AI Phone

AI Phone is a SIP phone daemon that runs local speech and language models on Apple Silicon computers.

AI Phone is a SIP phone agent daemon that operates locally on Apple Silicon computers. It manages incoming and outgoing telephone calls using local speech recognition, synthesis, and language models or external endpoints like Claude Code, Codex, or OpenAI-compatible services. The software requires macOS on Apple Silicon, recommending 16 GB to 32 GB of RAM depending on the model size, and depends on Git, Homebrew, and uv. Users connect via direct SIP addresses or services like Telnyx, Twilio, or SIP trunks. It supports English language interaction, single active calls, and includes relay mode for agent integration via command line execution.
