Let your agent phone you when it needs input
The author built an open-source bridge so OpenClaw rings their Android phone when it needs input, with pairing over Telegram and an MCP server for asking things like tomorrow's calendar. ·
Done withOpenClaw
- What they did
- The author built agentring, an open-source bridge that lets OpenClaw ring an Android phone over the internet or send a message and wait for a reply. Setup is either installing a ClawHub skill and telling OpenClaw to configure it, or running one connect command, which registers an MCP server, installs the skill, pairs the phone, and can send the pairing code over Telegram; during calls, a voice AI talks to the person and passes the transcript back, with a separate OpenClaw session per call.
- How it went
- It works for Android calls and messages, including on a locked phone and under Doze, with either self-hosting or a hosted server. The stated limits are no iOS support yet and that the caller voice is the voice AI, not OpenClaw itself.
- Worth knowing
- If a call waits on a human, OpenClaw’s default 60-second MCP timeout is too short; the author says their connect command raises requestTimeoutMs to 30 minutes.
Try it yourself with OpenClaw
Set up a way for you to phone or notify me on my [Android phone] when you are blocked and need my input. Use [Telegram] to pair the phone and let me ask you things like tomorrow's calendar. Done means a test call and one test question both work, and before you place any call or message to anyone other than me, show me what you plan to do.
