Fixa – an open source Python package for testing voice agents

hey! this is oliver and jonathan and today, we’re launching fixa — a free, open source package to test voice agents. fixa uses a voice agent to call your voice agent and an LLM to evaluate how the conversation went. here's a demo: https://youtu.be/LAW1wW6SjTo this was initially a paid feature of our platform, but the monetization model didn't really make sense. our customers were paying us for all the components of our agent (STT + LLM + TTS + markup) in addition to their own agent – even though many of them have preferred vendors, volume discounts, and credits. we came to the…

In plain words

Fixa is an open source Python package that enables developers to test voice agents by having one voice agent call another and using an LLM to evaluate the conversation quality. Built for teams developing voice applications, it allows users to bring their own API keys for speech-to-text, language models, and text-to-speech components rather than paying for bundled services. The package is free to use and available on GitHub.

    I've been obsessed for the past ~year with the possibilities of talking to LLMs. I built a bunch of one-off prototypes, shared code on X, started a Meetup group in SF, and co-hosted a big hackathon. It turns out that there are a few low-level problems that everybody building conversational/real-time AI needs to solve on the way to building/shipping something that works well: low-latency media transport, echo cancellation, voice activity detection, phrase endpointing, pipelining data between models/services, handling voice interruptions, swapping out different…

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
