SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It gives Jarvis practical phone capabilities without changing the core tool set, so you can own a reusable number, send texts, place calls, and check inbound messages later from one persistent setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

Owned Twilio Number: Search, buy, save, and reuse a real phone number across sessions.
Messaging and Voice: Send SMS or MMS, place direct Twilio calls with spoken text or audio playback, and poll inbound messages without webhooks.
AI Calling Workflows: Route outbound calls through Bland.ai for quick setup or Vapi for higher-quality conversational calling with an imported Twilio number.
Use Case: A solo operator can buy one agent number, receive follow-up texts, send deployment alerts, and make outbound calls for scheduling or status updates.

Quick Start

Ask Jarvis to configure telephony by saving your provider credentials, selecting an owned number, and then using that number to send a text or place a call on your behalf.
