This week in Voice AI may have been quieter, but it still brought some noteworthy updates 🤗 ! @AgoraIO has released its new ConvoAI Studio providing a no-code deployment tool to configure, test, & deploy Voice AI agents, along with targeted solutions for Customer Support and Sales & Marketing. Additionally, a new open-source solution called Dograh has emerged, which mimics VAPI or Retell AI solutions. @togethercompute has also enhanced its offerings by adding hosted for speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) models to deploy very low latency agents in a similar way to Cloudflare approach. Two opensource TTS models coming from @hume_ai and @FishAudio promising zero content hallucinations with a novel text-audio sync approach in the first case and promising high level of control and emotions in the second case. As usual, upgrades for all the major orchestration frameworks @livekit, @pipecat_ai and @TenFramework and found specially interesting the approach to split instructions by modality added to LiveKit that we have been using at @livetok_ai for a while too, and the interesting blog post from Daily showing the performance of the new @nvidia Nemotron model for Voice AI use cases. Full update with more news, details and link below 👇 Have a nice week!
