Best AI that makes phone calls for you (2026)
We make CallForMe, one of the tools on this page. Prices and features for the others come from their own sites and are dated.
Short answer: In 2026 the main options are Google Ask for Me (price checks in Search), Gemini Call for Me (Pixel 11 only), Meta Muse (beta, Meta's app), Pine (bill negotiation plans), and agent tools like CallForMe, ClawCall, and PhoneBooth. CallForMe fits people who want calling inside Claude, ChatGPT, or another agent they already use.
Open this in ChatGPT and swap in your details before you send it. It needs the CallForMe plugin.

Consumer assistants
Google Ask for Me. Inside Google Search. Calls nearby businesses in supported categories (such as auto repair, hair salons, and pet groomers, with home repair, beauty, and pet care announced in 2026) to ask about price and availability, then emails you a summary. It can't book, cancel, or call a business you choose.
Gemini Call for Me. A Google test that began September 24, 2026, for US Pixel 11 owners with a paid Gemini plan. Gemini calls from your own number, shows a live transcript, and lets you take over. The best experience if you qualify; most people don't yet (TechCrunch).
Meta Muse. Meta's personal agent, launched September 8, 2026, with calling in an expanded beta since September 16. Plans are $0, $20, and $100 per month. Calls are US-business-only and not enabled on every account. 404 Media reported that some calls presented as AI were placed by human contractors (404 Media), and Meta later ended that test (PYMNTS).
Pine AI. Bill negotiation, cancellations, and disputes by phone, email, and web. Annual plans from $99.90 per month as of October 2026 (pricing). Also ships an MCP server for agents.
GetHuman. The customer service directory now has a free, ad-supported AI phone (built with Google Gemini): pick a big company and it works the menu, waits on hold, then tells you when a representative is ready or talks to them and sends a summary and transcript. No account needed; no agent integration published, as of November 2026. See GetHuman vs CallForMe.
Assindo. A phone assistant app for iPhone, Android and the web that screens your incoming calls and makes outgoing ones, with an MCP connector for agents. Plans from $9.99 a month with 1 hour of outgoing calls, at launch prices as of November 2026 (compare).
ThunderPhone Calls. A ChatGPT plugin that calls US restaurants, shops and salons during opening hours, a few calls a day, with no account, as of November 2026 (compare).
CallForage. Finds businesses and calls them with your questions after you approve each call in its app, at 15¢ per call attempt (answered or not), with an MCP server for agents, as of November 2026 (compare).
Callio. An iPhone and Android app that calls any US business listed on Google Maps for you, with summaries in English, Spanish or Chinese (the calls are in English). Calling needs its Premium plan, billed through the app store, which advertises unlimited calls; its site doesn't give the price, as of November 2026 (callio-app.com).
AskLucien. A ChatGPT plugin (AMBBR) that places short calls for you and reports back in the chat: up to three minutes a call, in 32 languages, using your AskLucien account, as of November 2026.
Autodial. An iPhone app and ChatGPT plugin that places calls for you, including abroad, at 50¢ a minute with a one-minute minimum, as of November 2026 (compare).
Instinct Concierge. A personal agent that added calling in early access on September 16, 2026. No public price as of October 2026.
Genspark. An AI workspace whose phone call tool books tables and appointments and handles customer-service calls inside Genspark, in 7 countries (US, UK, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, France). Calls use credits (100 free a day) and stop at 10 minutes, as of October 2026. See Genspark vs CallForMe.
Tools for your own agent
CallForMe. A remote MCP server (https://callforme.tel/mcp) and a REST API. Your agent plans the call, looks up the business, and places the call; CallForMe handles menus, hold, and questions back to your agent, then returns a transcript and structured answers. $1 per answered call including 2 minutes, $0.40 per minute after, nothing if unanswered. Calls US and Canadian numbers. It can call around to 1 to 100 places near you in one request, and speaks Spanish and 15 more languages. Made by Great Work LLC. Install it.
ClawCall. Hosted MCP with bridge-in. $8.99 per month unlimited from shared numbers, more for a private caller ID or inbound (clawcall.dev). Cheaper than CallForMe for heavy use.
PhoneBooth MCP. $0.07 per minute for US and Canada, international available, card or USDC.
call4me. Hosted MCP (call4.me, a different company from CallForMe) billed per minute ($0.25/min, half on hold), with your own US number. See call4me vs CallForMe.
PlaceCall. Hosted MCP that calls US businesses, $0.10 per successful call with no per-minute billing; first 250 calls free. See PlaceCall vs CallForMe.
CosVoice. A phone line for your assistant from $29 a month. See CosVoice vs CallForMe.
Telnyx Missions. A skill for OpenClaw agents that plans calls to businesses you name, calls from your own Telnyx number and returns quotes and a recommendation. Needs a Telnyx account and number. See Telnyx vs CallForMe.
KaiCalls and Carly. Phone lines for your own business, run by your agent: KaiCalls answers your calls as an AI receptionist (from $10 a month), Carly works a team's lines, texts and lead calls ($35 a seat plus a calling add-on). See KaiCalls and Carly.
Platforms for building your own
Vapi ($0.05 per minute plus providers), Retell (about $0.11 per minute typical), Bland ($0.14 per minute on Start), and Twilio ($0.014 per minute telephony) give you full control and lower per-minute costs, and you build the caller yourself. All prices as of October 2026.
How to choose
- Where do you already work? If it's Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, or Cursor, pick a tool that plugs into it.
- How often do you call? A few calls a month favors per-call pricing. Dozens favors a flat plan.
- What kind of call? A price check is the easy case. Bookings, cancellations, a specific business, and hold-for-me need a full caller that can talk back and forth.
- Do you care who's on the line? Look for tools that say they're AI whenever asked, never claim to be a person and never use human callers.

Questions
Is there an app that calls businesses for you?
Yes. Google Ask for Me works inside the Google app and Search, Meta Muse in Meta's app (beta), and Gemini Call for Me on Pixel 11 phones. If you already use Claude, ChatGPT or another AI agent, you don't need a new app: add CallForMe to it and ask it to make the call.
Can AI make phone calls for me in 2026?
Yes. Several products call businesses for you, handle phone menus and hold, and report back. Most are limited to US businesses, and some are in beta or tied to one device.
Can I try one without paying?
CallForMe has five fictional demo businesses, a pizza place, three auto shops and a gym, that any agent can call for free with no card, up to 3 calls a day. You hear the whole flow before a real call.
What's the best option if I use Claude or ChatGPT?
An MCP calling tool you add to your agent. CallForMe, ClawCall, and PhoneBooth all work this way. CallForMe connects with one click and charges $1 per answered call.
Do these AIs tell the business they're AI?
Gemini Call for Me says so at the start of the call, and CallForMe says so whenever asked. As of October 2026 we haven't confirmed how Google Ask for Me opens its calls. Meta tested routing some Muse calls to human contractors without clear disclosure and rolled that back, according to reporting in September 2026.
Can any of them wait on hold for me?
Yes. Gemini Call for Me, ClawCall, and CallForMe all wait on hold, and Muse has been reported to. Several can patch you in when a human picks up.
