ShortLoop – Replay Audio Calls and Test Your VoiceAI
VoiceAI builders can replay production calls (or) create voice test data set and replay those calls to your VoiceAI. With this(https://app.shortloop.dev/) you can now test end to end flows frequently and in an automated way. We have been tinkering with LLMs and building voice applications for the past few months. As we were trying to improve our voice bots performance (interruptions, latency of tts, llm etc) it became very tedious to test our bot over and over again speaking to it. With real users we would observe edge cases that we didn’t handle before. After making changes…
ShortLoop – Replay Audio Calls and Test Your VoiceAI launched on August 2, 2024 with 14 votes, #1,169 of 5,471 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
ShortLoop allows VoiceAI builders to replay production call recordings or create custom voice test datasets and replay them against their voice applications. This enables automated, frequent testing of end-to-end flows without manual repetition. The tool helps developers identify and fix edge cases in voice bot performance, such as handling interruptions, latency issues, and varied speech patterns, by replaying the exact same audio scenarios multiple times to test different bot changes.

I built a sub-500ms latency voice agent from scratchMar 2026 · ntik.me · ▲570I built a voice agent from scratch that averages ~400ms end-to-end latency (phone stop → first syllable). That’s with full STT → LLM → TTS in the loop, clean barge-ins, and no precomputed responses. What moved the needle: Voice is a turn-taking problem, not a transcription problem. VAD alone fails; you need semantic end-of-turn detection. The system reduces to one loop: speaking vs listening. The two transitions - cancel instantly on barge-in, respond instantly on end-of-turn - define the experience. STT → LLM → TTS must stream. Sequential pipelines are dead on arrival for natural…

Voice bots with 500ms response times2024 · fastvoiceagent.cerebrium.ai · ▲315Last year when GPT-4 was released I started making lots of little voice + LLM experiments. Voice interfaces are fun; there are several interesting new problem spaces to explore. I'm convinced that voice is going to be a bigger and bigger part of how we all interact with generative AI. But one thing that's hard, today, is building voice bots that respond as quickly as humans do in conversation. A 500ms voice-to-voice response time is just barely possible with today's AI models. You can get down to 500ms if you: host transcription, LLM inference, and voice generation all together in one place;…

Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
