The full guide
Before you start
- Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise.
- 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 Perplexity
- Open Plugins in the sidebar (or Customize → Connectors) and choose Add custom → Add MCP connector → Remote.
- Paste
https://api.getosmo.app/mcpand choose OAuth. OsmO supports dynamic registration, so no client ID or secret is needed. - Sign in on OsmO's page with your mobile number and the texted code, then approve.
- Ask: "Find two locksmiths near Fitzroy and call them to ask who can come this afternoon."
Enterprise
An admin first allows members to add custom connectors, or adds OsmO for everyone under Organization settings → Connectors → Custom connector.
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.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "You've used your free OsmO credits" | Not enough credits left for this request (each call needs 3) | Ask for fewer calls at once, or keep calling from the OsmO app: getosmo.app/app |
| "OsmO can call listed businesses and toll-free numbers" | The number is not a listed business, a toll-free line or one of your saved contacts | Give the business name instead. To call your contacts from your AI app, use the OsmO app, which syncs them |
| The sign-in page will not take your number | Sign-in accepts US, Canadian, UK, Australian and Indian mobile numbers | Use a mobile number from one of those countries |
| "Scheduling calls for later is available in the OsmO app" | Calls booked for a later time need the app | Ask for the call now, or schedule it in the OsmO app |
| A call is refused for the same number | OsmO places at most 5 calls to one number in any 24 hours | Try 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 Perplexity 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.
