How to run a local AI phone and chat dashboard on Windows with Tel Agent

Install the Windows package to start the local service and open the Tel Agent dashboard in a browser.

Who it is forA non-developer or small team lead on Windows who wants to try an open AI assistant on their own PC without Docker.

The problemSetting up a self-hosted AI assistant usually means containers or a developer toolchain, which blocks trial use.

The outcomeThe local service runs, the dashboard opens in the browser, and an administrator account is created on first visit.

What you need first

  • Docker, or a native installer from the releases page (Windows, macOS or Linux)
  • API keys for an STT provider, an LLM and a TTS provider (or a GPU for local models)
  • For phone calls: a SIP endpoint such as a PBX extension, a SIP-registering router, or an ATA for analog lines, on the same LAN as the PBX
  • Network access to the PBX on 5060/UDP and an open RTP port range

Steps

  1. Open the releases page at https://github.com/Dpro-at/Tel-Agent/releases/latest and download the Windows installer.
  2. Run the installer. Windows will ask once before it runs because the installers are unsigned.
  3. Wait for the installer to start the local service and open the dashboard in your browser.
  4. Create the administrator account on the first visit, since there are no default credentials.
  5. Add your STT, LLM and TTS provider keys in the settings before testing a conversation.

Prompt for your agent

From the Dpro-at/Tel-Agent releases page, install the Windows package for <Windows version> and open the dashboard. Expected output: the dashboard loads in the browser and a first administrator account is created. Verify that the service is running on the local loopback address before entering any provider keys.

Caveat. The Windows installer is unsigned while code signing is not configured, and the README describes the project as alpha.
