricing is separate: ClawTalk free, ClawCall on its free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later or $4.99–$14.99/mo plans.

Comparison

ClawCall vs ClawTalk

ClawCall is an AI phone agent that places outbound calls to US phone numbers, navigates IVR menus, waits on hold, talks to whoever answers, and returns a transcript and recording — exposed through a web app, SMS/iMessage, a REST API at api.clawcall.dev, and an agent skill for Claude Code, Cursor, ClawHub, and OpenClaw. ClawTalk is a free native iOS app (with a companion Chrome extension) that adds hands-free voice conversation to OpenClaw agents — you tap once, WhisperKit transcribes your speech on-device on the Apple Neural Engine, your agent gateway replies, and ClawTalk speaks the response back; there is no telephony layer and no outbound dialing. These products solve different problems. If you need an AI to call a clinic, an airline, a utility, or the DMV on your behalf, pick ClawCall. If you already run an OpenClaw agent and you want to talk to it instead of typing, pick ClawTalk. Most visitors landing on this page want the first: someone (or something) to handle the call itself, including the hold music and the menu trees. ClawCall fits there with a free trial of 30 calls and 30 minutes, whichever lasts later (no credit card), flat $4.99–$14.99/mo plans with no per-minute meter, an always-disclose-AI rule, and a strict instruction-controlled voicemail / no-robocall policy.

Different products that share a naming convention

ClawCall and ClawTalk are easy to confuse by name, but they sit on opposite sides of the AI-voice stack. ClawCall is a finished consumer + developer product for outbound phone calls: POST /call returns a call_id immediately, the system dials a US number through Telnyx, runs a Deepgram Voice Agent session with ElevenLabs speech on the line, navigates IVR menus, waits on hold, talks to whoever picks up, and returns a transcript and recording once lifecycle hits finalized. ClawTalk, per its App Store listing and Chrome Web Store page, is a native iOS client (plus a Chrome extension) that adds hands-free voice conversation to OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework — it transcribes your speech on-device with WhisperKit on the Apple Neural Engine, sends the resulting text to your agent gateway, and streams the reply back as audio. The App Store description states explicitly that audio never leaves the device; only resulting text is sent to your gateway. If your job-to-be-done is 'I do not want to sit on hold with the insurance company,' that is ClawCall. If it is 'I already have an OpenClaw agent and I want to talk to it without typing,' that is ClawTalk.

How ClawCall handles the hard parts of a real phone call

Picking up the phone is the easy part. The work is everything after: pressing 2 for billing, sitting through 'your call is important to us,' confirming a date of birth, asking for a specific department, deciding when to escalate to a human, and knowing when to hang up. ClawCall is built around that workflow. The agent runs on Telnyx with a DB-backed phone-number pool (FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED leases) supporting roughly 3 concurrent calls per account by default, and bridge calls consume 2 numbers when the loop_in_user tool patches you back in. Recordings are archived to S3-compatible object storage when configured, and the v2 response contract separates lifecycle (queued → dialing → answered → finalized) from outcome so your code can react to busy, no-answer, machine-detected, and human-completed cases distinctly. None of that exists in a voice front-end like ClawTalk because ClawTalk is not on a phone line — it is in your microphone.

Pricing: flat monthly vs free companion app

ClawCall charges flat monthly subscriptions: Unlimited at $4.99/mo (shared outbound number pool), Unlimited Reserve at $8.99/mo (adds one private reserved inbound number), and Unlimited Reserve Plus at $14.99/mo (adds an AI inbound assistant on your reserved number). There is no per-minute billing and no metered overage. The free trial is 30 calls + 30 minutes with no credit card. Legacy minute-pack purchases are discontinued; existing balances are honored until depletion. ClawTalk is distributed free on the App Store and Chrome Web Store as a voice client for OpenClaw — you bring your own agent gateway and pay for any LLM and hosting costs associated with running OpenClaw yourself. The two pricing models are not directly comparable because the products are not directly comparable: one is a managed telephony product, the other is a UI shell over your own infrastructure.

Where developers and AI agents fit in

ClawCall ships a REST API at api.clawcall.dev and an agent skill installable into Claude Code, Cursor, ClawHub, and OpenClaw. Tri-auth (Clerk session, API key, anonymous IP) means the first anonymous POST /call auto-issues a proto-key returned in the response — your agent gets a working phone number in seconds, and the same key survives sign-up via linking. The contract is fire-and-poll: POST /call returns a call_id; GET /call/:id is polled until lifecycle=finalized; transcripts come back as structured JSON. ClawTalk's integration model is different — it points at your OpenClaw gateway URL and acts as the voice interface, with iOS voice processing (the same audio pipeline as Zoom and FaceTime) handling echo cancellation and gain control so the agent's voice does not re-trigger the mic. Useful if you already have an agent; not a calling API.
