Who it is for
Small teams or solo builders who want a customer-facing agent on SMS or voice without configuring one by hand.
Overview
What Outside Agent does
Outside Agent takes a description written in ordinary language and produces a hosted agent from it, without a separate build step outside the coding agent. The finished agent can be published to SMS, voice, and the web.
The app assembles the configuration itself, grounds the agent in content supplied by the account holder, and puts the result through a safety review before it ships. A knowledge base can be seeded, draft replies can be previewed ahead of publication, and a phone number can be issued to the agent.
Agents already built are listed and managed through the same conversational interface. One skill, build-an-agent, is attached to the entry.
What stands out
The safety review and the reply preview sit between the brief and publication rather than after it.

Where Outside Agent is listed
Outside Agent is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory only. Outside Agent has no connector under the same domain in the Claude directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
ChatGPT apps are built on MCP, and the same server can back a Claude connector, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
