The UserIdleHandler injected its "are you still there?" and disconnect prompts as role="user" messages. These are agent-side directives, not user utterances, so they should be injected as role="system" to avoid polluting the conversation transcript with fake user turns and to read correctly by the LLM. Updated the realtime append tests to match. Also forward ports 3000 (UI) and 8000 (API) in the devcontainer so the running services are reachable from the host.

🚀 Get Started
Download and setup Dograh on your Local Machine
Note
We collect anonymous usage data to improve the product. You can opt out by setting
ENABLE_TELEMETRY=falsebefore running the startup script.
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 && curl -o start_docker.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dograh-hq/dograh/main/scripts/start_docker.sh && chmod +x start_docker.sh && ./start_docker.sh
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
- Open http://localhost:3010 in your browser.
- Pick Inbound or Outbound, name your bot (e.g. Lead Qualification), and describe the use case in 5–10 words (e.g. Screen insurance form submissions for purchase intent).
- Click Web Call — you're talking to your bot.
🔑 No API keys needed. Dograh ships with auto-generated keys and its own LLM / TTS / STT stack. Connect your own keys for LLM, TTS, STT, or Telephony (e.g. Twilio, Vonage, Telnyx) anytime.
