Outsideagent provides a platform that lets developers attach a phone number and memory to any coding AI agent, enabling it to send and receive SMS, make voice calls, and trigger actions or handoffs to human teams. By supplying a single URL that integrates with editors such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code, the service lets agents build, test, and publish themselves, then interact with customers via web, text, or voice while managing workflows and escalation.

Problem
Developers often struggle to integrate AI coding assistants with real-world communication channels like SMS and voice calls, limiting the agents' ability to interact with customers directly and to trigger automated workflows.
Solution
OutsideAgent provides a platform that connects any coding assistant—such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or VS Code—to a dedicated phone number and persistent memory. By supplying a single URL from the developer’s console, the service links the chosen editor to the AI, which then builds, tests, and deploys an agent capable of handling web, SMS, and voice interactions. The agent can answer customer queries, initiate actions, and seamlessly hand off conversations to human operators when needed. All communications are managed through the platform’s telephony and messaging infrastructure, enabling reliable, end‑to‑end interactions without additional integration work.
Target Audience
Primary customers are software developers and product teams building AI‑driven customer support or sales assistants who need multi‑channel communication and workflow automation.
