The open-source alternative to Vapi - Dograh helps you build your own voice agents with an easy drag-and-drop workflow builder. It’s the fastest way to build voice AI agents - from zero to working bot in under 2 minutes (our hard SLA standards).

• 100% open source, self-hostable platform - no vendor lock-in, unlike proprietary solutions like Vapi
• Full control & transparency - every line of code is open, with built-in AI testing personas and flexible LLM/TTS/STT integration
• Maintained by YC alumni and exit founders, ensuring the future of voice AI stays open, not monopolized

🚀 Get Started

The only command you need to run:

Download and setup Dograh on your local machine

Note We collect anonymous usage data to improve the product. You can opt out by setting the ENABLE_TELEMETRY to false in the below command.

curl -o docker-compose.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/docker-compose.yaml && REGISTRY=ghcr.io/dograh-hq ENABLE_TELEMETRY=true docker compose up --pull always

Note First startup may take 2-3 minutes to download all images. Once running, open http://localhost:3010 to create your first AI voice assistant! For common issues and solutions, see 🔧 Troubleshooting.

🎙️ Your First Voice Bot

1. Open Dashboard: Launch http://localhost:3010 on your browser
2. Choose Call Type: Select Inbound or Outbound calling.
3. Name Your Bot: Use a short two-word name (e.g., Lead Qualification).
4. Describe Use Case: In 5–10 words (e.g., Screen insurance form submissions for purchase intent).
5. Launch: Your bot is ready! Open the bot and click Web Call to talk to it.
6. No API Keys Needed: We auto-generate Dograh API keys so you can start immediately. You can switch to your own keys anytime.
7. Default Access: Includes Dograh’s own LLMs, STT, and TTS stack by default.
8. Bring Your Own Keys: Optionally connect your own API keys for LLMs, STT, TTS, or telephony providers like Twilio.
