- 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
