# Asterisk (/en/docs/pbx)

`pbx` brings the phone calls of an Asterisk PBX into WireCat, for the terminal, for scripts and for AI agents. It
reads the call records (CDR) from `Master.csv` or the CDR database, links each call to its recording, and keeps them
in the local WireCat store as meetings. `meetings transcribe` turns the recordings into text on this computer.

It reads only: it never changes the PBX, its settings or a recording. It has the commands every WireCat CLI shares:
`doctor`, `commands`, `config`, `skill`, `mcp`, `runs` and `upgrade`, with `session`, `meetings`, `events` and
`models`.

Start with [installation](/llms.mdx/docs/pbx/installation/content.md), then [connect your Asterisk](/llms.mdx/docs/pbx/asterisk/content.md) and [use it](/llms.mdx/docs/pbx/usage/content.md).
