We built an open-source alternative to Vapi/Retell out of rage and it became #1 on Product Hunt.
We started Dograh, an open-source voice AI platform out of rage and frustration.
Every voice AI tool I tried was too costly, too closed, or too scammy. Add-on after add-on.
So we open-sourced every single line from day one. It’s self-hostable, so you own your stack and your data.
Here's what pushed us deeper. Over the last few months, the big labs have been lobbying governments to ban open source. Some say the quiet goal is to "let wealth access skill without letting skill access wealth." That line stuck with us. It's exactly why we keep going.
Because we believe one thing: no company should own voice AI.
We're a small team going up against deeply funded war chests. Today, we launched on Product Hunt, and somehow we're sitting at #1 so far.
An OSS community member picked us up a few weeks back, and we went viral and hit 5k stars on github.

If you've got a minute, a star or a bit of support would mean the world.
