channel-extension
Use when adding a new messaging channel to Tel-Agent or changing an existing one — a transport under api/channels/, its official extension manifest, its settings card, tests, health and docs. Covers the file checklist, the two inbound shapes (dial-out and the public door), the credential and signature rules that are not negotiable, the declarative setup descriptor the generic card draws from, and the test shape every channel ships with.
Choose how to use this skill
You do not need every option. Choose the path your AI client supports. The stable page stays the same; versioned files are immutable.
1. Native installer
This listing has no registered native installer command. Use the complete package or source fallback below, depending on what your client supports.
Do not guess an installer command or replace an existing version without reviewing the diff.
2. Complete package recommended
Download the ZIP when available. It includes SKILL.md plus the references, security notes and version metadata.
No complete ProSkills package is published for this listing yet.3. Prompt-only
Copy the prompt above when the agent can read the stable page or when you want to adopt the workflow without installing a skill.
Need only the instruction file?
Download SKILL.md only if your client requires a single file. The complete ZIP is safer for a full installation because it preserves the references and release context.
No path installs or executes anything by itself. Your agent still needs access to the project files. Before updating, compare the installed version and review the diff.

What it is
Tel-Agent is an open-source gateway that sits between a phone line and an AI agent.
A call arrives over SIP. Tel-Agent checks the caller against your routing rules and either passes it through to a human, blocks it, or hands it to an AI agent. The agent speaks with the caller in real time, can invoke tools — transfer the call, take a message, check a calendar, call any HTTP endpoint — and every call is recorded, transcribed, and searchable.
It runs on your own hardware, on your own LAN, with your own API keys.
The same agent handles phone calls and answers on web chat, SMS, email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, Discord and Slack — connected with your own credentials from each platform, never a shared application of ours. The official channel scope now covers 24 channels including the phone, with additional channels built on the extension contract. A channel is a route a customer uses to reach you; a system you run your own business on is an integration, and those are reached through webhooks and the HTTP tool.
What it is not
- Not a PBX replacement. It connects to your existing PBX (3CX, Asterisk, FreePBX) as an extension.
- Not a workflow automation platform. Webhooks and a generic HTTP tool reach n8n and Home Assistant, which do that job better. A channel is where the conversation happens; an integration is a system the agent acts on. We own the first and reach the second through the HTTP tool.
- Not a CRM.
- Not analog-capable. Bridge an analog line with an ATA; Tel-Agent only speaks SIP.
Why it exists
Well-funded closed products already do "AI receptionist for business". What does not exist is a good open, self-hosted one — where you own the recordings, choose the models, and decide which callers ever reach the AI at all.
Project status
Alpha. Native installers and container images are available today. Choose a platform on the download page, or get the packages from the
releases page: a Windows
installer, macOS packages for Apple Silicon and Intel, DEB and RPM packages for Linux,
and a docker-compose.release.yml that pulls the published images. The installers are
unsigned while code signing is not yet configured, so the operating system will ask
once before it runs.
What works now. A conversation is answered end to end: the reply streams token by token, can be interrupted mid-sentence, is stored, and raises a notification so a person knows someone wrote in. The phone implementation includes streaming speech recognition and synthesis, interruption handling, caller-ID routing, and stored call transcripts through the SIP/LiveKit transport. Twilio integration handles SMS with customer-owned credentials. The core messaging channels are wired — web chat, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, Instagram, Discord, Slack, email and SMS — and the dashboard serves them from a real API: sign-in and the account flows, home, the conversation archive, the notification tray, contacts, assistants, knowledge, the catalogue, apps, numbers, routing rul
