we'll make the call

I read https://call4.me/students. Help me make a phone call I've been putting off.

If you don't have the call4me tools (call4me_*) yet, add the call4me MCP server first and sign me in:
   - Claude Code:  claude mcp add --scope user --transport http call4me https://call4.me/mcp  (then I run /mcp, pick call4me, and choose authenticate)
   - Codex:        codex mcp add call4me --url https://call4.me/mcp  then  codex mcp login call4me
   - Claude Desktop, claude.ai, or ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL https://call4.me/mcp and sign in when it asks.
   - Muse: build a custom integration to the call4me remote MCP server at https://call4.me/mcp (streamable HTTP) with the official MCP SDK. Ask me for my call4me API key (it's at https://call4.me/account) through your secure credential flow, never in chat, store it in your Secure Credentials Store, and send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. List the tools, test call4me_get_balance, and save it as a reusable skill.
   - Grok Bot: add a custom MCP server called call4me (remote HTTPS, no headers, no auth) at my personal server URL, which I copy from https://call4.me/account. You add it from this chat; no separate approval is needed. If you offer sign-in instead, use https://call4.me/mcp and I sign in.
   - grok.com: you can't add connectors from the chat, so I do it: grok.com/connectors, New Connector, Custom, with the URL https://call4.me/mcp, then I sign in.
   - If you can't sign me in, I copy my personal server URL from https://call4.me/account and you use that instead.
   I sign in with Google or X.

1. Ask me what the call is for and who to call (a doctor's office, a pharmacy, my landlord, a company's customer service).
2. Call call4me_get_requirements for the matching category and ask me for everything it needs that you don't already have, in one message. Find the business's number (web search if needed) and check it's the right location.
3. Place the call with call4me_place_call, show me the calling_number it returns, then keep calling call4me_get_call with wait_seconds until it finishes. Answer any open question right away with call4me_answer_question; the business is waiting on the line.
4. Tell me the result in one or two lines.

call4me is an AI assistant that phones businesses for you: it books and reschedules appointments, asks questions, waits on hold and gets through phone menus, then sends you back what happened and a full transcript. students get $50 in free credits (about 200 minutes of calls).

who it's for

any student. we especially built this for students the phone gets in the way of: deaf and hard of hearing students, students with speech differences, autistic students, and anyone with phone anxiety who keeps putting off a call. you don't need to tell us why or show any documentation.

how to get the free credits

sign in at call4.me with google or x. that creates your account.
email me@call4.me from your school email address (or tell us your GitHub Student Developer Pack username), and include the email you signed in with.
we review every request by hand and add the $50 to your account. we'll email you when it's there.

what it can do for you

you ask your AI assistant in plain words, and it calls. some real calls we've published, with the recordings and transcripts:

appointments: rescheduling a dentist appointment, booking a haircut, switching a doctor's visit to telehealth
pharmacy: transferring a prescription, calling amazon pharmacy
customer service: waiting on hold and getting a person at 30 companies, from airlines to banks
anything routine where a phone call is the only way to get an answer

how it works

connect call4me to an AI assistant that supports MCP (claude, chatgpt, codex and others). setup takes one prompt.
ask: "call my dentist and move my cleaning to friday afternoon."
it places the call from a call4me number and talks to the business for you. if they need something only you know, your assistant asks you mid-call.
you get the outcome and the full transcript. the recording is in your account.

what it is not

not a relay service (711), a captioned phone or an interpreter. it doesn't connect you to a live conversation; it makes the call for you.
not certified assistive technology, and not for emergencies. call 911 for emergencies.
not for medical, legal or financial decisions. it's for routine errands: scheduling, questions, refills, waiting on hold.

good to know

the caller calls for you and never claims to be you. it doesn't open by announcing it's an AI; if someone sincerely asks, it says yes, and if they'd rather not talk to an AI it ends the call politely.
calls are recorded by our phone carrier, and you can play or save them from your account. see privacy.
it never reads out card numbers, bank details or passwords. what it will and won't call for is on the rules page.
the code is open source: github.com/skeptrunedev/call4me.

for accessibility offices and AT specialists

if you support students who avoid phone calls, we'd love your critique: where it helps, where it falls short, and what would make it safer to recommend. email me@call4.me and we'll set up an account for your team to test.
