Call - PraisonAI

The call command starts the PraisonAI Call server for voice-based AI interactions over phone calls.

Usage

praisonai call [OPTIONS]

Options

Option	Description	Default
`--port`	Port to run the server on	`8090` (or `PORT` env var)
`--host`	Host to bind the server to	`127.0.0.1`
`--public`	Expose the server via an ngrok tunnel	`false`

praisonai call binds to 127.0.0.1 by default — local machine access only. To expose on your LAN, pass --host 0.0.0.0 (a warning will print). To expose publicly, use --public (requires NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN).

The praisonai call CLI loads .env explicitly at run time. Importing praisonai.api.call no longer loads .env at import time — set PRAISONAI_CALL_LOAD_DOTENV=true to restore the legacy import-time behaviour. See PraisonAI Call.

Examples

Start locally (default)

Custom port

Expose publicly via ngrok

export NGROK_AUTH_TOKEN="your-ngrok-auth-token"
