Masterclass: A Realistic View of Building Voice Agents
You've built a voice agent that can handle a conversation, retrieve information and trigger API calls.
But what happens when two users speak at once? When an API takes longer than expected? When the speech recognition gets a name wrong?
These aren't edge cases you can ignore in production. They're engineering problems you have to account for.
In the first session of Murf Voice Circle's Masterclass series, Gaurav Singh, SDE-II at Murf AI, takes a closer look at what it actually takes to build and run voice agents in production.
This is a technical deep dive into the architecture, engineering decisions and operational challenges behind production-grade voice agents.
What We'll Cover
Anatomy of a voice agent: Every layer, from telephony to text-to-speech, including prompt caching, noise suppression, language switching and voicemail detection.
Turn-taking and interruptions: Detecting when a caller has finished speaking, handling interruptions and managing conversational flow.
Latency: Understanding where milliseconds go during a conversational turn and what can be done to reduce delays.
The LLM layer: Prompting for speech, managing tool calls and using prompt caching without compromising conversational flow.
Running voice agents reliably: Infrastructure considerations, vendor downtime, fallbacks and observability.
Build vs buy: Exploring open-source and commercial options for each component, along with the engineering effort involved in adopting them.
Who Should Attend?
AI and software developers looking to integrate voice capabilities into existing applications.
Engineers and technical leads building, testing or scaling conversational AI systems.
Founders and product teams exploring voice as an interface for AI-powered products.
This is not an introductory session on AI or LLMs. Some familiarity with building AI-powered applications will help you get the most out of it.
The First of Many
Murf Voice Circle is where developers will come together to learn, exchange ideas and explore what's possible with voice AI.
This Masterclass is just the beginning. We're planning more sessions featuring practical insights, technical deep dives and conversations with people building in the space.
Stay tuned. We're just getting started.
