Tech Talk: Anatomy of a Voice Agent: Orchestrating High-Stakes Conversational AI
Speaker: Somesh Thati (iLink Digital)
Abstract: What happens between the "hello" and the "how can I help you"? This session deconstructs the modern voice agent, moving beyond basic pipelines into the complex orchestration of Twilio, Azure, and LLMs. We’ll perform a deep-dive into the "anatomy" of a production-ready system: managing the transition from speech-to-text, handling the logic of intermediate responses to mask latency, and implementing robust barge-in for natural turn-taking. Whether you're building virtual assistants or autonomous workers, you'll gain a blueprint for solving the real-world engineering challenges that make or break the human experience.
