Any recommended AI tool for FreeSWITCH config & troubleshooting?

[sokalsondha]

Hi,
I work with multiple FreeSWITCH servers and I'm trying to use AI tools to help generate dialplan XML, gateway configs, routing logic, and troubleshoot SIP issues.

I’ve tried ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and GitHub Copilot — but none of them produce 100% accurate FreeSWITCH configuration, even when I provide documentation and logs.

Is anyone here using an AI platform that actually works well for FreeSWITCH configuration and troubleshooting?
Any recommendations would help. Thanks.

I'm in the same boat as you, and I've concluded that Freeswitch documentation is often outdated or non-existent, so no LLM models can be appropriately trained to produce good output. It's a hit or miss, and there is a lot of hallucination happening.

I usually rely on the FreeSWITCH source code as the real documentation; it’s the only fully accurate way to understand what FreeSWITCH can do and how it actually behaves.

If you want AI to be more reliable, try feeding it the relevant source files directly so it doesn’t have to guess. For dialplan work, the most useful ones are mod_dialplan_xml.c, mod_dptools.c, and mod_commands.c. I haven’t tried this approach extensively myself, but it’s worth experimenting with

I agree, looking at the FreeSWITCH source code it what I have often had to do to find out about undocumented configuration, a good example was mod_amqp.

As for AI, It is my personal opinion that it may be a useful learning tool although it is not always correct or accurate. I certainly would not use AI to generate code or configuration for a production environment.
