What problem does it solve?
AI agents often need real phone capabilities—texting users, placing voice calls, or receiving verification codes—but integrating telephony APIs requires HTTP plumbing, credential management, and event handling. This Skill provides the operational reference for the dial CLI, which wraps the Dial platform (getdial.ai) so an agent can perform phone-shaped tasks directly from the command line.
Core Features & Use Cases
- SMS and Voice Calls: Send text messages with
dial message, place AI-handled voice calls with dial call, and poll results with dial call get.
- Inbound Events and 2FA: Long-poll for inbound texts or call completions with
dial wait-for, enabling receipt of OTP and verification codes.
- Number Management: Purchase numbers, set inbound instructions, languages, and nicknames via
dial number commands.
- Use Case: A user asks the agent to sign up for a service that requires phone verification. The agent sends the signup, runs
dial wait-for message.received -f channel=sms, parses the code from the inbound SMS, and completes the registration.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to text a message to a phone number, for example: "Text +14155550123 that the meeting moved to 3pm."
