(click to jump — plays here on the page)

Hermes can now be called on the phone using ElevenLabs for the voice layer and Twilio for the phone number, with Hermes acting as the brain that has memory, tools, and past sessions. A simpler in-app Jarvis voice mode is also available without a phone call. Claude 3.5 Haiku gave the fastest responses in testing, making the conversation feel natural.

## Key Takeaways

- Three components to the phone agent: ElevenLabs (voice synthesis and speech recognition), Twilio (phone number), Hermes (brain — memory, tools, files, past sessions)
- The voice agent can write files, schedule calendar events, recall past sessions, and perform tasks while you're away from your desk — all via a regular phone call
- Jarvis in-app voice mode works without Twilio — just click a button and talk within the Hermes dashboard; all conversation sessions are saved for later review
- Model speed matters: Claude 3.5 Haiku gave the fastest replies; heavier models add noticeable lag on calls — pick faster, lighter models for voice interactions
- Best for simple tasks (quick notes, reminders, calendar slots, memory recall); complex builds over the phone take too long — match the job to the moment
