scitex-notification gives AI agents working on local and remote servers (via MCP) a multi-backend notification system — they speak progress aloud from speakers on your desktop, and escalate to a phone call if you don't respond (Twilio setup needed).
The escalation chain: TTS audio → desktop → email → SMS → phone call. After 7 unanswered audio alerts, the agent calls your phone. Works through iPhone Silent Mode via Emergency Bypass or the repeated-calls trick (iOS allows the second call from the same number within 3 minutes).
Spun out of SciTeX, a scientific computing ecosystem — but works standalone.
