Voice Outbound — Original Notes (archived)

Historical pre-planning notes. Superseded by AGENTS.md. Do not build from this.

Kept for provenance. Replaces the earlier PLAN.md. Do not build from this.

Purpose
- Test whether the system can hold a voice conversation — an artificial one.
- MiniMax supplies the voice. An LLM supplies the words.
- The system calls out and holds a short, natural conversation.

Why it is separate
- Not Artemis (screen control). Not the phone app (a Hub way in).

Sam's description
- Create conversations with MiniMax voices, controlled via an LLM that interprets
  and creates voices and responds.
- Assign a phone number, a conversation topic, a tone, etc. in the description.
- "Call now".
- It is a demonstration of tech.

Original open questions
- Real phone calls, or WhatsApp voice notes/calls?
- One-way or two-way?
- A Hub destination, or fully standalone?
- Which LLM, and through OmniRoute?
- How is a transcript stored?
