FoneClaw v0.0.4 — A More Stable Agent, Now With Voice Output and Skill Import
FoneClaw is the Android AI phone assistant that actually controls your phone — not just answers questions. v0.0.4 focuses on making the Agent experience more stable, more guided, and more extensible: voice output, Skill import, first-run onboarding, streaming replies, multilingual fixes, and stronger recovery when model output is invalid.
Say it. Hear it. Extend it.
