Try 3CX for yourself (FREE tier available): https://www.3cx.com/try/?src=networkchuck2025 I gave my server a phone number… and now it can call me. In this video, I take a normal phone system (3CX) and connect it directly to my AI workflows running in the terminal. That means I can call my AI from any phone (even a payphone) and have it create tasks, send Slack messages, generate thumbnails, monitor my servers, and call me back when something breaks. 🔥🔥Join the NetworkChuck Academy!: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy RESOURCES / LINKS: 💻 GITHUB Guide: https://github.com/theNetworkChuck/claude-phone.git ▶️ Setup video guide & walkthrough (coming soon on second channel: https://www.youtube.com/@networkchuck_v2) 🧠 Use n8n, my favorite automation tool: https://ntck.co/n8n TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro 0:42 - The Platform 7:27 - the Power 9:28 - the Character 15:01 - the Moment **Sponsored by 3CX SUPPORT NETWORKCHUCK --------------------------------------------------- 🎓🎓 Sign up for NetworkChuck Academy: https://ntck.co/NCAcademy ☕☕ COFFEE and MERCH: https://ntck.co/coffee 🌐🌐 Use the MOST SECURE Web Browser, NetworkChuck Cloud Browser: https://browser.networkchuck.com/ 🧠🧠 Use n8n, my favorite automation tool: https://ntck.co/n8n 🆘🆘 NEED HELP??

I left my server 8 months ago. I have a new server now. It won't stop calling me. What should I do?

The prayer at the end really caught me off guard. It spoke to exactly how I'm feeling right now. Thank you for having the courage to be public with your faith. God bless.

In 1998, I wrote a prototype for converting email to voice calls. Sendmail receives SMTP email, procmail doing local processing, call out to Bell Lab website to convert text to speech, a tiny program to convert wav to audio file, lookup unix directory and playback via DPS modem. I can definitely appreciate the complexity of this process, and making it interactive is 1000x times harder. Kudo for making it work. My dream was having AI summarize emails for people on the go. Now the reality is better than what I was dreaming. What a time to be alive.

I could see some definite use cases where a phone call would be beneficial over a typical push notification. For example, if your security system detects a possible break-in, or your smoke detectors go off, or if you've somehow got a setup with relatives for emergency alerts (like Apple Watch fall notifications or something like that).
