For organizations prioritizing data privacy and zero variable cloud costs related to inference, it is entirely possible to build a voice agent using off-the-shelf open source tools. In this post, we will outline a practical Voice AI stack that avoids vendor lock-in while still supporting real-time, natural
LLMs alone can’t “act.” They generate text. The key to success, and the way to avoid the 80% of AI projects that never leave the prototype stage, is moving beyond conversation to orchestration. This means integrating LLM reasoning with automation frameworks, enabling explainable outcomes and human oversight,
Voice AI agents have unique deployment needs. Operational complexity multiplies quickly. You’re not just deploying code; you’re orchestrating real-time audio pipelines that need to maintain call quality under load, coordinate between AI services that each have their own scaling characteristics, and handle the networking complexities of audio
WebRTC.ventures is proud to announce that AVA Intellect, the Live AI Agent platform we’ve been helping build over the past year, has been acquired by Wowza, a global leader in video streaming infrastructure and technology solutions. AVA is an AI-native startup specializing in intelligent and embedded agent
