Giving Grok Bot a Phone: Wiring Bland's Voice API for Live Outbound Calls
mattyp · x · 2026-09-11
The author wired Bland AI's phone API into Grok Bot to create an outbound-calling agent. The video covers installing Dialbot, setting up a Bland voice, a live demo call, reviewing the transcript and cost, and chaining multiple bots together. He praises Bland's API while noting its voice cloning is "slightly scary". The bot is third-party built: on first use it asks for a Bland API key and voice, then places calls on your behalf and reports back.
