Deploy and Host LobbyStack on Railway

LobbyStack answers your business calls with an AI voice agent and books appointments while the caller is still on the line. Transcripts, recordings and follow-up texts land in a dashboard your team can check later. The code is MIT licensed, so you can rebrand it and sell it to your own clients.

About Hosting LobbyStack

The template deploys these services:

admin: dashboard and API, on a public domain
voice-gateway: connects Twilio calls to OpenAI Realtime, on a public domain
worker: follow-ups and scheduled jobs
migrate: updates the database on each deploy, then exits
Postgres with pgvector and Redis, each on a volume, plus a bucket for recordings

Railway generates every password and secret at deploy. You enter an OpenAI API key and your Twilio credentials. Then open the admin domain, create your account and pick a phone number. LobbyStack buys the number on your Twilio account and points its webhooks at the voice gateway.

Common Use Cases

Answer after-hours calls for a clinic, salon or home services company
Book appointments and text confirmations without picking up the phone
Sell a rebranded AI receptionist to your agency's clients

Dependencies for LobbyStack Hosting

An OpenAI API key for voice calls and chat
A Twilio account for phone numbers, calls and texts

Implementation Details

You pay Railway for hosting and OpenAI and Twilio for usage, but not LobbyStack. The source is at https://github.com/lobbystack/lobbystack and the self-hosting docs are at https://docs.lobbystack.com/self-hosting/overview.
