Open Source AI Phone Assistant | Call & Chat

A developer has released Tel-Agent, an open-source AI phone assistant designed to handle calls and chats for small businesses. The project, available on GitHub under the AGPL license, focuses on keeping voice-agent round-trips under one second and supports features like barge-in and silence detection. The roadmap includes multi-language support, including Arabic.

Phones are still where real business happens. Missed calls are missed customers, and most small teams can't afford a 24/7 receptionist. So I've been building Tel-Agent — an 🔗 Website: tel-agent.com https://tel-agent.com ⭐ GitHub repo: github.com/Dpro-at/Tel-Agent https://github.com/Dpro-at/Tel-Agent Voice AI is too important to be a black box. Your call data is sensitive — customer names, numbers, intents. With an open codebase: Tel-Agent is released under AGPL , so improvements flow back to the community. The pipeline is the classic voice-agent triangle, tuned for latency: The hard part isn't any single step — it's keeping the round-trip under ~1 second so the caller never feels like they're talking to a robot on a delay. Interruption handling "barge-in" , silence detection, and graceful fallbacks took more iteration than everything else combined. The roadmap is public and moving: multi-language support including Arabic — underserved in voice AI and personally important to me , deeper calendar integrations, and better analytics on call outcomes.
