PlaceCall is an agentic API from VOYGR (founders Yarik and Vlad, ex-Google Maps/Search) that automates real-world phone interactions with local businesses. It was born from repeated failures of online listings and AI assistants to reliably verify hours or services by phone: PlaceCall locates businesses, places calls (including parallel dialing), navigates IVRs and hold queues, and returns a structured outcome alongside recordings and transcripts. It handles U.S. phone numbers or can recommend targets when none are provided, aiming to bridge the gap between digital assistants and the phone-centric reality of many merchants.
The API has been tested in hackathons and used to confirm open restaurants, check whether doctors accept new patients, obtain car service quotes, and run quick surveys. Developers can access examples and setup via integrations with Claude Code and Codex on the GitHub repo; a demo and product page are available, and the first 250 calls are free. The offering targets applications that need reliable, repeatable phone-based verification or task execution without building bespoke voice-agent plumbing. Founders invite feedback and questions and can be reached at [email protected].
