    Your AI Agent Needs a Phone Number

    Your clients already know how to text. What changes when their AI agent has its own phone number? In Episode 2 of Agent Operators, I sit down with Manav Modi, CEO and co-founder of AgentPhone, to talk about iMessage agents, AI voice calling, and the opportunity for agencies building managed AI employees. Manav shows a live iMessage exchange and reactions. We discuss connecting Hermes and OpenClaw agents to a phone number, sharing business files, and giving a business an AI employee that customers and vendors can reach. We also explore the future of agent-to-agent communication and why we think agencies can keep winning by building for specific industries and workflows.
