Make phone calls and join Zoom, Teams and Google Meet meetings from any AI agent. Self-hosted.
Ask your agent the way you'd ask a good assistant:
"Call Luigi's and book a table for 4 at 7."
"Call the plumber and see if they can come today. Don't agree to more than $150."
"Join my 3 PM Zoom and take notes for me."
Smitline makes the call, talks with whoever answers in a natural voice, and sends the result back to your chat: what happened, the details you need (times, prices, confirmation numbers), decisions, action items, the full transcript, and what the call cost.
Paste this into your agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes or similar):
Set up Smitline for me from https://github.com/kaelorlabs/smitline. Follow SETUP.md in that repository. Ask me only what you need, and never ask me to paste keys into this chat.
Your agent starts Smitline with one Docker command, opens a setup page on your computer for your keys, rings your phone so you can hear it, and connects itself. Your keys go into that page, never into the chat. Your agent may ask you to run the Docker command yourself, because it gives Smitline access to Docker for meetings; that's expected.
What you need
With these ready, setup takes about 10 minutes.
A call costs about 6 cents a minute with SignalWire: roughly $0.011 for the phone line (plus $0.006 a call) and $0.05 for GPT-Live. A two-minute test call to a plumber cost us 14 cents.
Then just ask: "Call +1 … and …", "Practice the call on me first", or "Join this meeting: <link>". The dashboard is at http://127.0.0.1:8095.
SETUP.md has every step. Smitline itself is one command:
docker run -d --name smitline --restart unless-stopped --network host -v smitline:/data -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ghcr.io/kaelorlabs/smitline
The Docker socket (-v /var/run/docker.sock…) lets Smitline start its meeting container, and it gives the container control of Docker on your computer, which is close to administrator access. If you only want phone calls, leave it out:
docker run -d --name smitline --restart unless-stopped --network host -v smitline:/data ghcr.io/kaelorlabs/smitline
In Git Bash on Windows, put MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 in front of the command. Then run docker exec smitline smitline setup secrets to open the setup page.
Find it in MCP directories. Smitline is listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.kaelorlabs/smitline, on Smithery as kaelorlabs/smitline, and on Glama. Directories that mirror the registry, such as PulseMCP and GitHub's MCP registry, pick it up from there. Each listing points to the same self-hosted container: your keys stay on your computer. See MCP directories.
