Wispr Flow: Dictation That Works EverywhereStop typing. Start speaking. 4x faster.
Closed voice platforms make you rent your own agents. Dograh is completely open source- nothing is gated. Visual flow builder, add your model key across 30+ integrations or use local models, telephony, human transfer, and advanced QA & monitoring - all free to self-host in one command. Also connect your claude code with MCP to build voice agents for a use case or call recordings.

@hannesh - Thank you for your message.
We have given a lot of thought to how call transfer is configured and works on @Dograh. You can not only set up static destinations but also resolve dynamic destinations based on the call context. The experience is very seamless for the caller. We have the option to provide a transition message - like "Please hold on while I transfer your call to a live agent", and if anything breaks during the transfer, we have a very graceful fallback also which can be controlled by the prompt.
Dograh
@hannesh thanks! from the caller's side it's pretty smooth - they hear hold music while we dial the destination in the background, and you can configure a heads-up message first so it's not abrupt ('connecting you to our billing team now'). importantly, we don't just throw the call over the wall - Dograh actually dials the destination and waits for it to answer before bridging the caller in, so they're never dropped onto a dead or unavailable line. there's also a configurable timeout in case nobody picks up. the one gap today is context isn't automatically passed to the human once connected, but that's very much in our roadmap.
Dograh
@hannesh The transfer is seamless for the caller. Dograh plays hold music while dialing the destination and only bridges the call once someone answers. You can also configure a short transition message, timeout, and fallback behavior.
Hey guys, congratulations on the launch! Curious to know how are you guys priced compared to Vapi or Retell.
Dograh
@seomaxtech Thank you for your message.
Our cloud offering is priced at 1 cent per minute of calling if you bring your own keys for models compared to around 5 cents per minute from Vapi and Retell.
If you use Dograh managed models, our model usage is priced at around 7 cents per minute compared to around 8 - 12 cents per minute from Vapi and Retell.
Dograh
@seomaxtech Our cloud offering costs $0.01 per minute with your own model keys, compared with around $0.05 per minute for Vapi and Retell. With Dograh-managed models, it is around $0.07 per minute, compared with roughly $0.08 to $0.12 per minute. And we can go much lower with an increase in volume.
@sandeep_vemu Got it. thanks!
Dograh
@seomaxtech to summarise what the team said - self-host it and it's free forever, or use our cloud at 1¢/min + model usage. Your call on ownership vs. convenience :)
Outcome
@pritesh_kumar3 @sandeep_vemu @a6kme1 love the mission behind creating wildly applicable open source offerings. Maybe its an odd question but I am curious - what is the pathway toward revenue generation - is the goal to primarily capture some big fish on the enterprise side? Anyways - killer launch - big fan of what you're doing - following the product / following along!
Dograh
@dzaitzow - Thank you so much for the kind words.
We strongly believe that once Dograh is into consideration of every company in the world for their voice AI use case, revenue will be an organic side effect of that. The primary focus right now is to be able to create as much value as possible for our early believers and customers to cement our place in this industry and market.
Enterprise tickets are of course something thats super welcome and helps us bring the revenue numbers up, and some of very large enterprises (Bn $$+) have told us that they are self hosting Dograh for their use case.
Dograh
great question @dzaitzow :D
We are believers in OSS and isn't that how the dev ecosystem should always be - open and accessible :)
For monetisation - we are walking the shoes of great oss project in the past. A bunch os companies use our cloud simply because they have the optionality to switch to Open source when required
Outcome
@pritesh_kumar3 really neat!
Dograh looks great. Can Dograh agents call APIs and take actions during a conversation?
Dograh
@shikhil_kumar_gupta - Thank you for your comment.
Yes definitely. Dograh has excellent support for Tool Calls which enables the voice agents to be able to call APIs and interact with external systems during the course of its conversation.
Dograh
@shikhil_kumar_gupta Yes, Dograh agents can call APIs using tool calls and take actions in external systems during a conversation.
Dograh
@shikhil_kumar_gupta Thank you for a this question. Beyond generic tool calls, Dograh is MCP-native, so you can plug your agent into any existing MCP server and it inherits those tools without you writing custom glue for each API. And because agents are multi-step, you can trigger a specific action at the right point in the flow like look up an account during verification, book the slot after qualifying, warm-transfer to a human when needed.
Do try us and we would love to hear your feedback on this. A lot of our clients as well as us have found the MCP tool really powerful in designing an agent efficiently.
Dograh
Thanks @shikhil_kumar_gupta . Dograh has inbuilt tool calling for API calls and MCP calling. you can create tools and attach them to your voice agent (with simple english instructions on when to make a particular tool call). The agnet invokes the right tool to make an MCP/API call to any external system as required.
Swytchcode
This is really nice. Do we need to provide custom data for training or is it ready from the go?
Dograh
@chilarai - We ship with an MCP server that can help you build an agent on Dograh. While we dont expect you to bring in earlier conversation recording or custom data, if you have them, the coding agent (using Dograh's MCP) can extract signals and context from there and be able to create an agent which works better for your use case.
You can always find more help on our Slack community.
Dograh
@chilarai its ready from the go - you can build and test any voice agent for your use ccase - within 90 seconds (90sec is our SLA).
Give it a spin here: app.dograh.com
Dograh
@chilarai It’s ready to use out of the box, so no custom training data is required. You can still connect your own data and customize the agent for your use case.
Dograh
@mdsahilnoob - Thanks a lot for your support.
Yes, we have almost everything that Vapi has only more. We are always hungry for product feedback and the community is always available to help. See you there!!
Dograh
@mdsahilnoob Thanks for the support! Glad Dograh’s open-source approach resonates.
Dograh
Hi @mdsahilnoob, Absolutely. Cost is a big point.
Our cloud hosted platform is at a flat 1¢/min platform fee with your own provider keys, or you can self-host the open-source build for zero platform fee. Plus hybrid voice (human clips + cloned TTS) can cut latency and cost to a great deal on the underlying usage.
Dograh
Thanks@mdsahilnoob . While both Vapi and retell are great products, but with Dograh you get the flexibility to self host and control costs (dramatically lower with self hosting ) - and also complete ownership of your product (not renting)
Great launch team. Kudos!
In the meantime, Id love to know how to catch an agent that gives a bad response. And what does the debugging experience look like if we are tryin to figure out why. ?
Dograh
@mayurmaheshwari - Thank you for your support.
You can use native QA node in Dograh or integrate with our partner services like Tuner, Noveum or Roark to catch a agent that is not doing its job properly and giving a bad response.
You can use chat mode on Dograh to debug and test an agent while building it.
We are always available on Slack to answer any questions you might have. :)
