Vocode

Vocode is an open-source Python library (vocode-core, MIT licensed) for building real-time, streaming voice AI agents that run over phone calls, plus a hosted REST API at https://api.vocode.dev/v1 (Bearer API key) for placing and managing outbound and inbound phone calls, configuring agents, voices, prompts, actions, phone numbers, and webhooks without operating the streaming infrastructure yourself.

Vocode publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Actions API, Agents API, Calls API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Voice AI, Voice Agents, Telephony, Conversational AI, and Phone Calls.

Vocode’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, and 8 more developer resources.
