Deploy conversational voice agents with Bolna

Deploy conversational voice agents with Bolna

Build and run voice-first conversational agents by configuring telephony, ASR, LLM, and TTS providers behind a deployable orchestration service.

Prerequisites

Docker Compose, Redis, a telephony provider such as Twilio or Plivo, ASR/LLM/TTS provider credentials, optional ngrok for local telephony testing

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• docker compose build
• docker compose up -d
• docker compose up -d bolna-app twilio-app
• docker compose up -d bolna-app plivo-app

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• This script will check for Docker dependencies, build all services with BuildKit enabled, and start them in detached mode.
• Make sure you have Docker with Docker Compose V2 installed
• Once the docker containers are up, you can now start to create your agents and instruct them to initiate calls.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• A basic local setup includes usage of Twilio or Plivo for telephony. We have dockerized the setup in local_setup...

• Choosing Twilio: for initiating the calls one will need to set up a Twilio account

• The easiest way to get started is to use the provided script:
