In depth
An AI agent that users talk to by voice, which listens, reasons, calls tools, and answers in speech. It is built either as a chained pipeline of speech-to-text, a text agent, and text-to-speech, or as a single speech-to-speech model that handles audio directly. Chained pipelines let you inspect and swap each stage, while speech-to-speech models cut latency and handle interruptions more naturally.
