What it does

The fastest path to a working Voice Agent, built on the most accurate Voice AI in the market. Stream audio in, get audio back. We handle the rest. ~1s latency. Best-in-class accuracy on the stuff that matters (numbers, emails, names). Tool calling that doesn't go silent. Mid-call prompt + voice + tool updates. $4.50/hr flat. No per-token. No concurrency caps. Most devs ship a working agent the same day.

Build production-ready voice agents on a single connection. Low-latency speech-to-speech with turn detection, tool calling, and unified billing at $4.50/hr.

Models, APIs, and infrastructure in one place. Build voice into any product, on any stack. Zoom leverages AssemblyAI to help advance its AI research and development. Siro achieves a 90% reduction in customer complaints and support tickets. Our new flagship speech-to-text model handles real-world audio the way it actually happens. Available for real-time and pre-recorded audio. Ask questions about our products, APIs, and documentation to experience real-time Voice AI in action. Universal-3.5 Pro gets the details right — emails, phone numbers, order IDs, and names — so your voice agent can actually complete customer tasks.

    I 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…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
