SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Building production voice agents involves coordinating speech recognition, synthesis, turn detection, and streaming audio across multiple providers, where latency, interruption handling, and privacy failures are common and hard to diagnose. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architecture Guidance: Separates transport, audio processing, turn detection, transcription, orchestration, tools, synthesis, and observability into explicit components with defined codecs, buffering, and reconnection behavior. - Conversational Behavior Rules: Covers barge-in, silence, noise, partial transcripts, dropped connections, and confirmation for sensitive or irreversible actions. - Privacy, Safety & Evaluation: Enforces recording consent, data minimization, regional routing transparency, and structured testing across devices, accents, networks, and provider throttling. - Use Case: When building a telephony voice agent that must handle interruptions and escalate to humans, use this Skill to define the latency contract, cancellation logic, and evaluation metrics before writing provider SDK code. ## Quick Start Use the voice-ai-development skill to design the architecture and turn-taking behavior for my real-time customer support voice agent.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a real-time voice AI agent?▼

Start by defining a latency, quality, and turn-taking contract, then separate transport, audio processing, turn detection, transcription, orchestration, and synthesis into distinct components. Verify current provider models, APIs, and pricing before committing to SDKs.

How to handle interruptions and barge-in in voice agents?▼

Support barge-in by stopping synthesis immediately and cancelling obsolete work when the user speaks. Also handle silence, crosstalk, partial transcripts, and dropped connections to keep the conversation recoverable.

What architecture should a voice AI system use?▼

Separate transport, audio processing, turn detection, transcription, conversation orchestration, tools, synthesis, session state, and observability. Define audio codec, sample rate, buffering, backpressure, reconnect, and cleanup behavior explicitly.

Does voice AI require consent for recording calls?▼

Yes, obtain required consent before recording or transcribing. Minimize retained audio and transcripts, define deletion policies, protect credentials, and make provider data handling and regional routing explicit.

How do I test and evaluate a voice AI system?▼

Test representative devices, networks, accents, background noise, interruption, long sessions, provider throttling, and reconnects. Measure end-to-end latency, transcription quality, interruption success, task completion, and cost rather than relying on generic claims.

When should voice agents hand off to humans?▼

Provide human or text alternatives when voice is inaccessible or unreliable, and emergency handoff appropriate to the domain. Also require confirmation for sensitive, costly, or irreversible actions before executing them.
