How to Build Voice Agents That Don't Fall Apart When You Interrupt - Jesse Hall, LiveKit

Jesse Hall of LiveKit explains how to build voice agents for financial services that feel human rather than robotic. The talk covers why model leaderboards mislead for real-time conversations, why time to first audio and time to first sentence matter more than first byte or first token, and how async tool calls keep a conversation flowing during slow back-end work. It also covers audio-aware turn detection, the roughly 1.5-second latency budget, and benchmarking your own stack with simulated callers.

100x More Reliable Voice Agents

SLNG.ai introduces Unmute, an open declarative standard for voice agents, addressing platform lock-in and the limitations of current agent architectures. It proposes a shift from LLM-centric, sequential pipelines to declared execution with structural guarantees, enabling portable, cost-effective, and robust voice agents by breaking down complex interactions into modular, context-aware steps. This approach minimizes token usage, enhances determinism, and improves agent reliability compared to traditional single-prompt designs.
