Student calls answered on servers you control
Dograh is the self-hostable voice agent platform with an open-source workflow builder. Answer admissions questions, chase missing application items, remind students about fees and handle routine support, with the student verified before any record detail.
Three calls your offices stop juggling
Answer every inquiry from your own pages
Knowledge Baseyour program pages and deadlines
The agent answers from documents your office publishes and logs each caller in the admissions CRM before the call ends.
→ Never predict an admission decision
Remind before the due date
HTTP API toolreads the balance mid-call
Once the student ID and date of birth match, the agent reads the amount and due date from your finance system.
→ Send payment plans to the bursar
Routine answers, and a safe exit
Transition Speechfixed words, never improvised
General questions come from your documents. Crisis words play your counselling team's wording, then transfer to staff.
→ Test crisis phrasings on a real phone
Reads from, writes to, runs on
Record details only after the student ID and date of birth match in your own system
Webhook node, retried automatically on a temporary failure
Call transfer to a person runs on Twilio only
Student data stays inside your perimeter
Recordings on your servers
Self-host Dograh with self-hosted models, and call audio, transcripts and record lookups stay on campus.
Fewer parties to cover
Every outside company that hears a student's call is one more party FERPA's direct-control test has to cover.
No per-minute platform fee
Self-host the BSD-2 code and pay only for servers, phone minutes and any model keys. Dograh Cloud has a 1¢-a-minute platform fee.
70+ languages
Detect the caller's language for international applicants, with the greeting written in both languages.

Every student call, one deep dive each
Is Dograh FERPA compliant?+×
FERPA's duties fall on the institution. Self-hosting Dograh with self-hosted models keeps call data on your servers, which makes direct control easier to show.
Does call audio stay on our servers?+×
Only when you self-host Dograh and run the speech and language models there too. With hosted model keys, the audio reaches that provider.
How does the agent verify a student?+×
It asks for the student ID and date of birth, and your own system checks the match before the agent reads any record detail.
Can it connect to Banner or our CRM?+×
There is no prebuilt connector. Your systems connect through HTTP API tools, MCP tools, webhooks or tools like n8n, set up by your team.
Can the agent take tuition payments?+×
No. An HTTP API tool asks your own system to send a secure payment link by text or email, and card numbers are never taken.
Will it tell applicants their chances?+×
Never. It reads the published requirements and offers to book a counsellor, so every admission decision stays with staff.
