The challenge with voice AI isn’t the model—it’s everything around it.

Production-Ready, Not a Demo

Most voice AI demos are not over telephony. Real production is different.

What Actually Matters

1. Voice Activity Detection is Everything

Knowing when the user stopped speaking is harder than it sounds. We built multiple VAD engines optimized for different scenarios — aggressive for fast conversations, conservative for noisy environments, adaptive for everything in between.

2. Full Call Lifecycle

Initiation, connection, active conversation, evaluation, termination, archival. Each phase has its own failure modes. Connection handling, retry logic, state management.

Built-in Intelligence

Every call automatically generates:

This isn’t bolted on. The AI extracts this data as part of the conversation flow.

Enterprise-Grade Operations

Prompting & Context Engineering

LLM costs add up fast in voice. Every turn is a new API call.

We obsess over prompt efficiency — minimal system prompts, structured context injection, aggressive pruning of conversation history. The goal: get the same quality response with fewer tokens.

Agent design matters too. Single-purpose agents with tight scopes outperform general-purpose ones in both latency and cost.

The Cost Reality

Voice AI platforms charge per minute. At scale, this destroys unit economics for high-volume use cases like collections or lead qualification.

Self-hosted infrastructure with efficient audio processing (WASM-based, no GPU required) changes the math entirely.
