Use case overview

A CLI tool built on Twilio gives terminal agents a voice to make calls, with a dashboard for questions they can't answer.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The author built a CLI tool using Twilio and GPT-live that gives terminal agents a voice for outbound calls. The agent operates independently on the line until it receives a question it cannot answer, at which point the included dashboard HUD prompts the person for an answer and redirects it back into the call without disconnecting.

  2. How it went

    The result is a functional calling experience shown in a live QA and coding walkthrough video, with the agent handling calls and escalating unknowns to the person.

Example prompts

Try with Claude Code
In my project at [folder path], build a small command-line tool using Twilio that lets a terminal agent place a phone call, say a scripted purpose like [reason for call], and record the conversation outcome. Add a simple local dashboard where I can see and answer questions the agent couldn't handle. Include a dry-run mode that prints the call instead of placing it, and test with that before any real call.
