Claude Code can now call your phone (github.com)

Claude Code has introduced a powerful new feature allowing developers to engage in voice conversations with the AI over the phone, leveraging the capabilities of Claude Opus 4.5. This innovative integration empowers users to discuss code, troubleshoot issues, or brainstorm ideas hands-free, enhancing the coding experience. By setting up the `claude-code-voice` package and linking it with Vapi, users can initiate calls with Claude on specific topics or respond to incoming calls, with the AI automatically accessing project context including Git status and recent files. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it provides a more interactive and intuitive way for developers to leverage AI assistance in their workflows. The setup process is user-friendly, only requiring a few commands to get started, and includes features such as auto-saved transcripts of conversations, allowing for ongoing reference and review of the discussions. Moreover, the capability to configure voice providers and languages adds a layer of personalization, making AI assistance more accessible and tailored to individual preferences.
