OpenAI Dots + AgentLine
Give your OpenAI dot its own phone number
Let your OpenAI dot set up and manage an AgentLine phone agent. Get a real US number for outbound calls, inbound voice, transcripts, and an inbound SMS inbox through connected tools or an authorized coding task.
What are OpenAI Dots?
OpenAI Dots are always-on agents in ChatGPT with their own cloud computer and browser. A dot can keep working between conversations and use connected apps within their permissions. AgentLine adds a separate US phone number for a hosted phone agent that your dot can set up and manage through available tools.

Your OpenAI dot

Calls and SMS inbox
Make and receive calls; read inbound texts.
An AgentLine number is separate from calling your dot inside ChatGPT. Live call handling runs on AgentLine; connecting the dot itself to live turns requires a persistent service.

One skill file
Create your dot in ChatGPT, then connect the AgentLine plugin if available in your account. For a skill-based setup, use an authorized coding task on a connected computer. The task needs access to your AgentLine API key; keep it in the environment rather than the conversation.

Connect the tools, provision a number, and test the phone agent.
1. Connect the setup tools
Your dot needs a connected AgentLine plugin or an authorized coding task that can read the skill and call the API. Local skills require a connected computer. Tool access depends on your account and permissions.
Read https://agentline.cloud/skill.md. Check which AgentLine tools are available and tell me what is needed to set up a hosted phone agent.2. Create the phone agent and number
Use the AgentLine dashboard or available tools to create a hosted agent. Approve the voice prompt and number purchase. Numbers cost $2.00/month; calls cost $0.10/min, billed per second after a one-minute minimum; inbound SMS costs $0.02/message.
Create an AgentLine phone agent with the prompt I approve. Explain the costs, then provision a US number after my approval. Keep the API key in AGENTLINE_API_KEY.3. Test calls and review results
Provide your own destination number for a test call. Read the resulting transcript and inbound SMS through AgentLine. For tool or knowledge requests during calls, configure a persistent webhook service accessible to AgentLine.
Call the test number I provide using my AgentLine agent. Then retrieve the call status and transcript. Show me how to read inbound SMS for the new number.
