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

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.

Note If you wish to run the platform on a remote server instead, checkout our Documentation

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.
