Dots Phone

Dots Phone is an open source plugin that enables OpenAI Dots to make phone calls, handle conversations, and report answers back.

Dots Phone is an independent phone-calling plugin for OpenAI Dots that allows your assistant to handle phone calls, prepare briefs, and report answers back to your conversation. The service runs locally on your machine using Docker Compose, uv, Node, and Codex CLI, while audio travels through Twilio and model requests go to OpenAI. It handles tasks like checking order statuses or customer service calls by navigating interactive voice response menus and using optional connected apps like email with your permission. Call records are encrypted locally, and you bring your own OpenAI and Twilio accounts. It is built for people who like to tinker and requires setup with provider accounts, HTTPS or WSS tunnels, and eligible plugin access.
