The full guide

Before you start

  • A ChatGPT account where you can see Plugins (custom servers need Business, Enterprise or Edu).
  • A mobile number from the US, Canada, the UK or Australia (India also works) to receive a sign-in code.
  • Nothing to pay: you start with 50 free credits.

Connect OsmO to ChatGPT

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web or in the app, go to Plugins and search for OsmO.
  2. Choose Connect. ChatGPT opens OsmO's sign-in page.
  3. Enter your mobile number, then the code we text you, and approve access.
  4. Back in a chat, ask: "Use OsmO to call the post office on High Street and ask when it closes today."

Plans and workspaces

The directory is the simplest route for most people. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise workspaces can also add OsmO as a custom MCP server with the address https://api.getosmo.app/mcp (Plugins → + → Add custom MCP server); on Business only admins or owners can create one, and on Enterprise admins can grant it to selected members. OpenAI lists custom servers for Business, Enterprise and Edu on ChatGPT web.

Make a first test call

Make your first call a low-stakes one, such as asking a shop for its opening hours. You will see how your AI app confirms the call, how long a call takes and what the answer looks like, before you send it on anything that matters.

A call is refused for the same numberOsmO places at most 5 calls to one number in any 24 hoursTry again once 24 hours have passed since the earliest of those calls

Turn it off

To disconnect, remove OsmO from your AI app's connector settings. Some apps do not tell OsmO when you do that. If you use the OsmO app, also open the Sharing card, then Connect AI apps, and tap Disconnect. If you only use OsmO from AI apps, email [email protected] with the mobile number you signed in with and we will end the access.

Questions people ask

Can ChatGPT call without asking me?

OsmO asks your AI app to read you who it will call and why, and to wait for your yes before it dials. Some apps also ask permission before using a connector at all.
