Contacts ring through. Most callers you don't know talk to an AI that asks who they are and why. Spam-list and no-caller-ID calls are refused, real callers get put through, and voicemails come as text. Keep your number. Android and iPhone.

Could you build this?

Partial The AI screening agent is buildable with voice-AI platforms, but a real version needs carrier-grade telephony: number retention, call routing, spam and caller-ID verification, and native iOS and Android call handling.

What it would actually take: The stack would combine a telephony provider (Twilio or a carrier API) with real-time speech-to-text, an LLM screening dialog, and TTS. Keeping users' numbers requires porting or call-forwarding arrangements with carriers, and the native apps need CallKit and Android telecom APIs. Reliable spam and STIR/SHAKEN handling takes telecom expertise and carrier relationships.
