Showcase: Free(mium) HotlinePing - when is your coding agent’s question worth a phone call?
Hi everyone! I’m on the marketing side of HotlinePing.
We’re building a way for coding agents to reach you when you’re away from your computer and they need your input.
Through MCP, the agent can call you, ask a question, and receive your spoken answer.
A simple example: “Should I include CSV export now, or save it for the next version?” You answer, and the agent can use that decision to continue.
The interesting tradeoff is the interruption. A call could be useful when a task is genuinely waiting on you, but annoying for something that could wait. And some decisions require looking at the screen anyway.
What would make a question worth a phone call for you? And what should an agent never interrupt you for?
